~Psalm 107:1
Today, I'm thankful for:
1. The verse above! Some translations say "His steadfast love endures forever," but I liked this one with "mercy" better. Because I tend to feel an unhealthy level of guilt and something close to despair when I start to imagine that God's patience with me is wearing thin in certain areas. So I've been forcing myself to dwell on God's mercy lately, how I have a guilt-free CLEAN SLATE every day because His mercy for me is "new every morning." It's one of three verses I've been speaking out loud before I get out of bed, trying to form a healthy new habit and start my day off right! (Lamentations 3:23,24... Psalm 19:14... & Psalm 118:24)
2. Mindi & Kelly... two strong, passionate, influential women of God... thankful that both are breast cancer survivors who give Him all the glory!! (And thankful I got to walk the Race for the Cure with them this year.)
3. Chet Lee... and his new house (tomorrow)! =D I'm excited for him... thankful that God has already been working things out in his favor, and praying that the closing process and the painting weekend goes smoothly!
\4. Chick-Fil-A... yum! (This was Megan's FIRST Chick-Fil-A experience, and the cow was outside, so naturally, I insisted we document it!) =)
5. That Statistics class will be over in two weeks!!
6. For the $30/month cut in my cable bill with no service downgrade! (Only for 6 months, but I'm happy I still get to hang out with Rory and Lorelai on my lunch breaks... also very happy to report that Wonder Years is back on The Hub and Full House is back on Nick-at-Nite! .....it's quite possible that I should've stuck to my original plan to cancel those channels and waste less time... but the salesman was really good at his job.) :)
7. For the empowering, ego-boosting combo of reading Quiet, getting a pretty new haircut/color, having three professors compliment me on my writing ability, and having my statistics professor assume (delusional as it may be) that I'm really great at math! ...hopefully my new math confidence will stay strong long enough to help me power through the GRE this weekend! ;)
Happy Thursday!!
