thankful for...

tonight:

  • my dishwasher is broken, so matt helped me wash dishes today. bless his heart.
  • then he took me out to dinner, so someone else could wash our dinner dishes.
  • my washing machine works and is humming away on a load of laundry. handwashing clothes would be much more arduous than handwashing dishes.
  • the house is quiet.


this week:

  • i managed to stuff four days of work into two days, because wednesday is a holiday for us. so, it's basically friday. (you followed that, right?)
  • a volunteer at the church who feels called to give a phenomenal amount of time in the office each week, freeing me up to focus on other ministry stuff.


overall:

  • my boss is pretty awesome. good coach and mentor. wise guy. constantly challenging me. willing to invest the time in building into me much of the skill-set i missed when i skipped traditional schooling.
  • having our own home. still getting used to the idea that we actually figured out how to buy a house.
  • matt has steady work. not a lot, but always enough.
  • making changes in my diet - the kinds of foods we eat. experimenting. feeling the difference little by little. looking forward to more results.
  • ministry work is thriving, because the church is thriving. loving being a part of seeing so many lives changed.
  • a good friend growing closer.
  • a new friend growing closer too.
  • my dad has chosen total dependance on Christ. this is the thing i am most thankful for this year.
  • our needs are always covered, even when money should be tight.
  • God is very, very good.
