"Thankful Tuesday"

SORRY! I guess I got happy hitting buttons and accidently hit the "Publish Post" button! Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday! I have not blogged in a while but we have been busy and I have not had a good time to sit down and blog and when I did have time it was too pretty to be inside so I was outside enjoying the weather. Saturday it was BEAUTIFUL here so Caleb and I cleaned house and then headed to the park. We took Abby and she was beside her self. I think she enjoyed getting out and was so interested in all of the other dogs there. She ran and played the whole time and then was out of it on the way home. I love going to the park on a Spring day and having a picnic. I do not have too much to blog about today but I have been very thankful today for the country that we live in. Thinking about Japan and the people their just breaks my heart! I am praying for the precious people their. I cannot imagine trying to find out if all of my family is still alive! May the people of Japan have a peace only from God that passes ALL understanding!
Today I am also thankful for my medicine. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and I take IV infusions. It is rough and does not make me feel very well in the beginning but on days like today I am THANKFUL for those wonderful medicines! It is very rainy and dreary here today!
As silly as it may sound I am also thankful for KOOL- AIDE today! : ) I am trying to eat AND drink healthier! I absolutely LOVE Mountain Dew and think I have to have one everyday and sometimes multiple times a day so I am trying to drink more water and other things that might not be soooo bad. Kool- Aide is definately helping me get through the day today and not crave a Mountain Dew! :) I am loving this flavor right now!!!

I am thankful for the Bible Study we are doing at my church that I have previously talked about called "Jonah" by Priscilla Shirer. Yesterday in my study it talked about how God can hear us no matter how far away from him we seem we may be! God even heard Jonah in the belly of a fish!!!! How awesome is that! I grew up hearing the story of Jonah a lot but this Bible study has allowed me to see the story of Jonah in a whole new way, and for that I am grateful!
I am also thankful today to be able to sub in the schools just about every day of the week. My MIL had surgery about three weeks ago and is still not able to come back so I have been able to fill in for her which has been a blessing in itself, but I have also been able to sub in various schools around where we live. As bad as I want a job right now, I know that God has me where he wants me for such a time as this. I am confident in knowing that when it is time for me to have a job God will see fit that I am right where he wants me! I love teaching and being around kids! May I always remain TEACHABLE!

Last but definately not least I am thankful for the wonderful Husband that God has given me!

Caleb is FAR more than I could have ever imagined a husband being! He is my dream come true! He is the most genuine person I know and I can't believe that I get the privilage of being his wife each and everyday!
