There have been many times this month that I have stopped and thanked God for where He has me! The Lord has really been teaching me to live out of a place of abundance and to count the small victories daily. God gives us so much to be thankful for whether its through great friendships, unexpected blessings, or simple truths He speaks over us on a regular basis. I have challenged myself to write down 2-3 small victories each night from the day in my journal to continue to live from a place of abundance and thanksgiving for all that the Lord is doing.
Here’s a short list of the small victories and points of thanksgiving from this month!
-eating pad thai almost every single day of this month…it’s SO GOOD!!
-growing in spiritual discipline and spending quality time with the Lord daily
-spending quality time with team Sojos and getting to know each team member…so many laughs and great memories have already been made in our short time together!
-waking up and running on the beach multiple times this past week…the beach is one of my favorite places to go to connect with God
-taking time to dream and write down goals and a dream inventory for the future
-resting in God’s presence and being recharged and filled up by Him for the next half of our race (Yeah…we are halfway through our race…CRAZY to acknowledge this)
-taking time to stop and reflect on the race thus far and thank God for the multiple lessons and areas of growth in my walk with Him and relationships with others
These are a few of the small victories from this month in Thailand and points of thanksgiving! I am beyond thankful for where He has me and the ways I get to pursue Him wholeheartedly around the world. THANK YOU for your continual support and prayers as I continue on this grand adventure of pursuing God and others for the kingdom! I challenge each one of you to start writing down a few small victories from each day and to keep a list of them and to regularly look over it and thank God for where He has you and what He is doing in your life!
Love and Miss you all so dearly!
