Thankful Thursday, Take 123

Thanking God this week for...

• the wealth of information available online, even if it is completely overwhelming at times
• inspiration for creativity
• last week's fabulous vacation with our families (post coming soon)
• my camera
• gospel-centered, Kingdom-focused prayer requests
• my hardworking, resourceful, creative and talented husband
• the beauty of a novel like Les Miserables
• the fact that our couch cushions have removable, washable covers--highly necessary after The Great Poop Debacle of 2009 (you don't want to know)
• the fact that I can laugh about said poop debacle
• speaking directly to me through sermons and books, meeting me right where I am
• using trials to produce perseverance, character, hope and joy in me
