In All Things, Give Thanks

I am thankful for…

Never running out of gas when I allow it to go dangerously low
Hot yoga (not Bikram)
Reading/hearing writer friends' novels in development
Beer + Scrabble
My parents' graciousness
My ability to stop bad behavior with a look
Brany's rambling and stuttering in broken English when he doesn't know the answer to my question
A's in my first two grad school classes
Living on a prayer with Melanie
Dancing in Boystown
Inquisitive and attentive audiences for my unbelievable-sounding Bolivia stories
Babies
The times I don't need to set an alarm for anything
The magic of Pandora radio
My grandma's strength and normalcy after her mastectomy
Deep dish pizza
Iglesia Kairos and the friendships I'm developing with people from IDP and in my Bible study
Wisdom that comes from relationships
Friends from all parts of life who listen, encourage, inspire, stretch me, and teach me
Steadiness and peace
Kind strangers
Photography
Feeling empowered through the Spirit to speak, write, teach, sing, and create without shame and in the name of Truth
The grace and joy I'm finding in this season
