Thanksgiving 2015

Yesterday, we got together with the other two Swedish-American couples from our church and had this years thanksgiving feast. Yes I realize that means I've only made ONE blogpost since last year... Haha blogging is not one of my strengths.

Anyways, this year I feel thankful in many different ways. We've had a wonderful but also very rough year. Thankfully these past few weeks God has reminded me of His faithfulness which calms my sometimes very torn heart. We are getting more and more convinced that we're not supposed to stay in Sweden. I often feel scared about leaving my home for real but Gods promises for us and the hope we have in Him makes me remember what I believe His calling is for our lives. And with that, doing anything else seems crazy.
I know our future is in His hands and boy am I thankful for that! No matter what happens I KNOW He only wants the best for us.


I am thankful for our now 1,5 year old little sillyputt. Chloe is growing so fast and has turned into a very stubborn, caring, mischievous, happy, adventurous, silly, beautiful, messy and completely wonderful little girl. She amazes me every day in different ways.

Not only is she running around, she has realized how fun it is to hide from people. As soon as she hears someone walk up the stairs or knock on the door she rushes to find a good hiding spot and whispers "hide, hide!!" to herself.
She loves her stuffed animals and puts them down for a nap at least once a day. They get put in a line and as she covers them with a blanket she says "na na" (night night).

We are trying to prepare her for our second baby that's due in about 2,5 weeks. Everytime i tell her there's a baby in my belly she lifts up my shirt and tries to see for herself. She loves her book about becoming a big sister and loves caring for her baby doll.

She is happy and healthy and loves building pine cone piles and dancing in the kitchen. I am thankful for every little inch of her.



I am thankful for our next baby. I am thankful for the pregnancy almost being over. I am thankful for my amazing husband. I am thankful for Christmas coming soon. I am thankful for family. I am thankful for prayers. I am thankful for candles helping dark days don't seem so bad. I am thankful for Chloe attacking me right now wanting me to get off the computer.

I am filled with joy and thankfulness. My heart is full. Thank you Jesus.
