Thankful Thursday! (21)

“I prayed to the Lord, and He answered me, freeing me from all my fears. Those who look to Him for help will be radiant with JOY; no shadow of shame will darken their faces... For the angel of the Lord guards all who fear Him, and He rescues them."  ~Psalm 34:4-7

Today, I'm thankful for...

1. Having a church that makes me want to go back and watch the sermons I miss when I'm in OKC! 
2. Chet Lee for sending out the "Word of the Day" emails... which are encouraging, convicting, and usually perfectly timed!  [...I so love this picture because the dog looks like she's rolling her eyes and sick of all the enthusiasm! :)]

3. Being the first to see Malori's new house :) and seeing how perfectly God timed it and worked every little detail out there!!  She looked at it on Friday - LOVED it, made an offer Saturday night (when we took a roadtrip to OKC), and they accepted her offer Sunday!  Intense weekend, but very exciting!  I even got a picture to commemorate it - and I love this picture because of all that and because she's using my State Farm pen.  =) 

4. That Spring is here... according to me, at least... I've always felt that it begins March 1st! =) 

5. Bravo's bread and tomato sauce -- yum!  Probably my favorite appetizer bread at any restaurant!
6. Being able to smile!!!  (Had a mini BP-scare this week, which always makes me 1,000% more thankful for that.)  =D

7. God's grace in delivering me from myself and making things new in so many areas... and the hope and determination of knowing He's ready and able to set me free from my biggest stronghold right now!!

Song of the Week = Our God by Chris Tomlin!  Love Chris Tomlin, and love the words to this song!
"Our God is greater; our God is stronger.  God, You are higher than any other.  Our God is healer, awesome in power, our God.  Our God!  ...and if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?  And if our God is with us, then what could stand against!?"
