My computer has been acting up the last couple days so it was hard to post.
I did write day 28 as my facebook status and it was long, but basically talked about my family and friends.
Day 29 I gave thanks for the opportunity to sell my jewelry. It will be my first time doing so at a vendor fair, so I'm kind of excited, but nervous as well. I'm still grateful for the opportunity though and my friend would let me take his place.
Day 30 Thankful for everything and the list can go on and on. The Lord has been so good to me and I'm working on continually counting my blessings because some things I don't deserve. He loves and has so much mercy on me that I can't help but to be thankful for all He's done for me.

Day 27 of 30 Days of Thanksgiving
It's late, but I didn't want to forget to write what I'm thankful for today.
I'm really thankful for the difficult times in life that make me stronger, wiser, faithful, and trusting.
It's hard going through a trial and dealing with situations out of my control. I have to rely on the Lord and no worry. He's proven over and over again that all my needs will be met and I won't be given more than I can bear! If I keep that in mind, then each day I face becomes a little easier to endure what comes my way. I won't ignore how I'm feeling, but I will give it up to the Lord. I'm thankful for my Go, who is working in me to become the women He wants me to be!

Days 25 and 26
Alright, so I'm slacking, but don't worry I'm always counting my blessings.
Day 25: A friend of mine told me the positive impact I've had on her life so far. I had no idea, because I thought I was just talking to much. I thought we were just having girl talk, normal conversation, but she expressed how my words have really encourage and help her in different ways. So I'm thankful for being used by God. I'm just being me, not trying to gain attention or show off how much I know or anything else of the matter. I like sharing my life, what I've been through and my perspective on things. I have asked God to use me as He please in anyone's life. I shine His light through me and all I want people to see is Him in me.
Day 26: (I wrote this thankful post on Facebook)
"Praise the Lord for putting the right people in my life that are trying to help me more forward, support my work, learn more, become successful, and believe in my skills and abilities.
I don't want to take that for granted and don't want to waste anyone's time. I know that I can accomplished so much by God's power and He is going to lead me to great things someday.
Thank you Lord...thank you so much. I'm working on being more positive, more confident, and more relying on You!"

Days 22, 23, and 24
Sorry, it's the weekend so I was very busy, but I'm always thankful from something everyday.
So...
Day 22: I was thankful for my husband cooking dinner for me. It means a lot to me that he does so much for me.
Day 23: Thankful for the work I do as a freelance Graphic designer. Sometimes I don't know if I'm going to make a sale, but I do my very best and network, so I can meet those in need of a flyer, posters, invitation, etc. It feels good to help others out with their print material needs.
Day 24: Today I'm thankful for how well my church's FRANtasitc month went and that over 60 visitors came to it. We will keep each one in prayer and keep in touch, so they know we do love and care for them. We want them to know we're there for anything they may need. It was a great opportunity to reach out to those who don't know Christ, who might be looking for a church home, and/or make aware that there's a place teaching God's Word, growing, and they can come to us for the spiritual needs.

Days 20 and 21
Day 20: I was thankful for the Bible study I attend called, "Zeal Bible Ministries", lead by my brothers in Christ. It's a great time of getting into God's Word and learning so much practical application for my life. There's a wide range of ages, but mainly for those who are in college.
We are striving to grow and reach out to many others, so more of us can know Christ, be closer to Him, and serve Him faithfully. I have grown so much from being apart of this study and I even met my husband at it. Praise God!
Day 21: Today I'm thankful that God is in control. If things went my way, even with the right intentions, may not turn out as well as how God would have things to do. I love when He shows me a better outlook on life and He ways are better than mine. I can't even complain when things don't go my way because God knows better and I love how He does everything for my benefit and His glory.

Story of My Life (Day 19 of Thanksgiving)
The story of my life will have joy and sadness, good times and difficult ones too, but at the end of each chapter there's victory in Jesus. You'll see my journey from girl to woman, maturing and learning from life's experiences. The love of my life will be one of the best highlights of it. People will have come and go and very few true friends will have remained. Then other key events will have taken place and...
With God being the author of my life, I know the story will end with me being with Him. -CBT
Just thinking about how people when people look at my life I hope they really do see a sweet spirited woman, who is living for God and working hard to achieve her goals. I want to inspire, encourage, and lead by example. Of course I'm not perfect and don't have all the answers, but I can't help being empathic and wanting the best for everyone. Sometimes some don't see it that way.
My actions toward other people are not always reciprocated. They treat me...differently, but I'm used to it now. I'm different and not always understood because I don't do what everyone else does. I express how I feel and that's not always accepted. I don't always agree with them and that causes issues. So this has caused people to distant themselves from me or leave my life completely. Was I at fault at all, to some extent yes, I had my faults, but I'm all about reconciliation and sometimes that doesn't happen.
I care a lot about how people see me, but it doesn't worry me as much anymore. I'm a child of the King, always learning and getting back up when I fall down. If I am to be judge, it is to be by God's standards, not man's. Not everyone will like. Not everyone will be my friend. Although I have God, who has placed people in my life that will always love me for me.
Here's what I'm thankful for today: God being the author of my life. He is the best writer obviously, so I have nothing to worry about. However He chooses to have my life to go, I know it is for my benefit and His glory!

Day 18
Alright so today I'm thankful for God's protection. I'll never forget being robbed at gun point and thinking my life was going to end. I didn't know what to do or what was going to happen. It took some time and I'm still dealing with it, but I'm so grateful that God was/is with me. I'm here and doing well. He watches over me everyday. I'm sure there are things that could harm me that God doesn't allow to get me. I may not know why He did allow me to experience the robbery, but I did grow and learn from that situation. I grew closer to God and appreciate each day I get to live.
