home safe. feeling thankful for my freedom.

just a quick note today.

been home since friday and finally feel readjusted to mountain time. my 4th of july morning began with two flyovers by four fighter jets. to put it mildly, my heart swelled with pride within me. i am so proud to be an american. i know what a blessing this country is, what it means to the way i live my life. i am thankful to those who put their lives on the line to protect this freedom, who have given their lives for this country.

reflecting on that beautiful, rugged, desolate country that is budding with hope i am overwhelmed with thankfulness. for the opportunity to return. for my country...for freedom of speech. for freedom of religion. for freedom as a woman.

thank you, Father, for your many blessings. i lay them back at Your feet. i worship you alone.
