I have so much to be grateful for. I don't like the days when I walk around with my head down forgetting to be thankful for all the ways my God is blessing me. I want to drive around Kansas again someday, like the picture above. I am grateful for renewed dreams.
I am thankful for... ... Jenna's willingness to come whenever I need her and drive me anywhere. ... timely bagels when I don't go to the caf for breakfast. ... Justin buying us ice cream for lunch. ... learning that I'm not a failure for others not opening up. ... sunny day after sunny day after sunny day. ... snow falling in the mornings when I need reminders of grace. ... Coral inspiring me to go bootless yesterday. ... the way Molly smiled at me last night that showed me Jesus. ... birthday plans. ... peaceful inspiration in the piano room. ... an incredibly real talk with Coral during one of our Monday/Wednesday 4:45-5:50pm chats. Turns out this girl is learning the same lesson God's been teaching me for about 6 months now. It's called selfishness. ... a God who is faithful to finish what he started. ... a roommate who must not love me for what I do, for I do nothing and yet her love pours out on me. ... insurance that allows me to get an MRI on my knee. ... iPhones that remember all of the truth your friends have every texted you. ... a God who is near to the brokenhearted. ... long-distance friends that make the effort. (Holla Sam, Jenna, & Hannah!) ... exclamation marks, because those guys are just really happy!!! ... the fact that God is in charge of my future and not me. ... seeing Jenna's blog post. She told me she blogged about me, so I figured she mentioned my name. Nope, this girl wrote a whole post about me and I was open-mouthed reading about how she sees me. Holy wow. ... getting to see Alexi Speich in less than 2 days and on her favorite holiday too! FINALLY! ... this pizza I'm eating right now. Gotta love 3:30am snacks. ... Jordan freaking Gilbertson. Sometimes I just love that soul more than I can believe. I love that she visits me at 5:50am before she goes to work, I love that she always offers me chocolate, I love that she holds my hand and strokes my head when I don't feel well, I love that she is honest, I love that she understands me, but mostly, I love her unrelenting heart after God even when it is so hard.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
