Thankful Thursday #15
Happy Thursday friends!
#186 For Multi-grain Cheerios, iced coffee, a thick leather bound Bible, and a quiet spot on the balcony--just Jesus and me. For 3 great starts to my morning in a row!
#187 Shopping cart belts that my 4 year old can't figure out how to unlatch.
#188 Time spent with just me and my boy... and his gruff-voiced, baby-babble conversation filling my car.
#189 Peeking in on my daughter and son laughing together. Sure, the room is full of mess and toys, but the room is also full of laughter, joy and love. This is a good gift. :) Also, for 4-year-old jokes and 1-year-olds that find them funny.
#190 For the busy explorer and the very particular time in one's life when a missing shoe does not slow down the journey.
#191 Sitting on the dock with my Handsome talking about the future, remembering God's blessings in the past, and savoring life in the present.
#192 For cucumbers from one of my husband's customers and homemade tzatziki sauce. (perhaps I have found a new motto for my life: when life give's you cucumbers, make tzatziki. Works for me. I majorly heart that stuff! Perhaps I will share how to make it soon along with some other Mediterranean favorites?)
#193 Chasing the moon
#194 Outdoor art gallery... for free.
Might I humbly ask for your prayers as my husband's schooling winds down and the hiring processes pick up? We could land anywhere really, and all we want is to land smack dab in the middle of God's Will.
Also, maybe this is super selfish, but I think of this as a community to which I belong and you are equally welcome and able to ask for my prayers and the prayers of others here, but would you pray for the Big, Huge, God-sized ideas I have for my writing, this blog, and this community? I want to be led by God. And walk in His timing. And not be afraid. I gots major things brewing in this head of mine, and I want to follow after God's will not mine. (Did all that make sense? Boil it down to this: "God, help Amanda not be self-centered. Keep her centered on You. Confirm Your plans for this piece of blogosphere to her and use it as YOU will" <---or something like that in your own words, of course [wink])
Got a prayer request I (or we) can lift up to God with you? Leave it in the comments, on the facebook page, or send it here: {conqueringhousewife at the-cadence dot com} (and, you know, for the email address use actual symbols where appropriate and no spaces... just trying to avoid those dang spammer bots that occasionally plague my pages and inbox)
Love to you all!!
Amanda
By the way: I allow happily allow anonymous comments but occasionally Blogger marks them as spam... especially if you include a link in the comment. But even if your anonymous post doesn't show up here, do know it still shows up in my inbox. :)
Also, by the way: I usually respond to comments (though I can be slow--grace appreciated), but if you are a "no reply" blogger, do realize that I can't respond to you. It's entirely up to you, but if you would like to keep the conversation going, want a question answered, or just would like to receive a friendly "Thanks for your thoughts" here's how you change your settings so that you can get a response from this girl. :)
