Thankful Thursday



As I was laying in Caden's bed yesterday morning, snuggling with him before waking him up, I was just thinking about how different my life is from last year at this time. I have posted about this before, so I dont feel the need to go in to details. I was just amazed at how things have turned around so quickly, and are better than I could have ever imagined. Through everything that was happening in my life, I had a peace about it that some may think is very strange. I knew that there was no use in crawling in my bed and crying until things got better, even though that is exactly what I wanted to do. I filled my time with Caden and his activities, church, and my friends. I knew that God had bigger plans for us, and that they had to be just around the corner. That is where that peace came from, my faith. All I could think about yesterday morning was, "Who would have thought at the beginning of this year that I would have someone like Shane. Someone that we are so comfortable with and loves us for who we are." We are all three happier than we have ever been, and all it took was a little lot of patience. I am so excited about what else is in store for us! This chapter in our lives is just getting started! Thank you to everyone that stood by Caden and I when things weren't so great! Thank you Jesus, for loving us unconditionally and holding us when we were to weak to stand on our own!

Thankful Thursday

This is my second week to link up with Blissfully Burton for "Thankful Thursday"! I think I am really going to enjoy reflecting every week on even the smallest things that I am thankful for! Thank you Megan, for putting this together! And thank you for your sweet comment, I wasnt able to reply for some reason!

I am thankful for my job, and all of the interaction I get with the children here at the apartments. This little boy gave me a thank you card yesterday, because I threw a "Back to School" party last week and gave out school supplies that had been donated by other residents.


I checked out a few books at the library this week to help this little girl get back in the routine of reading!



I am thankful for the opportunity to help with the GAs (Girls in Action) group at our church on Wednesday nights! I am a fill in for the regular teacher and last night was my first time. I prayed for God to speak through me to teach the girls what He wanted them to learn. I think it went very well, and I am looking forward to my next chance to fill in!
This is a few of our GAs

A few other things I am thankful for this week...

-We are going to 2nd grade orientation tonight! I am thankful that Caden got a great teacher! I was not very concerned this year because all of our 2nd grade teachers are amazing! We have been blessed all 3 years at Indian Valley with outstanding teachers!

- I found out this week that our town will have a flag football team for Caden's age this year! I am so excited and thankful that Caden has a chance to try something new! I am hoping that he finds something he loves doing very soon!

- I am thankful that we will be back in a routine next week! I always do and feel better on a schedule. I am very thankful to get back to a running schedule as well!

And here are the ones that I am so very thankful to have in my life...


I am counting my many, many blessings!
