{22 Days}

I love November.
I'm pretty sure it's one of my top favorite months - even more favorite than October.
I love how it brings us into Thanksgiving.
I love how we anticipate that first snow -- the only snow that's actually loved.
I love decorating for Christmas and the occasional before Thanksgiving Christmas song.
I love gathering with family.
I love family love.
Yes November is getting cold
and sometimes getting together with family is beyond stressful -- we all have those people.

Mostly I love the thankfulness -- the reminder of all that God has blessed us with.
Really focusing on His greatness, His mercy, His grace in my life.

I love to blog. I love to share my heart.
So it only makes sense to put these two favorites together.

It's 22 days till Thanksgiving which means 22 days of Thanksgiving. 
I will share and please if you decided to do Thanksgiving posts let me know!! I want to read them all. 
Since I am not a savvy blogger I have no idea how to do a link up -- so you'll just have to tweet me or link your website in a comment -- sorry guys!

And here it is 
Day 1:

I am THANKFUL for bible memorization.

Back ground story for today's thankfulness. I woke up in the middle of the night having a very bad dream. Immediately I knew that this dream was from Satan. Knew it. And then felt a lot scared. So I just jumped into scripture. I started quoting to myself "take every thought captive and render it unto Him" over and over and then I moved onto "whatever is pure...." over and over. I finally starting calming down.

And then this song, singing it to myself send me sweetly back to sleep

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
