Thankful

I am thankful for many things these days....

The past couple of weeks, I have made some amazing progress in my life in my steps towards "getting out of the pit". Last week I started my new job at the insurance agency. I really like my job and have made some great progress on learning the logistics and practices of the office and am excited to get settled into a routine. Now when I wake up in the morning, I no longer dread the day, I am excited for what lies ahead now that I have a purpose of getting up. The people I work with are wonderful to me and we seem to be getting along well and having a good time. I am so thankful for my new job.

I just started going to a new church called Perimeter Church. This church is astronimcal in size and can intimidate you when you first get there. However, with any large church the rule of thumb is you must get involved in a smaller group such as Sunday School, Discipleship training, etc. I, however, have found a great community in that church called the Genesis class. This group is a support/recovery group for the seperated/divorced. This morning was my second time meeting with this group. I have finally found a church that is just that A Church! The first time I went to this class, I felt so welcomed and not like an outsider. These people really reached out to me and made me feel like we have known each other for quite some time. It is so great to finally be around a bunch of people who know exactly what I am going through, feeling, struggling with. For the first time in my adult life, my week is spent looking forward to going back to church. I am so thankful for the Genesis class and for Peremiter Church.

Currently, I am staying with my sister and her family as I have previously mentioned. My sister has been so amazing to me and I truly believe, if it wasn't for her love and support, I would not be here today. She is not only my sister but she is a very dear friend to me and I appreciate her so much. I am so thankful for my sister and her family.

So that's the update from my world. Needless to say, I am finally filled with joy and peace in my life. I still have a long way to go, but now I have the tools to help me get there.
