Thursday Thankfulness [April]

This evening I sat outside & listened to the rain. 

I shivered a little bit, but I was captivated by the unsteady beat of the raindrops

on the plastic awning that was keeping me dry. 

24 hours before, I sat at the same coffee shop, in

a T-shirt, finishing a good book in good company. 

On both nights, I found myself thankful.

[Thankfulness today:]
1. Rain
2. Good books
3. Home stretch of school
4. 80 degree sunshine
5. Weekly goals & conviction
6. Finishing fieldwork
7. Learning surrender
8. 1 year of growth [more on this soon]
9. 10-mile runs that don't kill me
10. Bible study
