Thankful!

If I have learned anything from being away from my home, is that I should be so much more thankful than I really am!  I really miss my close friends and family back home, and they have done so much for me!

Specifically Jordan: Jordan has been so amazing through this whole thing.  I keep hearing how tough it is to have a long distance relationship, but Jordan and I are doing so great!  Its been such a blessing to get a word of encouragement from her daily, and it is so noticeable how much more she has gotten into the Word.  This being away thing has been the best thing for us.  Its taught me personally, how to be a lot more thankful than I ever was.  I never recognized how much of a servant's heart she had, until I left.  She is willing to do so much for the body of believers, and its such an encouragement to me.  Although I have been a believer longer than her, she continues to teach me so much every day.  This also has created both of us to seek God even more through this trial.  Trials are always used by God for our good, and I can definitely see that evident in our relationship.  We have both grown individually with God through this, as well as a relationship.  Our prayer's every night has really been a huge factor in keeping me positive in this entire experience.
She is so awesome!!! I am very very lucky :)
