Day 5

Today I am thankful for family.  I lost my grandmother two months ago, and watching my family draw close and lean on each other in order to get through this has been amazing.  Who are you thankful for today?

Day 4

This literally happened to me five minutes ago.   Talk about a blessing from God to brighten up my day!  I'm always thankful for extra cash :)

Day 3

I am grateful for clean water. It's easy to take for granted clean, running water that's available to us every single day!

Day 2

Well, I accidentally skipped a day...  I feel very disappointed with myself haha.  Oh well!  So today is Day 2 instead of 3 of my Thankfulness Challenge, and I am thankful for BACON. My dinner salad turned into a game of "eat the lettuce to find the yummy bacon chunks!"  It was great.  Yay bacon.

 

Day 1

I am thankful for FALL WEATHER!  I'm excited for boots and scarves, coffee on cold, gray days and Christmas shopping :)

Dream Big

I found an old journal on my shelf tonight.  I used to scribble in it when spending time with God. There were entries as old as ten years, and I was shocked by the fearless words of a younger me.  There were letters written to God expressing devotion and trust and excitement about His plans for my life.  There were also drawings on every page, a hobby of mine that has recently fallen to the wayside.  I realized it's time to get passionate about the things I love again. 

What's something or someone you love that you haven't been making time for?  What killed your creativity or your passion?  It's time to find it again.  Go after your dreams courageously!


P.S. I have put off starting this blog over and over because I was afraid of not doing it the perfect way.  My wise mother reminded me that waiting for perfection is silly considering there's no perfect human being.  Don't be afraid of imperfection.  JUST DON'T BE AFRAID.  Don't let anything or anyone stop you from pursuing what's in your heart.  Don't hesitate; just go for it. 

Love,
Rachel
