Yeesh, my blog has been giving you the hardest time with comments lately! :(<br /><br />But thank you for taking the time to try again and to let me know that I'm not the only who's been in this place. It is definitely an encouragement to know that others have been here and made it through - and to be reminded that God does indeed have a plan. :) Thank you very much for your prayers!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-80225637540181456752012-08-28T13:46:09.568-06:002012-08-28T13:46:09.568-06:00Miranda,
That is a beautiful comment - thank you ...Miranda,<br /><br />That is a beautiful comment - thank you so much for sharing! I really need to be more deliberate about looking at how much I have to be thankful for in life. I think too much about the future - about how grateful I'll be when such and such books come in the mail, and when I know for sure where I'll be working, and when/if I have a boyfriend, etc. But if I would just take a moment to be grateful for the books I have, the family who supports me through everything, my friends who encourage me, the beautiful place I live - with weather that's not too cold and not too hot, and so, so much more, I would realize that I have no reason in the world to complain or be impatient. <br /><br />And even if that all were to be taken from me, God's love and grace would not, so I still would have more to be thankful for than I could ever express. It's like an example given in the devotional book Safe in the Shepherd's Arms by Max Lucado:<br /><br />"You and I could pray like the Puritan. He sat down to a meal of bread and water. He bowed his head and declared, 'All this and Jesus too?'"<br /><br />Thank you again for the important reminder of the blessings of being thankful and content! Truly a humbling experience, as you say. :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-27581814261154599412012-08-28T08:58:53.108-06:002012-08-28T08:58:53.108-06:00Oh Amber!

The gist of it was that I've been in that place of "What's next?" The Lord has a plan for you and he will reveal it in his time. Praying for direction for your "what next?"<br /><br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190011785450338206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-20159256360805369362012-08-28T04:19:28.887-06:002012-08-28T04:19:28.887-06:00Someone once said that if you started to talk abou...Someone once said that if you started to talk about something or someone in a positive way, you would grow to like them more. Until I deliberately decided to be thankful for who and where I am, I couldn't see the goodness of God as I see it now. The more thankful I am, the more the eyes of my heart are opened to see grace in abundance.<br />I guess when God asked us to be thankful, it was also for our own good.<br /><br />It's a very humbling experience.Mirandanoreply@blogger.com
