I am thankful for Dad- faithful protector/provider, and Mom- mentor/teacher, and more!
I am so thankful for my sis. She's been a faithful best friend. She is a diligent, daring animal lover and darling. She is a trustworthy confidante, fellow goofball;), and a great inspiration.
I'm so thankful God gave me my lil sis ;D
This week, my cousins returned from the Mission field. It was a joy to fellowship with, share with each other what we've been doing over the past year, and encourage one other.
Thank you, God, for cousins!!!!
Today I was the only volunteer in my department.
One of my fellow volunteers was on vacation; the other, I don't know where she was.
But anyways, it was REAAALLY quiet.
Sit at desk, answer the phone occasionally. No discharges.
But I was thankful, because I got a chance to talk to one of the nurses for a while. She gave me some practical advice on college, healthcare carreers, and classes.
God brings us the people we need to talk to, just when we need them! Thank you, Lord!
Last night, I got to talk to one of my friends from church, a dear sweet girl who I graduated with! It was encouraging to talk to her and to know that I'm not alone in this whole "What comes after highschool? What are you doing??" puzzle/pressure/battle/discussion/confusion.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord!
But truthfully, I never have been, nor ever will be alone. Jesus is with me in this.. he is with me and he will show me the path he has prepared for me. Praise the Lord!
I am also thankful for another dear friend of mine, who tolerates my craziness, my rapid changes in mood, and overall irrationality. I pity her and all the spazzy loco-ness she puts up with (from me:P) on a weekly basis. Lol
I am thankful for how she encourages me and points me back to the Lord and encourages me to dwell on the optimistic/positive instead of the negative.
Thank you, God, for all the dear friends you have given me.
On a random side-note, I am currently in denial that auditions are due 1 week from tomorrow.
That must be why I'm not in a state of mental shock and panic right now. Hm.
Ironically, I am currently listening to music from our most recent concert of the 2011-2012 season. LOL
Yeah............. I better get recording.
Oh also: the fair was great!
I took reserve on my one board, and class on two other projects.
2 of my chickens places 2nd and 4th in their class!
I am thankful for God's grace in the eyes of the 4h/open class judges. :)
I enjoyed set-up, jr. superintending, chicken judging, and "touring" all the exibits and stuff on the fair grounds. My last fair was a good one. PTL!
Since partway through the fair, our chickens are now laying eggs!
Toooooo SWEET!!
We believe two of them are laying, though we aren't yet certain.
Either way, I'm super duper-dee-duper exciteD!!!!
This month is going to be busy with so much stuff.. more and more stuff is getting scheduled. YIKES!
And so much is still up in the air... undecided... uncertain.....
And so much still needs to be done. So much to do, so little time.
I've been doing a lot of thinking... and I'm learning that sometimes, there comes a point when you can no longer figure stuff out via guessing and speculation and assumption, and you must simply trust God with (everything) and let it go.
Easier said than done??? I think yes.
Ayyyyyy de mi.
These things take time.
But God knows. He's in control. And what great relief, peace, and joy we would experience if we would only trust him with whatever issue that's troubling us!
"Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer."
Pues, por esta noche es todo.
Buenas noches a todos!
Hasta luego!
