I’m thankful.

This has been the first year of my life where it doesn’t feel like I’m chasing something. I no longer feel like my days are attached to a restless longing inside of me. By the grace of God, I’ve received a glimpse of something I’ve been seeking my entire life... Stability.

It’s not something that remains every day. There is still a fire inside me and a passion burning for further greatness. But my mind feels free, my environment feels healthy, and my thoughts are no longer held captive by “I will be happy when this happens" scenarios I used to constantly daydream about.

I’m thankful, I’m Peachy King!!! Thanks Katherine. (She randomly called me this as I was writing this blog and it totally fit the vibe)

It’s ironic, when you start to feel stability you start to feel shit you buried for years rise up to the surface. Excuse my french, but stuff didn’t hold that word-weight for you to relate. Nevertheless, I’m thankful this stability has led me to deal with the past issues I’ve buried deep down while I was trying to survive another day in order to obtain this long-sought feeling of peace and stability.

I’m thankful for the journey, I’m thankful for all the souls who have supported me, and I’m thankful for all God has done to get me here. Dealing with the dirt isn’t what I’d call “desirable.” Opening up wounds is painfully needed for true healing. Turning that “Joy for the Lord” into an everyday smile takes work. But because I am thankful, that’s the reason I am willing.

God has brought me here and has even bigger plans going forward. I shall not want more, He has given me more than enough. He has called me to Kingdom work and I still owe Him my life. This next year will be one for the ages, both personally and professionally.
