1. My roommates. La Nida is the BEST place to live in all of Charlottesville, I'm convinced. Abby is probably the sweetest person you will ever meet, without a doubt. Hope, the funnest person you will ever meet, by far. Ashleigh, pretty dang inspirational if you ask me.
We were soooo tan! What happened?!?!
2. My parents. I'm pretty sure that more supportive, loving, caring, awesome people do not exist. The Lord has blessed me with parents who love the Lord with such fervor and who cared to show that to me. Thank you Mom and Dad for teaching me who God is and how much he loves me.
Oh and my sister is kind of the bomb too!!
3. My education. What a blessing it is that I get to go to such an amazing school like UVA. I take it for granted pretty much everyday but it really is a blessing. I hope that in this coming year I can be a little more grateful for this incredible place.
Yeah, I'm blessed.
4. My small group. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty nervous about leading a small group. When school started I was convinced that it was a total fluke that I was chosen to be a leader. I had all these fears and worries that were totally ridiculous because God has it totally under control. He has blessed me in ways that I couldn't ever have dreamed.
Granted, this is plus or minus a few.
5. My job. It can be difficult and frustrating at times, that's for sure. But the girls are sweet and I am learning soo much from it. I'm thankful that I have another way to show love to God's creation. I hope that he shows me how to love them well and with new patience every single day.
When I think about the blessings that the Lord has lavished on me all I can think of is that verse in Colossians that says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights who does not change like shifting shadows." He has given me gifts that I never could have asked for. I serve a good God. Thank you.
You serve a GREAT God! Love you sweetheart!
