Thankful Thursday!

yah, those pictures were supposed to be at the bottome..but thats ok. They are pictures of the sunrise I saw on my way back to college about a week ago. I had gone home randomly for the afternoon/evening and drove back early Thursday morning. It was so beautiful and I just had to take about 12 pictures! Anyway, yes, Im thankful for the sunrise...and the sunset...

aaanddd.....its Thursday! What am I thankful for today? well...
1. Thanksgiving is only one week away..and I get to go home
2. Thankful for the desire to go home
3. Thankful for friends...the kind that listen when I ramble on and on about me, myself, and I. (Thank you Conrad, Dana, Marj, Thomas, Tanya, Brit, Shelia......)
4. Thankful for God's instructions on how to live my life and how to please Him, even though its often hard to follow or even desire to follow.
5. Thankful for many ministry opportunities
6. Thankful for mixed up, out-of-the-norm days at work.
7. Thankful for a boss that trusts me and gives me greater responsibilities
8. Thankful for times of stretching and growing, even with as much as it hurts, because I feel so much better afterwards! (Its kinda like a person who is trying to get in shape, you often have very very sore muscels for days...but in the end you don't remember that, you only remember the great feeling of being pleased with the progress.)
9. Thankful that the Genesis test is over, even though it really wasn't that hard, but at least now I don't have any more tests till finals week....and thats two weeks away...
10. Thankful that this semseter is almost over
11. Thankful that God supplies my needs even when I doubted and doubted for so long. No idea how im going to pay back the loans, but He is taking care of the monthly needs for now and I can truly leave all the worries about the college bill with Him! Great feeling!!
12. Thankful for being able to spend time this week wtih my sister and other random friends that I haven't talked to extensivly in awhile.
13. Thankful that God gave the ability to play the piano even as much as I can. I often don't appreciate it enough, but without the piano, I don't know what I would do!
14. Thankful for the internet and the way it makes my life much easier when it comes to research. Also love that I can do things like this and facebook!

I could so keep going like all night long....butttt...I do have two papers to write that I was supposed to do this weekend, but that never happened. Hope you all have a great end of the week...and hey, be Thankful!!! Count your blessing name them one by one; count your many blessings see what God has done!
