Ah yes, the Sunshine State. It has treated me well thus far. Tuesday and Wednesday we had amazing shows in Palm Coast and Merritt Island, with several rings purchased and many committments made for Christ. God is Good! Amen?! :-)
Today we had a relaxing afternoon at Cocoa Beach, and now we're on our way to Orlando. Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow, but I know I just want to take lots of pictures! haha It's my first time in FL so I'm allowed, right? haha ;-)
We have 3 shows left before we head home for a while. I know I said this in my last post but I'm gonna say it again...it's hard to believe the fall 'semester' of tour is almost over. I can honestly say I felt nearly every emotion while on tour these last 3 1/2 months. But in all those emotions and situations, lessons have been learned and I can tell I've grown in many ways. And with it being Thanksgiving and all, I'm inspired to think about how thankful I am for where I'm at right now. God took me out of my miserable situation at college to bring to a place where I could listen to Him, grow in Him, and learn from Him. I never thought I would be doing anything like this at this point in my life. And when I pause and think about where I was a year ago, how I felt, and then where I am now...? Amazing. And it was all by God's hand. That very thought makes me speechless and I can only utter thanks and praise to my heavenly Father who knew what I needed better than I did...and here I am. Praise be to God the Father, the Author and Protector of our Faith.
Now I ask you, what are you thankful for? Where were you a year ago? Where are you now? What has God done for you in the last week, month, year? You might be thinking, "Anna, these questions are asked all the time, I'm tired of answering them." But when these seemingly cliche questions were asked before, did you answer with the same kind of answer? Family, friends, life, etc. Not that it's wrong to be thankful for those things, but I want to challenge you to really dig deeper than just the surface, book answers.
So I ask you again...What can you thank God for today?
God bless!! See y'all in just 11 short days :-)
What has God done for me in the last year? Hmmm... :-) I'd say he brought me the greatest blessing in Nate--so worth the years of struggle and waiting. Like you, God teaches our hearts invaluable lessons when all we have to lean on is Him. And then, at just the right moment, when I was just ready, He brought me the love of my life. A good year! LOVE YOU
