Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which I cannot believe, but I'm SO excited about cause that means this semester is almost over!! Yay!
But more to the point- Thanksgiving is in just a few weeks and so this is the time that we are supposed to be thinking about the things that we are thankful for.
College students, say it with me- yeah right.
This is the time that we are so overloaded with work that we have no free time. Between last week and next, I had projects due in every class (2 in one class). This time can be ridiculously overwhelming and stressful. This is the time that we are tired of our classes and just want the semester to be over. These are the when I complain way too much.
And this is the time that we are supposed to be remembering what we are thankful for?
And so, I'm going to steal an idea from one of my favorite mommy bloggers, Amy, and post about something that I am thankful for each day.
I hope that you will join me in being thankful for one specific thing each day. We are so blessed so let's take some time and thank God for all that He has done for us.
Day 1- It seems only fitting that on my birthday I should be thankful for my parents.
Mom and Dad, I know that we don't say it enough, but thank you for all that you have done for us. Thank you for how you raised us. Thank you for trusting God with our lives and salvation. I know that we all scared you for a little while, but you trusted in God's plan and it all seems to have worked out ok, right? I am who I am today because of you. I am able to say yes to all God asks of me because of the example that you two set for us. I love you so much.
Also- that picture is from the Sunday before I left to spend the summer in Central Asia and India- talk about trusting God with their daughters.

I have the best parents in the world. Parents who love me and raised me to know the Lord. Parents who modeled how to live their life leveraged for the gospel. Parents who understand that we are not theirs, they are only borrowing us from our Heavenly Father. Parents who support all of us without fail, even when we say crazy things like, "Hey, I think I'm going to live on the other side of the world" or "Hey, I think I'm going to start living in downtown Durham, while still finishing school" (that one isn't me haha).
