I may not have been able to spend Thanksgiving with my family, but at least I got to spend it with people I love and who love me. I have so much to be thankful for this year, as Ive had a tough and challenging year and a half. With a loss of a job and struggling to make ends meet, nonetheless, struggling just to eat, fighting a deep and painful depression, and undergoing such grief and heartache, finding myself at the lowest point in my life; What now seems like a blink of an eye, has completely turned around. I owe all my thanks to God, who delivered me! Through this dark valley in my life, God surrounded me with His people. Reminding me, I wasnt alone and to help keep giving me the push I needed to keep going and not give up. God blessed me with best roommates, who well forever have a place in my heart for playing the role they needed to play through Christ. With Christs love flowing through them, I was lifted, supported and loved. I cant express my gratitude to Megan Coe, Laurie Gregory and Katie Jamison enough, for putting up with me during such a dark time in my life. There isnt enough words the express how grateful I am. I know it wasnt easy, but I know Christ used them in His plan and gave them the strength and through His grace, to be the roommates I needed. And secondly, I am grateful for two amazing friends, who walked into my life during that dark time and stood by my side, encouraging, praying and just being there, as a friend should, until my day of darkness turned into light, and then where there still, just as a friend should. Kimberlee Kleinheksel and Lauren Hanington, you two are my angels and I am so grateful for you. I am so grateful for every person who had to come through my life this last year plus, who also played that small part of keeping me on the right path, giving encouraging words, lending an ear, or taking a second just to pass on a brief and short, yet substantial amount of help. Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to one more friend, a friend who was there, more like family. She lent a helping hand in away I could never repay, and saying thank you, just doesnt seem to be enough. But its all I have to give right now. Kathryn Gundlach, thank you for your generosity, your love, friendship, prayers and believing for me and with me. You are amazing and inspirational! I love you, girl, and am so glad you came into my life. My prayer of thanks: Christ Jesus, I thank you! I thank you for your love and blessings. I thank you for always leading a way out of every dark valley. I thank you, Lord for not letting me starve when things got to hard. I thank you, Lord, for making sure I was never alone, every minute of every day. I thank you, Lord, for the love that You poured out, just to get me where I am now. Mostly, Lord, thank you, for delivering me and healing me. I feel the best Ive ever felt, more free than before, stronger and healthier. Most of all, happy and blessed. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for every person you used to reach me. May Your blessings be returned and be over flowing. God, You are the almighty and wondrous. You speak and mountains move. Thank you, Lord Jesus! Thank you!
