30 Days of Thankfulness

November 3rd - Today I am thankful for Lacie Habekott.

Now, I understand the 3rd is our 1 month anniversary...and I fully intended to have that as what I was thankful for, but our evening got even better. Our friend from church, Lacie, came over to visit with us about what she is doing and the path God has her on right now. She is a full-time staff member with Campus Crusade for Christ in their Military Ministry. She will be working at the U.S. Naval Base in Colorado Springs, CO doing evangelism and christian leadership (check out her webpage here). I am so thankful that she is taking a stand for Christ in an area that most people don't think about. I am thankful that she cares so much about the men and women that fight for our country. I am so very thankful to see how God has used circumstances in her life to use her for His ministry! I am so thankful that she is enjoying her single-life and giving her time to ministry! I am so thankful that she is excited about what God is doing! I am so thankful for what God is doing!!!! It was so great to meet with her! We are excited to support her through this ministry!!! We are excited to stand in the Throne Room with her....PACK THE PLACE, Lacie!!!!
(And, also, I just have say that we ate the top of our wedding cake...1 month anniversary...and it was AMAZING!!!! So thankful for Ms. Laura's!!!)

November 4th - Today I am thankful for my husband.

Ken and I had plans to work on the house, which our usual plan for our Wednesdays off. However, as we were starting to plan our day I got really frustrated. I am so tired of our house looking cramped and cluttered with random, not matching furniture! I'm tired of it not looking put together and pretty. And, honestly I know we've only been in it TOGETHER for about a month, but I am tired of working on it. Every room has to be re-done and some days its really over-whelming. To make matters worse, I've been sick for about 3 weeks. Its ridiculous!!! I got sick and took a couple days off work to get over it. It wasn't an infection, but I was on sudafed and ended up getting Ken sick too. I then went back to work for a week, but that weekend I felt worse! This past Monday, I went to see the dr and it had turned into an infection and I've been on antibiotics for the last 3 days. With all of that said....today, I didn't think much of being sick because I am READY TO BE OVER IT! With everything we had to do, I sat down and was exhausted...and Ken told me to lay down and nap. I didn't want to...I feel guilty...I want to cry....I'm just frustrated....I'll be ok!!! The next the I know, I'm asleep for a good 2.5 hours. He keeps working and doing things around the house...all while I'm sleeping! I have to say that when I woke up, I felt a million times better (and was able to actually get some things done)! I wasn't as cold or tired or cranky anymore. I am so thankful that I have a husband who loves me! I am so thankful that I have a husband who cares about me feeling better! I am so thankful that I have a husband who is selfless! I am so thankful that I have a husband who loves me despite my attitude! I am so thankful that I have a husband who is willing to take care of our house and me! I am so thankful that he loves me!
