Dress & Scarf: Old Navy Shoes: Target
When I sat down tonight to write this post at first I thought of multiple things that seem hard in my life right now - the recent news of Chris' grandpa's poor health, the continual wait to get pregnant, situations at my job, the small amount of time Chris and I seem to be able to spend together lately . . . .
I feel like I could be justified to complain and be sad about a handful of things today, but I also know that there are so many good things in my life and that I often forget how lucky and blessed I am.
Tonight I am thankful for:
1. A job that is so close to my house.
2. A husband that I love and miss when I don't get enough time with him.
3. Warm weather today and the happiness of spring and then summer around the corner.
4. A God that uses trials to bring us closer to Him and closer to each other.
And who promises to work for the good of those who love Him.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
5. Videos like this to feel loved by my family:

What a lovely post! Isn't it nice to take time out to remember the little things we have in our lives, the things that make everything worthwhile and the hard things not-so-hard? :-) xxx
Sorry things havent been great, but you do have the right attitude to find the positives!
So glad you were able to turn things around as see the positive. Stopping by from Kate Says Stuff, fairy wishes and butterfly kisses to you
lovethe green!
i normally wouldn't do this except you recently asked your readers to point out typos...i believe you meant "trials" instead of "trails". still, even read as "a God that uses trails to bring us closer to him..." is certainly true. he uses long bumpy trails which show us our need of Him. thankfully, sometimes he uses trails lined with flowers just to show us His loveliness, too!
i'm always appreciative of your honesty :)
love this. way to turn your situations into good. :)
Beautiful post, and your dress is so cute! I would like one like that I think ;)
