As we celebrate the Thanksgivings season it's important for us to reflect and really count our blessings. The Lord has done so much for my family this year and it's not something I take lightly. I'm grateful for the new addition to my family with the birth of our beautiful daughter, she is such a blessing and a reflection of Gods favor.  I'm also grateful for the trials and tribulations I've endured because in each set back I've found that it can be a setup for a great comeback.                        

As I reflect on the blessings upon my life I realize that having a steadfast heart and depending on the Lord has been the element that has gotten me to this point and the key words that were constantly at play are trust, belief and faith.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Having faith means completely trusting that God knows your heart desires and He will surly provide it even though you have no idea of how it will be done. I believe that God rewards those who seek him and those who wait upon Him will have their strength renewed (Isaiah 40:31).

Here's to a faithful God and the faith that there will be a greater testimony in the coming year. 

Happy Thanksgivings from my family to yours!
