I have been super busy with school and a jam packed weekend! But I'm finally here to update my Thankful Thoughts from last week...
Day 13: I am so thankful for my best friend Laura. Tuesday I spent the afternoon with her and her sweet little baby boy, catching up! We have been best friends since first grade and time nor distance has altered our friendship. She is such an encouragement to me always! So glad God has given me forever friend like her!
Day 14: I am thankful for my job. I work with some really great people, have made some good friends and have been blessed with the opportunity to work under godly leadership.
Day 15: I am thankful for a God who cares and acts on the big and little things I stress about. Thursday I had a mock interview in French. The whole week leading up to Thursday I was nervous. And when I say nervous, I mean knot in the pit of my stomach, want to cry when I thought about it nervous. But God not only provided the time to prepare for it, he gave me an unreal and unexplainable peace Wednesday night and Thursday morning before my interview. It turns out it went much better than I expect it to go, by the grace of God! Hopefully I'll find out tomorrow what I made on it!
Day 16: I am thankful for my time and experiences in Israel, but I am also thankful that we are all home safe and sound. Over the past several days, violence has escalated between Gaza and Israel (I wrote this post about it). My dad was there this past week and left Thursday night. He said that had we been there as a family, we would have been evacuated that night. On the flip side I keep thinking of the friends and acquaintances we made over the six years we spent in Israel and how they are being affected by this conflict. I am thankful that God is sovereign and has a plan in all of the turmoil in the Middle East.
Day 17: I am thankful for my best friend Bethany. She made an unexpected visit on Saturday and it was so wonderful to spend time with her catching up and having fun. I am also thankful that she lives only 3 hours away now! Not only am I thankful for Bethany, but I am thankful for the whole Stewart family. They have been a second family to me, opening up their home to me for Spring Breaks and Thanksgivings past when I could be with my family in Israel. They are a such a sweet family that loves the Lord and I am so thankful that God brought our families together in Israel!!
Day 18: I am thankful for music of all kinds. Today I got to hear Alan play with the Lyric Youth Orchestra at Armstrong and it was fantastic. From country to classical I love it all, my life would be so sad with out it!
Day 19: I am thankful that there is only one more day of classes between me and Thanksgiving break! I am thankful for the break from school and the sweet memories that we will make with friends and family this week! So excited!
So there you have it, I'm all caught up!! Hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving week!
