This past weekend was Canadian Thanksgiving. I love this time of year. I love the fall colours, the smell in the air, time with family, and of course Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the trimmings. (My mother-in-laws stuffing is one of the things I most look forward to) I also love Thanksgiving because it gives me a chance to really think about what I'm thankful for, and go into specifics.
This year, I am particularly thankful for new beginnings. I am so thankful that I have a God who loves me, and has my life planned out before I was even born. I also love that I have a God who answers our prayers, and pulls us out of our valleys. A few months ago, my husband and I were in a valley. We were in a time of desperation, almost at the end of our rope. We prayed and cried out to God for a change, a new beginning. And boy did He provide! Within the time span of 3 weeks, my hubby had 2 interviews, a job offer, and we found a new place and moved 3 hours north. We thank God everyday for this blessing, and we are so beyond grateful that He has answered our prayer, and shown us His plan for us all at the same time. We have a new place with an amazing view, Jonathan has a new job that he loves, and we're in a better place within our marriage. We're happier, more relaxed, and just in a word....thankful.
