Soul Food…My Walk with God
It's the first Sunday in 2014 and I have so much to be thankful for.
This year got off to a rocky start even though we are only FIVE days into it. I'm DETERMINDED to be thankful, have a heart of gratitude and trust God no matter what.
The tears my fall, I may get a little overwhelmed but I am going to continue to trust God.
I was thinking about what I'm MOST thankful for. Looking back over 2013 I have a LOT I can be thankful for but I'm MOST thankful that we found out what was going on with Kayla. She had surgery to correct the issue and is now doing SO much better.
I had emergency surgery last year and yes I'm thankful that all went well, but my childs life and health are so much more important to me than my own. I'd give anything to make sure that all of my children are healthy and safe. It's the momma in me.
I was introduced to Heather not long ago and her story is one that is truly remarkable. She was given 15 months to live. Y'all have GOT to read about it. I was amazed. You can click HERE to read it.
Stories like these kinda change your outlook. Well, let me say her story changed MY outlook.
It falls in line with where I am right now. Trusting God no matter what, being thankful and having a heart of gratitude.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 – In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Psalms 107:1 – O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
Philippians 4:6 – Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Colossians 3:15 – And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Colossians 4:2 – Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Do you have ONE thing you are thankful for that you can look on now that we are in a new year? Talk to y'all in the comments!
I'm not perfect, just striving to be the woman God wants me to be. Keeping my life lined up with the WORD and Trusting Him every step of the way.

This is a great post (I clicked on that link about Heather too, by the way).
one thing I would have say I am thankful for is God’s ability to keep me focused. Although 2013 was a great year with everything that happened to me, it was also a rough year in some aspects. There were things that happened that I haven’t shared with a soul but through God and his teachings about keeping your eyes on him and the power of prayer, I made it. WE made it.

Sometimes you HAVE to only share with God. He knows how to fix it 🙂

I am thankful for mercy – that I can give it and that I can receive it. What a wonderful post! There is so much power in being thankful.

I am thankful that when I did not know where my daughter was I prayed and trusted God that all would be well. All is well thank the Lord.

Provision – Last year started off with what seemed like a rocky start, but it wasn’t really rocky it was just apart of the life plan leading me to my purpose. But when I look back at the first quarter of last year and not knowing IF or HOW I would provide for both my boys solo and looking back and seeing how God provided and continues to provide for us. I’m just thankful.
