Thankful Thursday!! (56)

"Therefore, we who have fled to HIM for REFUGE can have GREAT CONFIDENCE as we hold to the HOPE that lies before us. We have this HOPE as an ANCHOR for the soul, firm and SECURE." ~Hebrews 6:18,19

Today, I am thankful for:

1)  God's kindness/comfort; feeling closer to Him.

2)  The happy surprise of finding a new John Eldredge book at Mardel this week!  (So far, I'm really connecting with it - much as I don't actually know the man, I always feel like I'm listening intently to a brilliant and insightful friend who really understands me when I read his books.)  :)

3)  Joyce, for speaking truth with love and boldness - sometimes it slaps me in the face and is difficult to hear, but I know God uses her to correct me and help me grow up!

4)  Whoever gave the little presh Boo puppy a FB page and calendar, because just looking at him brightens my day and makes me happier! =)

5)  A fun Zumba marathon with the fabulous Laura Allison this past weekend, and for being inspired/motivated to exercise and get in shape!

6)  For perspective shifts:  Realizing that (ironically) I am only affected and bothered by the self-centeredness of others to the degree that I am being selfish and wishing they would focus more on me.

7)  For life in this present moment, (however difficult it might feel), for beauty, for the hope of redemption, for being alive and "infinite" in Christ, and for all the people I love most in this world!!
