31 Blessings

What a super fun day it has been!

What a super fun year it has been!!

As I received calls, texts, & Facebook messages this morning from people who are so precious to me, I was so very humbled to think about this favored life I live. I'm incredibly thankful, so for my birthday, I wanted to make a list of 31 things that have blessed my life! (If you haven't caught on, I'm 31 today!)

1. My Savior

2. Salvation & the ability to have a relationship with Abba Father

3. I got to marry my favoritest man & do life with him.

4. My boys. They are the coolest kids & they teach me so much everyday.

5. My family. They're my favorites.

6. My calling.

7. The Body of Christ. I've been blessed to do life with some great people in our present church & in our past churches. I'm thankful for the relationships that can overcome long distance. 

8. My Church Family. You all know our journey b/c I've documented everything on here. But I am in awe of where we are nearly a year from our move. God has amazed me in how He has given me the desires of my heart. One of my (many) verses for the year is Ephesians 3:20 "Now glory to Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us."

9. To have been loved well. I just feel really blessed to have some wonderful people in my life who have made me feel so special & loved.

10. Prayer Partners/Friends & getting to go to the throne with them!

11. Koinonia Friends

12. The Bible. For far too long I took that gift for granted. I'm thankful to have fallen in love with the written word of God. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bz0zIFhvko (Yeah...crazy convicting.)

13. Friends & mentors who help me know the Lord more.

14. Staying at home with my boys.

15. My Women's Ministry friends.

16. My Sunday School class.

17. Church Staff friends that are a joy to know & work with.

18. Being in the ministry.

19. The conviction & the drawing of the Holy Spirit.

20. Worship.

21. Bible Study mentors like - Beth Moore & Kelly Minter. ;)

22. Lunch Dates/Coffee Dates with friends.

23. My home.

24. Social Media - for the most part is a blessing to me. It's an easy way to keep in touch with long distance family & friends & it's a great way to get to know new friends when you're the "new kid".

25. Group texts with my koinonia friends.

26. All my needs are met & way too many of my wants.

27. Chick Flicks.

28. Skirts.
