Thankful Thursday #179!

"When the crowds found out,
they followed Him.
He welcomed them,
spoke to them about the kingdom of God,
and healed those who needed healing." 
~Luke 9:11

Today, I am thankful for:  

1.  Faith.  Through the "root days" and the "fruit days."

2.  Spring is springing.  Spring season officially begins next Tuesday, but the signs of new life everywhere make me happy and grateful.  Nature is full of hopeful metaphors.

3.  The treasure-trove of cute photos and memories that pop up daily on Google Photos and FB Memories! 

4.  My CR job.  The $5 per page rate increase has been awesome, and I'm grateful for the benefits and the way they've worked with me on my internship!

5.  Tuesday (after several weeks of nothing new) I got two new clients, and the next day, Restore decided to open up a telehealth option for the first time for their interns.  And I know that was God, and I'm very grateful!  I've now worked with kids, adults, families, and my first male (young boy) client, where the playtime looks very different and made me laugh (in the pic below)!  P.S.  I'm finally understanding that adults are more willing to go with intern counselors for their kids than for themselves, so I'm embracing this as a season where I'm learning how to work with children, and while I'm not fully certain on God's purpose there, I trust He will use it for good!!

6.  Being Aunt "Winsey" for Parker Elizabeth and Tate Haywood - they're the cutest!  (These pics are at Whataburger, where I joined the Wilson/Weatherford crew for a last-minute dinner plan last Sunday after a 3-hour Panera chat with Kristin Foster - yay, God, for giving me such excellent friends!)  P.S. Parker said "Wuv you!" at the end of our phone call yesterday, and it totally made my day - she also promptly hung up before she heard me say it back! lol

7.  A Disney trip is in the works with the Wilsons/Weatherfords and potentially Foster fam... and I'm super excited (and promising to be enthralled and delighted by the fireworks this round)!! ❤
