Are you there God? Its Me.

Every week, I try to take a few moments to think about the blessings in my life. It looks a little different each week, but I can always find something to be thankful for in the little, everyday moments of life.

~I am thankful for the beautiful ladies that I have started to bond with at my MOPS table. They all bring something unique and fun to our group and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year will bring for us.

~I am thankful for the way God has moved in my life even though I resisted in more ways then one. I am thankful I have a God who loves me and does not give up on me.

~I am thankful for the wonderful women that God has placed in my life. I spent the majority of my life never having a female confidant or anyone that I felt that I could turn to with my darkest secrets and to seek advice from. God has thankfully placed a couple of women whom I am getting comfortable enough with to let down those walls, even if they are half way across the country from me.

~I am thankful for naptime!

~I am thankful for electricity. We had a huge windstorm here earlier in the week and we lost power for about 7 hours. It made me realize how much we really do rely on electricity in our lives and how little those in other countries have because they do not have electricity.

~I am thankful for the time I have had with Dakota. With Jayden in school, I have been able to turn more of my attention to her. I am thankful that we have started to really bond as a mother and daughter should.

~I am thankful for clarity.

~I am thankful for the ability to leave my children at home with their dad so that I can go to the coffee shop and get some work done.

~I am thankful for the Borders coffee shop with free Wi-Fi so that I can do my work in peace.

~I am thankful for white chocolate mochas. I will never again be branching out in the coffee world.

~I am thankful for my mother-in-laws quick recovery. She is healing well and is on the mend. She will be chasing after grandkids again in no time!

~~My mother-in-law is doing so much better. She is healing a lot faster then the doctors had thought she would.

~~I am so far behind on my blog because of last week’s happenings. I have a couple of reviews to do and so many posts rolling around in my head that I want to share with you. Not to mention a new project I am working on as well as trying to get caught up before the holidays are upon us.

~~I want to know what they put in Cool Ranch Doritos to make them so addictive.

~~It is really disappointing when you try a new flavor of coffee and you do not like it. At All. Then you either feel guilty for throwing it out and wasting the money or you sit and drink the entire cup even though it is gross.

~~I know that fall has officially arrived because my eczema is starting to flare up.

~~Why does it seem like I can never get enough sleep no matter how early I go to bed?

~~I am trying to get the kitchen cleaned up, decluttered and organized before the holidays and winter time cooking arrive. It is not an easy task when you do not have much storage space. It is also hard to decide what to keep and what to get rid of because you might need that kitchen tool for some random recipe once or twice a year.

~~I am now remembering again why I dislike daylight savings. It really is not right that it is already almost dark by the time Jayden is getting off the school bus.

~~I am normally not ready for Christmas to start so soon after Halloween. However, this year I seem to be ready to just skip over Thanksgiving, put away the fall decor and start getting Christmas out. I guess I will just have to be satisfied with my Starbucks red cup and some Christmas music.

~~I am trying to clean out the pantry so I can do some organizing in there before the stores start the winter stock up sales. This is making for some creative combinations for dinner.

~~I am REALLY loving Beth Moore’s Daniel study. It is exactly what I have been wanting; to learn more about the actual history and study of the bible, not just life applications. I am definitely very excited and it makes my heart pump fast to be learning all of this awesome stuff.

~~I really dislike how fast the wind is blowing outside right now and the fact that the lights keep flickering.

~~I am wondering if my readers enjoy these random thoughts postings every once in a while. Maybe I should do another reader survey. Maybe I will get more participation this time.

~~I am so glad I have an awesome husband who helps clear out the Halloween candy bowl by taking handfuls to work.

~~I am really excited about our Sunday School class and the direction I think it is headed. I feel God will be moving in great ways through the families in our class.

~~Dakota has her second ballet class tomorrow morning. Perhaps I will remember to bring the camera this time.
