BIG Thank You

So yesterday was my grad party and sadly it caused a lot of chaos before the event itself. But I was so thankful for how well it went yesterday! So many people were there and it was great to be surrounded by such a great support group. A lot of the people I've known since I was a baby, or I've known throughout high school. Family, friends, my church family....I couldn't help but to feel blessed.

Talk about blessings, these people give....and give....and give some more. I guess I've done my share of complaining, be it about finances, or family, or stress. But I really have so much to be thankful for. I was talking with a friend the other day, and she reminded me that no matter what, God has plans for me to prosper. He doesn't want to harm me. And whether or not God's will for me was to live on campus and quite possibly face a great deal of debt, He will use me where I am.

I really don't have much left to say. I just had to blog about how blessed I felt today as I opened cards and gifts. So blessed that I was overwhelmed by emotion and couldn't contain it. I've never been a huge giver myself. I've always desired to give, but felt like I really had no money or creative abilities to make some 'stellar scrapbooked card.' So here I am, opening these cards and people are giving! People that I love and care about, and some that I can guarantee I've hurt in the past. So this is my blog's way of thanking you. I am working on two pages worth of thank you cards. If anything, I hope to encourage these people and show how much I truly appreciate and am thankful for all they've done and given me. It may not be a cute little fancy card, but I'm hoping my writing and colorful markers make up for that :)

Thank you Lord for blessing me with so many great people in my life!
