Thankful for Absolutely Everything

Dear readers, 

Today is obviously Thanksgiving, and I’m sure you can already guess what the general theme of today’s letter will be.

Guys, I kid you not, before this week even began I have been thinking a lot on what God has given me, what He’s done for me, and everything in between. 

I know if I told God’s given you everything you’ve ever had you’d probably shrug it off and say, “Yeah I know.” 

But when you really stop to think about what God’s done in your life, you can’t just shrug it off. All the different ways that God blesses us and provides for us on a daily basis it is ridiculous. He does so much. 

He does absolutely everything. 

Everything that happens on this earth is crafted and put together in His perfect hands. Nothing happens without Him knowing the immediate outcome before the world even came to be. 

Just to give you a snapshot of what I am so thankful for I’m going to capture my past year looking back on what God has done for me, the good, the bad, and the very ugly. 

Come along with me.

To start out I began Infinite Ideas! A small videography company that traveled around helping faith driven organizations tell their redemptive stories. 

Soon after that the Redemptive Marketing Collective was born. The amount of faithful marketers that I connected with was so humbling, and watching their heart to serve has been such an encouragement to my own heart. 

I became a member of Harmony church, and I have hit such a sweet spot of serving and sitting under gospel saturated teaching. 

Some massive trials hit me this year, I cannot deny that one bit. But looking back I can see how these trials refined me more and more into the man God has been calling me to be all along. 

I hit a bunch of financial troubles. My family continues to be used for target practice by the unseen enemy. Oh and the crippling fear of anxiety and doubt whenever life doesn't seem to be going my way. 

Yet. God still showed up every step of the way. He took me by the hand and led me to be exactly where He knew I needed to be all along. 

God has provided me with absolutely everything I have needed this year. I know He has in years past, but this year I noticed it the most. 

He always gave me a place to sleep. 

He always brought food for me to eat.

He paved a way for me to travel around. 

He always shows up when I need to talk to Him. 

God has had people give me things they don’t need, gas money between places, a box of donuts for the road, pizza money.  He really does bless His children. 

Today as you celebrate. Really take about 7 minutes or so, look at all that God has given you and allowed to happen. You really do start to see His handiwork in absolutely everything. 

Until next time, 

-Mitchell
