I am thankful for the experiences I get to go through with the people I meet in my life.

I believe that everyone I have met were blessings sent from God whether to teach me a lesson, to offer comfort, or even to challenge me. Whatever that reason may be, I believe with all of my heart that there is always a reason for why I have met the people that come into my life and in some cases, out of my life.

Each person that I have met has given me a new story, a new lesson, or even a new perspective and I also believe that they’ve shaped me into the person I am today. These experiences have also taught me that God’s plan is often shown through the lives of others and sends us exactly who we need and when we need them even if they hurt us in the end. Something I have come to realize is that not everyone who comes into our lives has good intentions with us. Sometimes we are hurt by the people we love the most–but they still teach us valuable lessons and shape us into the people we become and it is really important and up to ourselves to learn how to build from those types of experiences or people. 

Looking back at every season of my life, including difficult moments, I realize that everyone I meet is a purposeful gift that God uses to shape the person that I am. These beliefs fill me with immense appreciation and show that everyone has great meaning. For these reasons, I am truly so thankful.
