Thankful Thursday (on Friday)

It's been a long while since I posted a Thankful Thursday post. And even longer since I posted a Thankful Thursday post on Friday ;)

So here's what I'm thankful for this week:

1. God's goodness and confirmation of just how much I am growing/have grown. It is so encouraging to be able to see that confirmed in your life!! I am becoming who I want to be! Yay!

2. The situation that I am in here in YWAM L.A. I am a full-time mom and a part-time DTS staff, and I am learning that influence doesn't always come from being front and center. It is awesome to be able to disciple young people and still remain devoted to full-time discipling the two most important young people in my life: Lily and Sadie.

3. My husband. He always takes things to God and sorts out things in his own heart with the Lord. I am thankful to have a man who always chooses growth over bitterness, fear, or resentment!

4. The great people that are here in our community. I have met so many young people and have been so blessed and full of joy to be surrounded by them in my home.

5. Lily and Sadie. They teach me so much about innocence and fun and joy. They are such a gift from God.

6. My little house. We got to paint it and make it our own, and I couldn't love it more!

7. Rest. It is oh so lovely!!

8. The four girls that I am discipling. The two beautiful Germans: Angelina and Verena. And the two beautiful Americans: Liz and Kate. Each of them are incredible and hungry and brave and lovely. I love meeting with them as a small group and as individuals every week. They have made settling back into DTS lifestyle so enjoyable!
