#30daysofThanks

Wow... It's been quite a long time since I posted. Life has been nothing short of crazy.

We are in the busiest time of the year with our farming business. The men are working long hours shelling corn, bringing in 16,000 baby hogs, hauling manure, the list goes on and on.

To top it off I am in the last trimester carrying our son and my health has been on the decline. Multiple issues are preventing me from being on my feet at all. Which means someone at all times is with me helping me take care of Brody. It has been a trying time.

Rather than allow all the negative to continue to pull me down I decided to take a different route with it. As it's November 1st I thought how fitting it would be to just cover my life in thanks. I have so much to be thankful for! Gods blessing are new every day! I don't want my focus to be on negative, but the positive of every aspect and every situation.  For example, yes the men are working long hours but our harvest has been plentiful. Yes, I feel like absolute crud but Tucker is growing right on track and is active as can be. Everything is about the view in which you see your life. God is still in control 

I will be documented this via Facebook, Twitter, Instgram, journal, and maybe blog post daily(let's be honest the blog might fail... I don't have a great track record with it) I will be using the tag #30daysofThanks

I hope you join me in this challenge. The world often pulls at us and trys to make us forget the blessings around us. 

I leave you with this verse today that has been laid on my heart. Putting all the focus on His promises!
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."2 Cor 4:17-18
