I am thankful for opportunities to do something that has never been done before even though it nearly killed me. I am thankful for miracles big and small that I've witnessed and experienced. I am thankful that God decided when I was done.
I am thankful for times when I had no where to turn but God. I am thankful for times that even when it didn't feel that God was present in my life, yet He still was there.
I am thankful to have learnt in a year that I could surrender to "whatever Lord". That "whatever" is a place of true surrender and true freedom. That I had learnt about moments where I am thankful that even though it seemed as if God was not providing what I needed, He did. That even in those times when there was not food for petrol, or debit orders bounced for the first time in 15 years, God knew what I needed - and that the world would not come to an end and that humbling myself in explaining my circumstances to someone would not kill me.
I am grateful for friends and family that held up my hands, kept me in their prayers, comforted my tears, walked beside me when words failed and shared in my moments of joy and elation.
I am thankful for 2010 - the good and the bad, the easy and the tough, the moments of elation and moments of devastation. I am thankful for that which is past, and thankful that the future is also in His hands.
I want to live a life of gratitude, because I have so much not having deserved any of it. I want to thank the God of enough. It has been a good good year.
