God has blessed me with so many simple things this year that make me realize truly how abundant my life is.
1. I am grateful for…..my relationship with God. 2010 was a year of deep consecration – fasting, praying, breakthroughs. 2011 has been a year of living in the flow. I know I am going to be ok because I am the King’s daughter.
2. I am grateful for….my son. I never knew someone could change my life so profoundly and make me more aware of my shortcomings than a 3 year old dynomite. He makes me better (and I love watching him sleep in his little two piece button-up pjs).
3. I am grateful for…my family. Without this solid foundation I would be nothing! I realize I can’t work for the clients I work for, share Scentsy like I want to, coach the girls in volleyball like I want to, be the kind of mother I want to be, be the kind of woman I want to be without my family. My mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew, and grandma ARE my world.
4. I am grateful for….my soon to be ex-husband. Finally. I am grateful for his role in my life. Without the time he spent as a major part of my life I wouldn’t have my amazing son, I wouldn’t be the confident woman I am today, I wouldn’t be the amazing mother I am today, I wouldn’t know that with God I can overcome ANYTHING, I would still be settling for love instead of waiting patiently for the love God is preparing for me, I wouldn’t know how important forgiveness is and that if you want to be free – you must forgive. His role was so important in shaping who Niecy is today.
5. I am grateful for….my family in love. Every emotion, every trial that I have gone through these past 2 years, they have felt. I praise God that family is not defined in legal terms but simply by love.
6. I am grateful for….my friends. While I don’t have many – I have a group of friends that are solid. We don’t talk every day, every week, sometimes not even every month, but when we get back together – it’s like we never missed a day.
7. I am grateful for….love. Standing in pure love where 5 years can turn in to 1 day. No expectations, no idea of what the future will bring. Just knowing that there is love and love is all that matters.
8. I am grateful for….vision. God placed in my heart early in my career that He was calling me to be an entrepreneur. Through my businesses He has brought the most amazing people, opportunities and experiences into my life. The CommunityChange Group, LLC is my world changer, Scentsy is my abundance.
9. I am grateful for…new experiences. In 2010 I started coaching a Club volleyball team of 15 and 16 year olds. Now in my second season I realize God has given me an opportunity to work with young women which is so close to my heart, and use something I am good at, volleyball, to give them lessons in sports and life.
10. I am grateful for life. Period. When someone asks me what I do…I tell them…I live. Fully. Wholly. Abundantly.
I am grateful for you,
