"I can see clearly now"



God is such a funny guy because sometimes He has to remind us of things we thought we already learned. For instance, this morning I had my "caca face" (That's what Lucas likes to call it when I'm in a bad mood). And it didn't change until I decided to start giving thanks instead of nitpicking and pointing out the negative things. I found so many things to give thanks for.

I'm grateful for (in no particular order):
-for our new church, Doral Baptist Church
-that the church gave my hubby a lap top so that he can work from home and I can occassionally use it, too. ;P
-my incredible family
-that I get to do something I love for a living
-for the relationship I have today with my sister, Deby
-for what God is doing in our life
-for JESUS
-that my hubby became a US citizen on Friday
-that I got to meet two of my friends' beautiful baby daughters this weekend
-for the amazing women I get to see once a week in our small group
-that although we may not see the fruits of what we planted, we know that when we invest in His kingdom the results are eternal
-for all 8 of my siblings including the 4 stepbrothers and stepsisters (bet you didn't know that about me)
-for the opportunity to meet other people and use words to talk about Jesus only when necessary (learned that from Pastor Gaston in RBC)
AND
-that my hubby puts up with me when I am less than tolerable =P (I love you, my handsome...thank you!)

Now, it's your turn...what are YOU grateful for?

-all the opportunities i've been given AND
-someone who reminds me to be grateful for ALL of these things!

first on my mind is: being employed. Although, I'm not the happiest at my location, it's still a good thing that I get to do what I enjoy and that is teach young children. So I'm thankful for work and my students. And this post of course!
