My List of Thanks
















Happy Thursday everyone :) I'm grateful that today is today!

1. I am grateful for my quiet, small life. I love being a stay-at-home mom! I didn't think I would ever do it, but I am more content in my life right now than I have ever been before.
2. I am grateful for my best friend, whom I laugh with daily, cry with, tease, and share who I really am with: my husband, Benjie.
3. I am thankful for the small revelations that I receive each day from Jesus, teaching me more and more about how good he is!
4. I am thankful for my two great and wonderful friends: Kristin and Nicole. You guys make me laugh and I love sharing life and fun times with you guys and your kids and your husbands!
5. I am thankful for my mom; she is the mom that Papa gave to me as a gift to raise me and teach me about this world!
6. I am thankful for my computer, which allows me to keep in contact with many of my friends all over the world and right here in Durango.
7. I am grateful for you, Jesus; YOU are what it is all about; YOU are my joy, my peace, my fulfillment; YOU make my life worth living!
8. I am grateful for music. It awakens my imagination and brings color to my life.
9. I am thankful for every new piece of me that I am discovering as Jesus helps me define it.
10. I am thankful that Papa is so vast and large and wonderful and thrilling that I cannot in my wildest imagination even think about grasping him in his fullness, and that the closer I get to him the more I feel that I don't know him at all :)

I love reading these!! I am so thankful for you, too...and your whole family. Your friendship is one of the sweetest gifts God has given me out of my time in Durango. Sorry about lunch today...let's see if we can find a time next week to get together with Nicole at someone's house and do a starbucks playdate, even if we don't go walking. I missed you gals this week! Working out together is fun...but just doesn't quite satisfy my need for girl time : )

I would love to be grateful for #1 and #2... so badly I could cry. However, I do my best to count my grateful's and try and keep my focus on #7! I suppose someday I will be that much more grateful because of the wait!
