Fullness

It started last week when Kris and Jen got the call to go get their daughter in South Korea. Then this past Sunday night during worship at FSM (Fellowship Student Ministries). Then yesterday while watching the video of Kris and Jen meeting Molly Howell for the first time. My heart is full of thankfulness. Thankfulness that I am a part of something bigger than myself. God's hand and purpose has been so evident to me this week. God's bringing me back to Him every day. We talked Sunday night at FSM in small groups about how God is always there and we're the ones that drift. Like the prodigal son was welcomed back, we're welcomed back with open arms every single time. Thankfulness. I look at my relationship with Corey and I'm also thankful. I'm thankful God sent me such a good man, a thoughtful loving man. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of each year. I think we get so distracted during Christmas but during Thanksgiving most of us try to stop and remember what we're thankful for. This year I have much to be thankful for but not just on Thanksgiving.

I seriously thought Christmas was your favorite holiday. It's like I don't even know you.

Hey India! It's Heather Fetters from Jackson General . . . well, not anymore, I'm a stay at home mom right now. I was a 2nd yr student when you were a 1st yr student. I found your blog through Alesa Parks' blog. I just wanted to say hi and hope you're doing well. Congratulations on getting engaged!

I just finished One Hundred Years of Solitude, and I'm back to working on The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James...although reading my students' papers may interfere with that one for a while...
