Today I’m thankful…
…for my job–I’m so glad to be back in the classroom again (as a teacher, that is!)
…for cruise control–with as much traveling as I’ve had to do lately, I don’t know what I’d do without it.
…for Chris Tomlin on my car radio, letting me “multitask” worship and driving :-)
…for a job offer–I enjoyed meeting the care team today and really think I would love working with this facility.
…for an interview–It’s probably my dream job, although it pays significantly less than the offer I’ve already had. Nevertheless, if they deem me their best applicant, they’re willing to wait until January for me. (Which means I might be able to have my cake and eat it too.)
…for lunch with Anna–We’ve been able to lunch together each time I’ve gone up to Columbus for an interview, and it’s so nice to have that informal sister time.
…for being alive despite a brief scare in the car this morning and my incredible drowsiness in the car this afternoon
…for the sermon on humility that met me just where I was at. Just about a year ago, John Piper deviated from his ongoing series in the book of John to talk about humility. It “just happened” to be the next sermon up on my mp3 player this afternoon. (Lord, help me to see the gospel in such a way that would exclude all vain boasting in the flesh.)
…for the Sovereign God, who knows every decision of today, tomorrow, and the rest of my life–and whose hand is in every circumstance that comes my way
