Thankful in 30
1. Mexican food
I'm amazed at how different the cultures of our world are but so thankful for their foods. YUM!
2. Parents
Who love me and are concerned with every facet of my life
3. Renewal
19 people from my church were baptized tonight and I am so thankful for the fresh start God gave each of them and for the grace and mercy He bestows upon me each day

7 down. 23 to go. And I'm loving every minute of it!
(Obviously the longer post isn't happening-sorry.)
Blessings,
Bethany
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Day 6
Thankful in 30:
1. Amazing praise & worship music sung in Spanish (i.e. Best of Lakewood Live's 1st verse to Glorify)
2. Bookcases-there's just something about them that I LOVE (probably b/c I love books so much)-I got 2 new ones today
3. Electric power tools-to put together said bookcases
4. Living less than 1000 yards from Wal-Mart so I can run over & purchase screws to put together said bookcases with
5. Text messaging-so that I can be in constant communication w/Z
6. The feeling I get when I arrive home, take my shoes off, change into comfortable clothes, & breathe a sigh of relief.
******************************************************************
Perhaps a longer post will get written tomorrow. Sorry to disappoint.

Day 5
Though this is posted on Day 6 of my month, it is Day 5's Thankful in 30. Given the time, I'll make no small talk. Today's list:
1. A Pastor who loves and cares for his sheep and handles all other church responsibilities as he is the only paid staff member but yet will stay up until the wee hours of the morning conversing and strategizing over things with his CE director. I have the best Pastor!
2. Music-it speaks the words of the soul as can been seen by the lyrics to the song (shown below) sent to me by my bf today.
A Summer Song by Wavorly
Spread the blanket on top, and I'll turn off the lights
And we'll gaze at the stars
With you by my side, the moon set to the right
It's incomparable so far
I haven't stopped falling in love
Haven't stopped falling
Two years ago, I had no idea that you were so perfect
As we wait so long, until we join hands
You make the wait worth it
I haven't stopped falling in love
Haven't stopped falling
Now years down the road
Still hasn't gotten old to sit and laugh the day away
There's one thing you should know
My love for you grows even more every day
I haven't stopped falling in love
Haven't stopped falling in love
And the day that I finally can take you home
There's no way that I'm ever, ever letting go
We'll be ok, though miles may separate
There's no space between our hearts
And this day, I choose to keep loving you
As if it were a choice, I can't stop falling…
I haven't stopped falling in love
Spread the blanket on top, and I'll turn off the lights
3. 3 children who have greatly improved my quality of life and help me keep my life in perspective. They are spectacular and always have me smiling & laughing!
I love you Hannah, Elijah & Gabe! :)

Day 4
Thankful in 30
1. Today I'm thankful for hairdressers who can fit me in at the last minute as I am so not loving my cut from last week. I've figured it out-I'm a layers kinda gal. :)
2. I'm also mucho grateful for people who keep me grounded and listen to me vent. I'm blessed to have so many people in my life who do just that and hope that I can be the same kind of blessing to them as well.
3. Cooler weather-practically perfect-reminding me of my God who gives us little gifts through His creation declaring His sovereignty. (And also means my electric bill will be going down in the near future. YAY!)
4. Chocolate pudding aka My dinner. :) Ah the joys of living alone...
5. Lastly, I am thankful for my gift of organization. Although it really annoys me at times b/c I am so OCD, an organized life is SOOO much better than a chaotic one.
Th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks!
Blessings,
B
