Hey there! I’m still using my blog as a platform for times when the Lord tells me to speak so if I blog, it’ll be mostly post-race thoughts and revelations!
Since Swazi, I’ve been writing 10 things I’m grateful for everyday. Honestly, most days I’m grateful for earthly pleasures. By most days, I mean about 95% of the time. But today the Lord stretched me to be grateful for real things. Things that are substantial and important. He then asked me to share, I think incase some people need a refresher for reasons why they are blessed!
- I’m able to listen and read the word of God, freely and fully
- I’m very blessed to be healthy
- I’m not consumed by fear about the world around me in this season
- I can look at the future with an optimistic and happy heart
- Even though I tend to expect way too much from myself, but I’ve already met all of God’s expectations for me. Thankful I can rest easy in that truth.
- I have people who genuinely love me
- I can finally find rest in my relationships, I now appreciate people for the way they are and no longer hold onto unrealistic expectations from people (PRAISE GOD!)
- I see the world as a place where anything can happen, I choose to remain optimistic
- I can’t lose my relationship with the Lord
- I still believe and know that with Jesus in me I can still make a difference.
I believe that these are things that can apply to anyone! If your outlook is starting to get stale, renew your mind with gratitude. We really do have so much to be grateful for. Thankfulness is something that can NEVER be taken from us, and will always turn our eyes towards Jesus.
Praying for you and rooting for you!
Love,
Syd
