Thank you, Jesus

Home. For most people that word conjures up warm and fuzzy feelings, maybe even a sense of relief. Whether home is back in your hometown with your parents, an apartment with a beyond awesome roommate (I’m biased to this one) or maybe you’re a moneybags with your own house- regardless of where that place is the bottom line is that it’s somewhere that’s comfortable to you where you don’t feel the pressure of the outside world. You can be your true self and you’re surrounded by people that know you and don’t need explanations of why you do the things you do.

Today I’m thankful to have friends that really know and understand me and how I work. I’m thankful to know that my friends won’t let my desire to pursue my dreams get in the way of our friendship. A true friend is a rare find because they are willing to let you go, sacrificing a daily relationship with you, in order to let you chase your dreams and pursue God’s will on your life. John Maxwell said something that really spoke to me: “As you seek to enlist people into the fulfillment of your vision, don’t be discouraged when people you respect can’t see what you do. And don’t be despaired if people you respect won’t take the trip with you, even if you’re inviting them to do it for their own benefit. But instead simply celebrate when people choose to join you, and keep loving those that don’t”. It’s easy to get discouraged so today I’m simply just thankful for what and who I have around me.
