Agape

This week is Thanksgiving

This time last year I had gotten in a fist fight with my mom, the police were called and I moved out for a couple days. I had come back home, still been angry, still hurting, and didn't have much I thought I was thankful for.

A lot has changed in a year.

I have finally overcome, moved on, forgiven, trusted, and accepted. Not only did I finish community college on the deans list and started at a university, but I also became a cheerleader and made friends. On top of getting a car, having real friends, good grades, and my life back to normal; I've started to understand what real agape love is.

I am still learning, still figuring things out, still trying but, I have hope.

I am thankful for so much. Most importantly for God making me who I am today and loving me through everything I have been through. I am nothing without him and will be nothing without him.

My challenge to you: As thanksgiving rolls around and everyone sits at the table saying what they are thankful for, think of what you are most thankful for not just getting a video game or having time off school, but what you're really thankful for and appreciate of.
