30DT: Day 14

I'm thankful for pumpkin ice cream. I'm thankful for my job. And, I'm thankful when God proves me wrong.

Random??? Well, I couldn't pick just one.

Let's just start at the beginning. About a year ago, God really laid on my heart to start a bible study. He put specific people in mind for me to ask. I said..."no". I mean, of course, it wasn't so blantant. It was actually worse than that. Not only did I say "no", but I my reason behind it was b/c I knew those people wouldn't want to do it. I just figured they had too much on their plate or just wouldn't be interested. So, I ignored it. Well, yesterday morning in my quiet time, I was praying and just have this huge desire to be in a women's bible study again. I miss it! As soon as it came to mind, so did my original thoughts of leading it myself...and those same people came to mind. I tried to tell God the same excuse. However, this time, I just decided to ask people and let their answers show Him that I was right. HA! Has anyone else done this before??? I'm ridiculous! I know His character well enough that I shouldn't doubt or question Him. So I emailed some friends last night....and this morning I had answers from every single one of them saying YES! All I can say is....humility. And, excitement! :) I'm thankful that God proved Himself to me (yet again) and that He has opened this door for this small group to get to know each other better. For us to build friendships and seek the Lord.

Today was my first day back to work after having a whole week off. I would love to have another week off. :) However, I'm thankful I have a job to go back to. This is such a frustrating time in our country...the economy stuggling and unemployment is so high. I'm thankful that I have a job. And, a bonus is that I have some really great friends that I get to work with. I am queen of telling people that I don't focus one building relationships at work. I go and do my thing and then go home. I want to remember my life outside of work....even though that's where most of us spend the majority of our lives. God has really blessed with a few close friends that I get to see on a daily basis. They make my day so much easier!

And...I come home to Braum's Pumpkin Ice Cream. There is NO comparison. Seriously...I've tried them all. Even Blue Bell, people. Nothing compares to Braum's! I wait all year for this yummy goodness. Usually when I go, they are completely out. However, this week I found one container left! YAY!

For a pretty uneventful day, I'm feeling extremely blessed!!! :)
