My friend Jen has been doing a series on her blog about thankfulness.  Her blog inspired me today to think about what I’m incredible blessed to have in my life.  For the past 3.5 years, one of the biggest things my husband and I have been the most thankful for is having a couple’s group to be real and raw in front of with our new marriage.  These sweet friends have helped us  grow from college graduates into a strong durable marriage founded in the grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.  Even after 3.5 years, I can still crash and burn in front of them.  These friends have seen me at my best, and these friends have seen me at my worst.  Friends like that are a gift!  They’ve all been huge instruments of grace as God has transformed and changed us over the years.   Thank you Poteats, Lonergans, Johnson’s and Jillek’s for speaking truth into our life and blessing us with your marriages!
