So true! I hadn't even thou...Thank YOU, Emily!<br /><br />So true! I hadn't even thought of it quite in that light. We can get so caught up in our plans and goals that we pass over the beauty right in front of us, never thinking that what God has in mind is even MORE than what we're reaching for. Love that!<br /><br />P.S. 'Twas my pleasure. And I love comments no matter when they come. :) Hope you enjoy the story!Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-56039490472395294512016-02-02T15:34:14.690-06:002016-02-02T15:34:14.690-06:00That was lovely; thank you!

We all have so many ideals of beauty in our heads -- goals, events, people, scenarios -- and I find it hard to remember that God isn't a genie to fulfil my wishes and dreams. Instead, he is "him who is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine". There will be UNEXPECTED BEAUTY. So thanks for reminding me of that, Tracey.<br /><br />PS Thank you so much for linking up with Starting Sparks! As you can tell, I'm very behind on my blog reading (hence this comment is a month late) but will read your story ASAP!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-27316276141337179922016-01-16T09:44:50.542-06:002016-01-16T09:44:50.542-06:00I'm so, so glad you find encouragement here. &...I'm so, so glad you find encouragement here. <3<br /><br />The blank book analogy is perfect!

I like reflecting back and seeing if I met my goals. Because it's also a visual representation of growth, too, right?!

It seemed so big and momentous (which it was), but my youth leader reminded me that in a way, we all 'graduate' every day. Every morning it's a new start; the beginning of the rest of our lives. <br /><br />We can definitely spur each other on toward more thankfulness. :) I need that reminder so often. Maybe we all do.<br /><br />Yes!

And I think I needed that reminder that every DAY is a fresh start, not just every year. God is endlessly merciful.<br /><br />This was so encouraging. Things I need to remember! Especially to give thanks every new day. Your words are always beautiful and make me think deeply about the good things.<br /><br />Let's make this year a good one!Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-37754371722003723072016-01-03T14:30:21.614-06:002016-01-03T14:30:21.614-06:00<3 I'm glad!<3 I'm glad!Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620960568844915525.post-55092318678365154512016-01-03T14:13:21.702-06:002016-01-03T14:13:21.702-06:00This was quite inspiring.
