A Day of Thanksgiving

On this beautiful Thanksgiving Day I feel overwhelmed with appreciation for The One who has provided for my every need. Two and half years ago I moved to Birmingham searching for more. After graduating and living in a state of depression for over a year He brought me to the Magic City and has slowly changed my life by strategically placing people to be an encouragement in my walk and, simply, a friend. I am reminded of the words in one of my favorite NEEDTOBREATHE songs, “The years go by like stones under rushing water. We only know, we only know when it’s gone.” Looking back on the last few years gives me a greater appreciation and understanding for who God is and how He works. I may not always understand it, but I don’t have to. I only need to trust it. Thank you, LORD, for “lifting me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; setting my feet on a rock and giving me a firm place to stand.” (Psalm 40:2) On this day of Thanksgiving that is what I am most thankful for.
