Introducing: ThankfulThursday

[source] A while ago I kept a gratitude journal, which I stopped. I don't even exactly know why I did anyways, How did it work? I would just make a list of the things I am thankful for per day - as much as my small journal could take. I found on here recently and how she did the weekly "Thankful Thursday" and I felt it was about time I revived the attitude of giving thanks.  This is what I am thankful for this week 1.

"I may not get what/be where i want - yet - but I am sure I want to be yours" ~ Tomilola [May 2013] [source] One of the questions I've heard the most in the last months is "Why did you cut your hair again?" since my reason is in line with what the title of the post decided to share.

Lights and Shadows 1

"When God is ready to unearth your excesses, he leaves no shadow unlit" ~ Tomilola We serve a God of light, why should there be any darkness in us? I can't say my soul is 100% light now, but I am being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in me* will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ [Philippians 1:6 *Text altered] When we do realise that this journey to perfection is not ours to "struggle" through, we have...
