THANKFUL THURSDAY! (67)

Today, I'm thanking God for...

1.  The life and freedom and authority that belong to me through Christ!!  (Those are 3 things I'm embracing this year, so only 27 to go in JEM's challenge. lol jk, I've really done several already - but I do need to pick up speed.)
2.  Summer fun and happy, just-the-right-amount-of-warm days and pool parties with friends and family!  (...but not thankful for the horseflies - it's possible that I said a regrettable word when I realized 3 were on my T-shirt as I was drying off - before jumping right back into the pool. lol)

3.  That I can tell and feel it that God is working and healing me!  I really enjoyed reminiscing and going through literally thousands of pictures from 2009-today to create new scrapbooks.  I didn't feel sad or upset or pressured to disconnect from all the memories with my best friend through the majority of that time.  It was good and good for me, and I'm thankful for that!
*Sidenote: This picture always cracks me up - Carterman serenading Rach and Josh during her baby shower... Rach's 'thrilled' expression and Carter's head being tilted like he's really getting into it make me laugh! lol  

4.  For half-year resolutions, aka setting new goals on July 1st!  (Also, thankful that July 1st was a good day all around.)  And for fun friends who cheer me on in my goals!!

5.  For two silly puppies that make every day just a little more fun and eventful! :)

5.  Getting to work with Lauralai Allison - and take random work pics of each other on felony Tuesday! :)  I do believe this is the only shot I have of myself on my machine, so yay for at least having one before I leave! lol

6.  Laughing, happy babies - especially my adorable one and only niece, Missy K!! =)

(Preciousness!)

7.  Your prayers!!  "For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance." ~Philippians 1:19  (I know I have friends and family who pray for me faithfully, and I can feel God working in my heart right now, so I'm especially thankful for that!)
