Thankful Thursday (84)

"Be my secure shelter and a strong fortress to protect me; You are my refuge and defense." ~Psalm 71:3

Since my last post was a bit of a venting complaint-fest, I wanted to counter it with some gratitude! lol

Today, I am thankful for...

1.  My sister and her family and all the joy my niece and nephews bring me!  

2.  My growing friendships with the Woodlake group!  The Fosters are two of the most faithful, faith-filled people I know. Audrey is genuine and compassionate. April is quiet but really funny. Neil and Amber are expecting their first child, and I know they'll be great parents!  It's just a fun group where we have game nights twice a month, and I'm starting to make some deeper connections, and I'm always thankful for that!

3.  The way God is slowly using that church and that group to bring healing and help me to trust again and be open to the true Holy Spirit after some super-crazy and semi-traumatic church experiences (with people who falsely believed they were operating in the Spirit) in my past!!! 

4.  My Grandad, who is one of the kindest and most genuine men I know!

5.  My job, where I have great work hours and get to work with my friends, where I have a unique skill set and I'm really good at what I do, and where I've become determined to put in the practice time to become better and pass the RMR and CRR tests and give myself a raise! lol  (Aaaaand where they've said they will bring me new ceiling tiles soon! lol) #yesplease

Waiting on a verdict in our trial last week! =)

6.  Summer and swimming and fresh cut flowers and how late it stays bright and sunny! I'm soaking it up and loving it right now!! ❤

7.  Baby bunnies!!  Because all the cuteness!  (This = a pic from Rach's phone that popped up in my Google Photos account and made me happy!) =)
