thankful FIVE on Friday

ONE | family
I am thankful that I have a loving family who lives close to me (or with me, ha!).

TWO | friends
Post college, it is definitely more difficult to make friends.  However, as time goes by, I learn more about how to be a friend and what kind of friends I need.  I am so thankful for the friends who have stuck by me through everything, especially changes in our life stages over the past few years.  (I'm singing "you find out who your friends are" in my mind.)

THREE | faith
I can't imagine going through life without faith.  Things are rough in this fallen world, but it is not my home.  No matter what's going on, I know that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

FOUR | education and career
I'm thankful that I got a great education at ECU which helped me get the best job for me right out of school.

FIVE | weekends
Although I am thankful for my job, it makes me even more thankful for weekends.  Work > graduate school.

What are you thankful for?
