In light of the holiday I have been pondering just how thankful I really am and all of the things I am thankful for.
Its also our 40 day mark of being on the field so here are 40 things I am thankful for:
Side note: these are not ranked in any particular order.
- Intimacy with Jesus
- Coffee. All the coffee. Especially that first sip.
- Family
- Running at sunrise
- My team – TEAM UNITED
- Worship
- American burgers – more specifically though is the Pretzel Burger from Gallon House.
- Hot showers
- The Ocean
- Younglife
- Friends
- JIF peanut butter
- B Squad
- My hearing
- The cross
- Long drives with good conversation & good playlists
- Christmas movies – all the Hallmark movies y’all.
- New experiences
- Twinkle lights
- The smell of chlorine
- Coffee mugs
- Community sweaters (community meaning within the girls in my squad)
- European chocolate – its too good y’all.
- Travel
- Hammock hanging
- Cocoa butter
- Gear up – If you ever visit Silverton you have to go.
- The Lord’s provision
- Family dinner – there’s just something about sitting around a table together
- Big comfy white beds
- Cuddling – who woulda thought
- Sushi – oh how I miss all the sushi
- Naps
- Community living – as much as it sucks when you all want to shower, is still great.
- The Black Sea, castles & waterparks

- The support of my loved ones back home
Y’all, I would love to encourage you to take a minute (or 10) and just think of all the things you are thankful for. I found myself drifting into a grumpy mood this afternoon but man I have no reason to be because there are SO MANY THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR!
Happy Thanksgiving from Romania!
My teammates, Kelsey & Ashlyn, and I headed to the church this morning for ministry.
The sunrise we got to experience this morning on our run.
On a side note: I am still fundraising for the race! If you feel called to donate then please hit the donate button above. Anything helps but even more than finances, we can use prayer more than anything.
Specific prayer requests:
• Against spiritual warfare we may be facing here. This countries a lot of it but y’all that wouldn’t be happening if the enemy was okay with what’s happening so let’s just keep praying that our squad stays encouraged and ready to go.
•That we would continue to be so present as we finish up our last week and a half of ministry before we head to Africa. Can you believe it’s already that soon?!
• Finances, not only for me but for the rest of my squad as well. There are still some of us that are fundraising!
Grace & Peace to all of you!
