Thankfulness in a year's timing

Today is a special day. It is the one year anniversary since God changed my life dramatically! I got to meet my best friend, and boyfriend now. I fell in love with a culture that is so full of hope, joy, and love, even in the midst of some pretty hard circumstances. Honduras is built up with the love of God. They've had problems with their government leaders in the past. They have problems with troubled youths, they suffered a fire that killed hundreds of troubled, yet God-created people with souls. Yet I have watched a church and a community stand up with the power of God and take charge of their lives in a sense. They don't have control over everything, but they have been given certain abilities to help raise up a generation who loves God and is seeking the best for their nation. It is incredible. The perseverance of two people has astounded me. Peter Hearne jr. and his new wife Katherine. Wow. If you want an example of two young people throwing their lives entirely into God's hands and towards His will, look at Kathy and Peter. Their lives are not about them. Their lives make me want to get up and do something. Something that God has uniquely planned for me. God took a depressed, anxiety stricken person and He raised her up fearless. Me. He gave me courage to do what I had never done before. He gave me wisdom to learn to wait patiently for His timing. He gave me unconditional love to share with those around me. He gave me so many gifts I didn't deserve. And He gave me one of the most beautiful people I have EVER met, for a best friend. Jonathan. He is modest, not prideful, he is wise beyond many guys his age. He loves me even when I am tired, sweaty, and pitiful. He sees the good in me even when I don't. He pours himself into schoolwork and working to get an education and provide for himself. He listens to God speaking into his heart. and Jonathan acts. Jonathan is not perfect. But he is special. A very special gift that I can never take for granted. I pray I NEVER will. I hope that I know him for much longer than 1 year. But this year has been an amazing gift. Thank YOU YESHUA!!! I LOVE YOU AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO NEXT
