Little did she know...

I'm learning to be intentionally thankful every day, so here's some thanks from this summer: for 3 days and 2 nights with these hooligans, learning how to apply theology to our relationships and trying not to get eaten by bugs. for finding this stalker pic that my nephew took on my camera. FTW. for fresh flowers on the kitchen table, always.  for sunset chasing, even if it means just climbing on the garage roof. for reminders that West River will always beat East River any day also, the views from the top of the world? The best. (ps, that tiny hiker is my fav) for reunions in my living room for silhouettes and unsuspecting fire guys. for coffee shops that know what's up #starbuckswho for a whole summer with these two dudes #squad #comebackPhil  "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow ...

Bonus: making new friends. Reuniting with Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil and learning about planning ministry trips with my brother. Also realizing that I am super thankful I have flexible and roll-with-the-punches relatives. NYC on a 10 hour layover. I needed more time. 30 June when I got the heart stopping news of my friend's death in the Yarnell Hill Fire in Prescott, AZ . Still takes my breath away. Still marveling in how much God's grace is shown through it all.  Summer,  when I remembered how to steam milk for a latte and scoop up ice cream cones and was thankful for culture coming to visit me when I couldn't ...

a little bit of Jason Gray. music: ok. cheesy level: expert.     seriously have been listening to Selah for forever... I almost could not handle seeing them live. I love it when an artist sounds even better in real life than they do on the album.           Todd talking about something fabulous. ;)        Bebo Norman giving a great little acoustic set.     David Crowder in disguise on the keyboard. heh. Big Daddy Weave doing their thing. Appreciate their hearts.
