Thankful Thursday, Take 52

Wow....it's been a year that I've been doing this....time goes by so quickly.....

Thanking God this week for:
  • New opportunities at work - finally time to use my degree! :) Human Resources and copy-editing, here I come. YEA!!!!!!!
  • The Lord's favor and mercy on me in regard to my job...that I still have one
  • Sustaining me with all my material needs
  • Being able to pay all my bills when so many have lost their jobs and are struggling
  • Good friends
  • Excitement, hope, anticipation - even if I don't know entirely what for.....
  • Wise and encouraging - freeing words - from someone I trust implicitly
  • The holiday season is coming....yippee!!!!!
  • The way He works out my schedule and cares for me....even when I'm seeking to care for others. A meeting got cancelled tonight that I just didn't have the capacity for since I've been running in so many directions doing so much. Yea for an unexpected evening off to catch up!
  • Being sought out for my opinion and perspective...by someone I trust a whole lot
  • The presidential race being over....really, I got so sick of political ads by the end that I didn't even care who won (okay, not really...but you get my drift)
  • The new leader the Lord has put in place (Hebrews 13)
  • That my hope is placed in the Lord alone...not in rulers. Though I didn't vote for Obama, I'm actually excited that he'll be president. I'm excited for all that it means...in many implicit and explicit ways......but yet, my hope isn't in a leader or government...my hope for my own life and for change in this world is in Christ alone.
  • His love
  • His Sovereignty
