thankfulness pt. 2

jake’s passion and zeal for life. the quality of peace that michael has. joshua’s thought provoking posts and the overall unlikely friendship between a canadian & a southern girl. sarah’s loyalty. the way amy makes me crack up. lauren’s thankful heart. (other) lauren’s love for Young Life and HS kids. girl talk with any of my girls—amy, sarah, lauren, sarah, mary, jessa, joy, jan, the list goes on… josh’s creativity. amber & the honor it has been to be such a huge part of her family. hannah’s radical obedience. mikey’s love, support, & musical talent. tyler’s consistency and his love-you-no-matter-what spirit. the heart-to-hearts that i have with colin from time to time. mike’s spirit for life & his excitement about bringing Jesus to the world. my brother’s laugh. my other brother’s work ethic. all my mentors. cherry’s ability to always follow through. the way that cpule doesn’t let miles get in between friendship. ((the list goes on…))

nights like tonight. bubble bath. champagne. hot tea. candles. reading by candlelight. there’s just something about peaceful nights relaxing that will always make me feel whole and new and refreshed and ready to conquer whatever’s coming next.

constant encouragement from friends, both locally and afar.

chai candles. lush cosmetics. home remedies & the fact that things like toothpaste can fix acne and honey can sooth burns and apple cider vinegar can clear our pores and lemon juice and sugar can make really bad sunless-tanning-gone-wrong skin tones normal again.

the bright future ahead of me.

…gosh, there’s so much. mostly tonight though, people. friends. family.

so blessed.
