Do you ever have one of those mornings? You know- the ones that make you want to scream and then go back to sleep so you can restart the day? This past Monday was one of those mornings for me. I traveled out of town during the weekend to visit a friend. We had lots of fun, but when I got back into town on Sunday afternoon, I was exhausted! And this exhaustion carried over into Monday morning. Plus, I think I was ready… Read more »
Hey y’all! The past two years I’ve written a post on Thanksgiving, listing who I’m thankful for. I wrote these posts while sitting on the couch watching Miracle on 34th Street with my mom. Well, that didn’t happen this year. The past two years, Thanksgiving day was pretty chill, and we would then have our big extended family Thanksgiving that Saturday. This year, we had our big extended family Thanksgiving today. So I had no time to watch Miracle on 34th Street, nor did… Read more »

It occurred to me that I haven’t blogged in over a week. (Oops.) And it’s not because I’ve been busy, but rather because I couldn’t think of any good ideas *she admits guiltily.* But, have no fear, I had a splendid idea tonight :) You see, my church service today was about gratitude and thanksgiving and how our thankfulness should spring from God forgiving us. Then, tonight I went to a girls-only Bible study and we talked about thanksgiving there… Read more »
