Thankful Thursday #174

"For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work
and the love that you have shown for His name
by caring for other believers, as you still do.” 
~Hebrews 6:10

Today, I am thankful for:

1.  That we choose what we dwell on (and typically reap what we sow).

2.  Hope.  Seeing this post last week (describing a career I would LOVE at a place I already love) was a hopeful reminder for me that there will be jobs that are really well-suited for me, and God will direct me all along the way!

3.  Once again, connecting with K-Faith makes the list... she was calling here to show me her new highlights and her succulent plant! ❤  Could not adore her more.

4.  One of my favorite qualities in God (or in a man I would choose to marry) = protective strength.  I want to feel loved and safe and sheltered.  But I so appreciate this little meme reminding me that being overprotected can stunt our growth... and I'm thankful that God knows when to cover/protect me and when to allow hardship that strengthens my roots in Christ and helps me grow.  An important thing to remember as a parent, as well.  I ❤ metaphors. lol

5.  Taking time to vent/discuss my frustrations, then to prepare well and pray, and feeling better/more competent about working with kids for now -- I even had Hannah come in and observe a session on Tuesday, which ended up being good and fun! =)  (I felt anxious and inadequate and ill-prepared for this type of therapy before this week).

6.  Peloton walks... this one is my current favorite - so many great P!nk songs!!

7.  Dreamgirls... the 2006 movie we watched approximately 50x on our 2007 cruise. lol  I watched it for the first time in years last weekend, and I've been listening to the soundtrack since.  I've always connected deeply with music... Jennifer and Beyonce can SIIIING, and I so love the passion and the lyrics on all three of these songs!!  With that last video, I think we can all agree Jennifer deserved that Oscar... *her Carpool Karaoke singing this with James is also worth watching! lol

 

So good!!  Happy Thursday, friends!
