At this moment I'm...



Feeling sick and tired of being sick and tired. But I'm better than I was yesterday. Glory be.

Drinking a glass of apple juice while eating rice crackers with hummus.

Looking for...ward to DRIME this Friday! God's doing a lot of fantastic things on the streets!

Dreaming of how I will begin to pack all my summer clothing into a suitcase for when I head out this January. One of my goals for before I go is to sweep through my room from top to bottom and sort everthing into junk, still using, stuff I'm taking with me when I go, things that I won't need until next fall, and boxes of keepsakes that won't need to be opened until a much later future date.
Making sure I don't leave my work pants in the dryer for too long. They go in just long enough to get the wrinkles out and then they hang over the railing. It wouldn't go over very well if, when it came time to get ready for work, my pants didn't fit. O.o

What are you currently feeling, drinking, dreaming of and/or making?

I got called in (out).

Yup. I just got back from a shift at work that I got called in for. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I had been looking forward to an evening at home, but I am thankful for the four extra hours I will get on my next paycheque. Now I'm sitting at home and Tod, our dog, is curled up on the chair across from me looking very cute.

I had an opportunity to share God with someone at work today and I didn't take it. The Lord promptly called me out on that. I realized that I had had the perfect opportunity to mention that I go to church, but I didn't. In my work environment, that statement could have opened up so many questions and been fodder for a good conversation. But I disregarded it out of my own insecurity, forgetting momentarily that God's opinion of me is worth infinitely more than what any of my coworkers would think of me.

"He led me to a place of safety;"
  he rescued me because he delights in me."

-Psalm 18:19
 
God delights in us!

The Lord of Creation delights in YOU.

So even when I screw up, miss an opportunity to share Jesus or judge somebody...God's grace covers all of that. :') Wowza. How awesome is that?
 
Unfortunately I don't have a picture for you tonight, but this one is from yesterday. It was the same scenario after work tonight also, just swap out the iced tea for some good, old-fashioned aqua. (So I guess this can count as a picture from today.)
 
Tomorrow is my sister's birthday! Hooray! It'll be fun to celebrate her along with the rest of my fam jam.
 

Is there a scripture verse that has stood out to you recently?

I'd better buy a transit pass.

The lovely Van Pod on our way to our first practice of the semester! We live in such a beautiful part of the world. :)

Today I am thankful for:
- Good novels to read,
- Efficient public transportation,
- And encouraging friendships.
 
"What if you woke up tomorrow with only the things you thanked God for today?"
 

What are you thankful for?
