21 Days of Gratitude- (Day 5: Forever Changed)

Today I am thankful for 2 major things. Things that have changed my life entirely. I wouldnt be the same without them.

I am thankful for the people who showed me who Jesus is. I am forever grateful for those who demonstrated to me what a relationship with him looks like. Just to name a few..

The DeTurks & Greens- You loved me from the beginning. Showed me that faith is tangible if you believe. You invested in me when I was a child & because of that I've had a foundation to fall back on years later.
The Swansons- You showed me grace and walked with me even when I wandered off at a young age. You showed me that Gods love isn't conditional. 
My Parents- You reminded me that we are all in this together. That a relationship with Christ is a Daily Journey.
My Girlfriends- You pushed me to keep searching when I couldn't find answers & encouraged me to not only dream but allow those dreams to become reality.
my YWAM family- I am forever in debt to you. You all invested so much into my walk with Christ. You helped me go from a VERY rocky start to a more stable, open & honest relationship with my Savior. 

 The second thing that I am thankful for is:

 All the lessons I've learned along the way. My life is forever transformed because of these things. 
Commitment.
Obedience.
Honesty.
Respect.
Self-Control.
Love.
Patience.

 And the list goes on. 

Goodbye ungratefulness, hello gratitude.
Be blessed- Briana.

So we are getting closer and closer to being settled at the new place, but lets be real.. we have so far to go. My main goal is to try and do dishes, laundry & keep us fed. Unpacking will come in due time. I have a handful of things i want to share with you so lets get to it! 1. I finally got Axels Cloth diapers! I bought them here.  They are bamboo flats & I am using bummis covers as of now! They are working pretty well. the flat is very basic. literally just a large piece of organic cotton/bamboo. I have tried 3 different ways to fold and not quite sure which i like best yet.  Trifold - Newspaper fold- Origami fold. I think I'm going to stick with Newspaper for now. If you're interested in this there are plenty of youtube videos to check out! Cloth diapering is a huge money saver! We have already spent more on disposables in the first 2 months than we did on our cloth diaper supply! On top of that, disposables create so much waste! It is estimated that in the Uni...

I'm Still Learning..

Image
In case you are wondering.. I am still learning.  When we make a choice to do something, to love someone, to take on a new adventure, to commit to a new job or to become a parent, we are learning . It seems nearly impossible to live life's experiences and not be absorbing something at some point.  Moving to Costa Rica has not looked like I thought it would. Not at all really. In some ways that's good and in some ways its been hard. It seems that in every circumstance I am confronted with, God reminds me that this is a learning experience , an opportunity to grow.  I have a lot of thoughts running through my head and not a lot of words being typed out. All in all I am thankful that although sometimes my plans don't look like Gods plans, I am happy knowing I am in good hands.  This is short but i wanted to just share a few thoughts and a few photos.  Lots of Love, Briana
