Thankful Thursday! (70)

Well, it turns out this writing stuff is hard work!!  But I'm keeping my promise to myself not to blog unless I've written 1,000+ words a day, which is why I'm starting this post at 11:08 tonight. lol

This will just be a quick "Thankful Thursday" note!  Today, I'm grateful for...

1.  Getting to take off work today and attend the Catalyst Conference with my Dad and my Aunt Charlene!!  (I didn't expect to be able to get people to cover for me in court, so it was a great happy surprise!)  And it was fun to randomly run into Tall Kyle... "So is this conference gonna be your next blog post?"  "Very possible!"  "I don't have any great quotes for you!" lol

2.  Hearing Craig and Andy Stanley give several great mini-sermons about leadership and influence through the day... and getting to meet Andy and get his autograph - YAY! :) 
(*Andy and Kyle's shirts kinda match!)

3. Getting to have Andolini's Food Truck (Vesuvio pizza) for lunch and Ted's for dinner (plus a McAlister's brownie last night)!! lol  I'm not making any restaurant purchases, but the brownie was my choice of "payment" for this calligraphed verse for Chettles, and Dad bought lunch and dinner today! #awesomesauce

4.  Finally getting the girlfranz vet and grooming appointments out of the way! lol  :) #lionmane

5.  Planet Fitness -- I'm still loving it and feeling good about my new routine!
6.  The Jaceman starting Pre-K yesterday!!  (It's a 2-hours-a-day, 3-days-a-week little school, but he loves it... despite being put in "time out" today. lol)

"I had so much fun, Mamaw!" -Jace when Rach and Mom came to get him

7.  Getting over this bronchitis, slowly but surely!

(You know I had to use this. lol)

Verse for the Day:
"For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of Light! For this Light within you produces only what is good and right and true... Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them."  ~Ephesians 5:8-11


May we be bold and let the light of Christ shine in us and through us!!
