It's November. Thanksgiving. (Part Four)

So, as we approach Thanksgiving I begin to become more and more aware to the vast amount of blessings in my life.  You can just go back and read the few posts I've done since starting this blog and see how completely my life has changed.  I was in a dark place when I first started this blog, and for some miraculous reason unbeknownst to me God has used this blog to pull me out and teach me so many things. That, right there, is what I'm thankful for now.  I am thankful for God's bizarre style of saving us all in ways as unique as each of us are.  


It's no secret that I am a huge music freak.  I love everything about it.  I especially love how you can speak directly to a person's soul through the lyrics.  God knows this about me better than anyone.  One of the most obvious ways God speaks to me is through songs, and not just praise and worship songs.  He shows up in some of the most unexpected places all the time, and those songs speak more to my soul than "church" music does.  Most recently he popped up in a song from the Breaking Dawn Soundtrack, Requiem on Water by Imperial Mammoth.  The chorus to this song goes like this:


And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your 
Ears when all is lost in plunder 
My love will be there still.


After everything I've been through the past couple of years, even through everything where I was so mad at God and felt completely abandoned by him somewhere in the back of my mind I still felt a faint hint of His love for me, even if it was subconsciously.  It had to be there, otherwise, I wouldn't have felt the need to journal that day or even feel hurt and betrayed by all of it. 


Another thing I've noticed is when I sit back and reflect on all the blessings in my life I love how easily I can see God there working so obviously in my life.  It's so bizarre to me, God's timing in things, until of course He blows me away with another way to bless me.  I am so thankful for that.  


We truly do have an amazing God.  Take a second of your day and think of a few blessings in your life, and I guarantee you will always be able to trace it back to God. Happy Thanksgiving!!
