Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I thought for today's post I would try my best to keep it short and sweet and share some of the things I'm most thankful for this year! God has been so good to us this year and I can't help but tell of His goodness. 

I'm so thankful for God's guidance and provision. This past year we had different opportunities for Blake to take different ministry positions and we just kept telling God no. (Never a good idea haha) We just didn't ever feel like the timing was right, we had all of our family here and we were comfortable. There was one position that kept being persistent in being brought up to us. We really prayed about it and both put our selfish desires behind us and decided to follow where God was leading us. Moving to Austin has been one of the best decisions Blake and I have ever made. God has blessed us so much since our move and we could not be more thankful. God's plans are so much greater than anything we could've imagined up for ourselves. 

We are also very thankful for that guy that would not stop calling us and asking us to move to Austin. God used him in a huge way in our lives and is continuing to do so. We love you, Reid :)

One thing we are also so very thankful for this year is our little turkey that will be here SO soon! Blake and I decided at the beginning of the year to start trying to have a baby. The Lord blessed us with a little (big) blessing and our sweet Judah will be here at the end of December and we can't wait to meet him! 

Another thing we are so thankful for is our family and friends. Our families have been so supportive of us this year in every decision we have made. They were all were thrilled we we announced that we were expecting a little baby, and were sad, but proud of us when we told them about us moving to Austin. Same goes for our wonderful friends! Judah is already so blessed by all his grandparents and great grandparents, aunts and uncles, the list could go on! We couldn't have gone through these huge life changes without them. They are all such blessings in our lives and we are so thankful for them and love them SO much!

We are also thankful for our new friends that have become like family, and our new church family. They have all welcomed us with open arms and have been such blessings to us. I know this brings me to tears (Blake too, shhh! Haha) Moving to a city where you know no one is scary, and these people have made the transition so easy for us! Every time we leave the church or leave from hanging out with them our hearts are overwhelmed with thankfulness for them! We love you all :)

I'm so thankful that The Lord blessed me with the most loving, selfless, and kind hearted husband in the whole world. He loves me unconditionally and leads our family so well. I'm so blessed to be able to go through this crazy life with him by my side. I can't wait to grow old with him :) (because I know he will read this, love you B!!) 

Most of all, like every year, we are most thankful for our Savior, Jesus Christ and for Him laying down His life for us. Knowing we would fail Him, He still gave up His life so we could have eternal life with our Savior. Don't forget to give thanks to the One who created it all, who is in all, and rules over all. 

We are so very thankful and we wish you and your family and very Happy Thanksgiving!
