Day 1000 of Praise: As I look back over the last 1000 posts of praise, more than three years in the making, I cant help but reflect on His goodness. I started with the praises because I have an Eeyore tendency. I tend to see the negatives rather than the positives. I realized this as I was cleaning the toilet so I could throw up in it 8-10 times a day as I was throwing up with Nathan growing inside of me. There was so much to learn, and there is still so much to learn. Im thankful that its the journey that teaches. The destination is sure, but the journey brings many curve balls. In learning to choose to be thankful, I dealt with postpartum, the loss of loved ones, a very sick baby, a husband who didnt know if ministry would ever be in the future, strained relationships, seminary, smoke damage, moving 5 times in the last year and a half, moving to another country and leaving all we ever knew behind, my mom going through breast cancer from a distance, being in ministry, making new friends, friends going through their hardest times, and so many joys and so many sorrows all wrapped up in those years. I cant make myself be thankful, but I can choose to start a habit. My prayer is that I am more thankful now than when I was at praise #1. That I will be more thankful by the time I get to day 2000. I am thankful to know that even though life can change in the blink of an eye, He remains unshakeable and steadfast. He has been the one constant and He will remain that. My prayer is that as I continue to learn to be thankful, it will be a challenge for all who ever read my random thoughts to take a moment and be thankful...big or small...there is always something. Praise God for these last few years and I will praise Him still.
