30 Days of Gratitude: Day 24 - My Husband

 

Today I'm thankful for my husband.


This post could go on and on because that's just how amazing my husband is. Such a hard-worker, and such a wonderful leader to me. It is so hard to only see him like 2 hours a day, but I know he is working hard and that we'll cherish times together more.  He picks me up when I'm feeling defeated and reminds me to keep relying on the Lord.
So today, I dedicate to the love of my life. <3 Pin It

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 23 - My Faith

 

Today I'm thankful for my faith.


In a world full of scary twists and turns, and people...I know I can always rely on God to carry me through those overwhelming times in my life. I don't know where I'd be without my faith and without the power of prayer. He is amazing. Pin It

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 22 - The Word "NO"

Today I'm thankful for the word "no". 


Sounds like a funny thing to be thankful for, but yes, I am thankful for it today. As we enter a season of non-stop dances, musicals, parties, shopping trips, programs, church events, and other random life activities, I'm so happy for my ability to just say "no". This is a secretary's magic word. If only I could exercise it a little more... Pin It

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 21 - Hot Showers

Today I am thankful for hot showers.


After spending time in the Dominican Republic, I've come to find a new appreciation for hot showers. Though taking a cold shower after working in 90+ degree heat all day (usually +), a cold shower might sound quite nice, but it sure takes your breath away! Here, a hot shower is quite soothing after coming in from a cold day! Pin It

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 20- GEMS

 Today I'm thankful for GEMS.


Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior - a program we hold from girls 1st-8th grades. Tonight, we reached 76 girls - our high of the whole year! This program not only reaches out to the girls of our church, but to the girls of our community! Only about 30% probably attend our church, the rest come with friends or by word of mouth. It is a good reminder of just how important our children's programs are in the church, and I am grateful we have had such success in it this year! Pin It

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 19 - Medical Technology

 

Today I'm thankful for medical technology.


This may sound like the dorkiest post ever, but really, I am so grateful that God has provided us with the medical advances He's provided. Without them, I'm not sure where I'd be, probably not around. And we got to use it today to see our baby in 3D! It is quite amazing, and today, I appreciate it greatly. Pin It

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 18 - Friends

 

Today I'm thankful for friends.


As you may or may not have noticed, I haven't touched on the obvious gratitudes (friends, family, etc.) quite yet, but you all know I need to get there. So today is dedicated to friends. Today was a great day for being reminded of how needed they are in my life. From those praying for me to the ladies that just give me that much-needed night out, I'm grateful for you all! Thanks for being in my life! Pin It
