Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday!

Today,

I am thankful for new relationships!

Loneliness has been a word I've used often since moving.

I've really been struggling...hard.

Before I even moved, 

I spent a great deal of time praying that the Lord would provide great community,

that He would bring new people into my life.

People who could be great friends,

who I could learn and grow from from.

I knew it wasn't going to be easy,

especially given my shy nature and the fact that 

I was leaving behind a solid community of people I love so deeply.

But, I knew I had to give it to God.

I had trust that He had great plans in store.

It hit me this past week just how much

God has been blessing me in this area.

Abundantly.

I have meet some truly wonderful people.

They have willingly taken me in and let me be a part of their lives,

and for that I am so thankful.

As I get to spend more time with them,

 I get to see just how crafty the Lord is.

And just how perfect His plan is.

I am learning

and I am being challenged.

But, I am so thankful for the blessings that are coming out of it...

these new relationships.

I can't wait to see what's in store!

What are you thankful for today?
