Ok, seriously, today I think I need to give thanks. It is one of those days where I am so discouraged from lack of sleep that dwelling on what I am thankful for will hopefully help me to trudge out of it!
I am thankful for:
1. A clean house! I have been able to (finally!) keep up a little bit with my daily house cleaning for the first time since Sadie was born.
2. Wednesday afternoons. Two of my favorite people and I get together and just talk about Jesus and what God is doing and infuse life into one another.
3. My new set of white dishes! It has been a little prayer on my heart that God just answered yesterday! A friend was giving away her old set and asked if I wanted them...I LOVE classy, white dishes :)
4. Snuggle time with Lily. It is a rare thing these days that she will actually sit still and want to cuddle...we got some time on the couch this morning under a blanket and that was awesome!
5. God's timing. It is absolutely perfect, always!
6. My incredible mother-in-law who is always praying for me and my family. Many times she will call us up to ask what is happening because she has been up praying for us all night and it is always at the time when we need it most! I am so thankful that she supports us all the way from Africa!
7. Grace! I am so thankful that even when I am discouraged, there is so much grace to live in that I can't help but get my joy fountain flowing again :)
8. The River Church. This place represents a time and season of incredible growth in my life and I am thankful for all the people in it!
9. Hot showers....what can I say? Is there absolutely anything better than a steamy bathroom and the sound of rushing water and the coziness of warm water on a chilly morning? I think not!
10. The two new jackets that my friend bought me and surprised me with! I love them! I get to be warm AND stylish :)
11. Blogging. I love it. I love writing and it is bringing out in me a creative outlet that I forgot I needed. Plus, I get to hear what is going on in each of your lives and that is way cool.
I am a completely normal woman, wife, and mother of three who is re-defining what bravery looks like.

Yo megan. I love your list. I love all that you are thankful for and I love your honest reflection of what having two small children is like... I have to tell you God stretches you and builds you as a woman and Mom in these hard sleepless times. I'll be praying for you girlfriend. :) lv u! - Jen
