In honor of my Taylor Swift year, I have decided to take some time to think about 22 things that I am thankful for today! And boy is there so much more than 22! 

 

BUT in no particular order: 

 

  1. T-Swift’s song 22 – DUH! ??
  2. WhatsApp! Being able to call my momma & Kara!
  3. Seeing wild animals – today was wildebeests, hoping for an elephant or LION ??
  4. The views from our home this month – I mean the lord put some extra beauty in Kenya. 
  5. The fact I get to call this place home!!! 
  6. The way the sun rays shined through the clouds this morning ?? 
  7. Homemade cinnamon rolls – ain’t nothin’ like it!
  8. Sweet words & listening prayer from dear friends! 
  9. My team making me a yummy breakfast! (if you’re curious – eggs, cinnamon roll, mango and hot cocoa!)
  10. Sarah serenading me with her piano skills – legit all the time. 
  11. A small airplane flying low during my Jesus time!!! 🙂
  12. Finishing our 1000 piece puzzle we begun 3 days ago! (& started a new one!)
  13. Fresh out of the oven bread rolls for lunch!
  14. Teammates who share the same love for Mamma Mia as I do.
  15. Laughter!!!!
  16. Teammates who have showered me in love all day ??
  17. Playing all the card games!
  18. A PRESENT!!!! I GOT NEW SOCKS!!!! Thanks to Whit ??
  19. Surprises! I love surprises 🙂 (still unsure of what but knowing they’re coming!)
  20. Deb Deren. What a gem. Enough said.
  21. Fluffy blankets to keep warm on the cool crisp day ???? 
  22. A Father who loves me & has called me to this crazy adventure! 

 

All in all. I’m so thankful for this life I GET to live. I’m thankful for all the love and encouragement from my friends here & those back home. I’m thankful for good wifi to be able to call my mom & Kara. I’m so thankful for a good good Father.
