Despite its not-so-great beginning (for any of you who did not have the remarkable privilege<\/i> of seeing me on Sunday, I was a wee bit<\/i> morose), I have been having a wonderful week. <\/p>\n

Today I’m thankful…<\/b><\/p>\n

…for Monday’s bike ride<\/b> and the fellowship I enjoyed with Joanna (I recovered from my little bit of heatstroke<\/a> by Tuesday–but not early enough to attend book club Monday night. It was the first book club meeting I’d missed, which is kinda sad–but I ended up going to bed at a half-way decent hour, which I haven’t<\/i> done since book club began.)<\/p>\n

…for Tuesday’s news<\/b> that I have a job!<\/a> as a TA this semester. (That was an absolute surprise after all the weird events of the summer.)<\/p>\n

…for Wednesday’s chick flick and junk food<\/b> enjoyed with my sister-in-law. (It’s been quite a while since we’ve taken time to be together just the two of us–generally there’s a whole gaggle about!)<\/p>\n

\"Message<\/p>\n

…for the apron<\/b> I was able to get started today. (Since I’ll be teaching a foods lab again, I’ll be wearing aprons quite a bit this semester–and my aprons start feeling old pretty quickly!)<\/p>\n

\"Unfinished<\/p>\n

…for the trip to Nebraska City<\/b> I’m taking tomorrow. (It’s been forever since I saw my friend Tiffany–and I don’t know that I’ve really ever met any of her three kids for any length of time. I’m looking forward to visiting tomorrow.)<\/p>\n

Furthermore, I’m thankful…<\/b><\/p>\n

…for the sweet pickles<\/b> currently brining in my kitchen. (They’ve given me a blessed something to do with my time.)<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

…for the $5 per bolt quilting cotton<\/b> I found at Walmart this week. (To those who have heard me say I’m not buying any more fabric until I use up what I’ve got<\/i>, I apologize for telling an untruth. Since what I’ve got is scrappy, I figured I’d need some fabric for quilt backing–so really, this is just a way to get rid of what I’ve already got, see?)<\/p>\n

\"Bolts<\/p>\n

…for the MP3 player<\/b> that’s been entertaining\/educating me while making an apron, preparing pickles, embroidering, and the like. (I’ve been listening to D.A. Carson’s audio seminar of “The God Who is There”<\/a>. Follow the link to get all 14 sessions in MP3 format for FREE. This is a great seminar.)<\/p>\n

\"MP3<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s still more. I’m thankful…<\/b><\/p>\n

…that I seem to have recovered my muse<\/b> (Have you noticed that I’m doing a bit more writing again?)<\/p>\n

…that I might be regaining my appetite<\/b> (It’s still been a bit spotty, but I think I’m seeing an upward trend.<\/p>\n

…that whether the seesaw swings up or down, my Center holds<\/b>. Christ Jesus is my life, my shelter in the storm, my song in the night. In the ups and the downs, whether I feel Him or not, He is there. And His hand is guiding every step along the way.
