Happy Tuesday!! I am writing this blog having completed a full week of ministry – blog to come on that. The Lord has been continuing to grow me in ways that I didn’t expect, especially through gratitude. I’ve also been working on my Key for the Journey (again, blog to come), my goals for the Race, and learning what it means to choose in to community, ministry, and life with Jesus everyday.
It’s not easy, but even though my days and attitude aren’t always perfect, they’re always good. As a result, I have this blog. 🙂
This week, I am grateful for…
the way Papa speaks to me
trying new methods of evangelism (Bible distribution)
the peace that the Word will never return void
Pink Pillared Porches
grace from squadmates
a bold spirit
the opportunity to bring joy to orphans
O Lei Lei
learning a new way to pray
the ability to run
growing people and how they change (myself included)
my first ever good nursing home experience
my Spanish, as broken as it is
worshipping through music AND silliness
creativity in teaching class piano
PLANTAINS
so much sacred and set apart time for the Lord and fellowship
forced reflection
manual labor
Mary

my hammock and guitar
yoga and psalm-based mantras
conversations about God over cleaned plates and coffee
those corn sausage things
a good nap
lemongrass tea fresh from the garden
leading Bible study in Spanish with Lakota
