"Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live."
-1 Thessalonians 5:16-17


I have been sick for a while now, and on top if that, extremely busy. Which leaves very little time and energy to write a blog at the end of the day. Also, since we moved into our apartment... we don't exactly have internet. I usually only get online when I go to Adamo or Forza, and that's only for a short period of time because I end up talking to 20 people I know while I am there. ANYWAY... wow, Thanksgiving. 2008 is flying by. CRAZY. I know everyone says it, but I really have so many reasons to praise God this Thanksgiving. So here it goes:

First and foremost, I am so thankful for God's faithfulness to provide. Especially in these past couple months, with my car being killed [haha], and moving into an apartment... God has been so faithful with providing exactly what I need when I need it. Katie [my roommate] and I have been blessed with so many random things we NEED for our apartment. Money came from random places to get us all the basics, and we were even given a TV AND MICROWAVE! Woo!! Two things we did not expect to have at all! Besides these big things, God has provided in so many other small ways. Its been great to move out and become more independent in that aspect, but become more dependent on God. Seriously, great!

Secondly, I am definitely thankful for my family. Letting me live at home for free and borrow cars, moving all my furniture, letting me eat meals... haha. I could go on for years.

The last real thing I am going to say is probably an obvious third thing to be thankful for: my friends. I have developed so many new friendships this year, and it has been amazing. I love the age I am at right now. I can't remember ever having such thoughtful and loving friends. I enjoy every minute I spend with them. Whether we are playing Kidnap [yes its a real game and its kind of scary, especially when you get dropped off in the bad part of Tacoma, but ummm yeah I still love my friends] or Whoonu, working together and making coffee, or at a church retreat, I couldn't be more thankful for the people in my life.

Now a few random things I am thankful for:
-Dr. Pepper.
-lotion!!!!!!! [steaming milk, mixed with submerging your hands in Purocaff water making super dry skin!]
-my new found love for tea.
-sweaters.
-lower gas prices that allow us to play kidnap. ;)
-high schoolers.
-free wifi.
-target. [i got pretty much everything for my apartment there!]
-free text messaging.
-music. all music.
-coffee discounts.
-febreeze [so my work shoes dont smell up our whole house like coffee].
-CANDLES. ahh they are wonderful.
