Overwhelming thanks!

I'm just completely overwhelmed today. Today should be my thankful post. I have most of it written out from each day already... in a notebook... in my car. But I'm exhausted and I'm not going to go get it. I'm just going to wing it. I have so much to be thankful for this week, I don't even know where to begin.

I'm thankful for the Show-Me-Center that allowed some awesome artists to come in and perform last Friday. I'm thankful for some awesome friends whom I got to enjoy dinner and a concert with. I'm thankful for the awesome artists who performed at the Show-Me-Center last Friday night, allowing me a night out.

That would be Toby Mac!

I'm thankful to be back to work this week, even if I have to be off again starting next Monday.

I'm thankful for yet another sermon that spoke to me so deeply. Words I just can't get off my mind. Wonderings of what comes next?

I'm thankful for another year!

Thankful for co-workers that make you feel special on your special day.

Thankful for all the special birthday wishes from friends and family. You guys really know how to make a girl feel loved. And I mean that! I think the tears began here... (You'll understand what I mean if you keep reading)

I'm thankful for the ability to spend most of the week in the kitchen making and baking treats to share with others.

I'm thankful for ladies who love to give when they are able!

These donations are headed to Brookport, Illinois for tornado victims.

I'm thankful this quarter is almost over for Devin because I honestly cannot take anymore. 8th grade is hard. (He could really use some prayers Friday if you would please)

I'm thankful that the package our women's group put together for the children in Belize finally made it there this week, in time for Christmas! I also can't wait to meet these Belizeans I have heard so much about already.

There is so much more I could share but really all my heart wants to say in this post is THANK YOU!

I sit here in tears yet again, completely overwhelmed by events of the day. Some tears of frustration.

But mostly tears of overwhelming gratitude.

 Someone sent me the absolute kindest, most thoughtful Christmas card today. They choose not to sign it and I respect that, but I really want to tell them thank you! I pray God leads you, whomever you may be, to read this. That was quite possibly the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever said and done for me. I pray God blesses you in ways you could never imagine! He is truly already doing that for me. I am blessed with sooo many wonderful people in my life. (Aaaakk... more tears just thinking about all of you! Seriously.) If your are reading this you can be pretty sure you are probably one of them. I could have never have imagined how rewarding and fulfilling living life in the middle of the will of God could/can be. Not saying I'm there all the time, but I am saying, you all are a huge part of that!

I am so blessed and for that I say...

THANK YOU!
