We are at the end of our month of gratitude journey!
Today I am grateful for God
EVERY.
SINGLE.
DAY.
I am grateful for God. He is everything to me.
I am thankful for everything he is doing, everything he has done, everything he will do.
I am so grateful!

Today I’m grateful for photography.
We are almost at the end of this journey. I hope that my attitude of gratitude is much more developed after this

Photography has always been a part of my life. My dad is a Nikon man from WAY back in the day. I’ve owned a camera [...]

Today I am grateful for my little family!

We are silly and goofy, and we fight sometimes. But I know God put us together for a reason and a purpose beyond my understanding. I know that I will never truly grasp that until God may show me his purposes in heaven. But sometimes [...]

I’m grateful for alone time.

I have always needed time alone. When I was growing up I was the only girl, so I always had my own bedroom (WOOT!) I always had a place where I could go in, close the door, and think or read or even mope [...]

Today I’m grateful for Seattle.

I have to admit, Seattle is FAR from home! Seattle is far from the East Coast, its far from the Midwest, but for right now, its where God wants us to be.
Seattle is lovely and vibrant. It is teeming with rain and people and art. Seattle is a [...]

Today I’m grateful for Thanksgiving!
I’m grateful for turkey, and family, and green bean casserole, and squash, and pecan pie, and pumpkin pie, and God’s gift of the life to me!

Today I’m grateful for homeschooling.
6 years ago, Jaylie was attending kindergarten at public school. She was 5 and sweet and innocent, and she rode the bus. EEP!!! Riding the bus was the freakiest thing. She was surrounded by bigger kids with bigger mouths and much older attitudes. We lived in [...]

Today I’m grateful for our van.
I’m grateful for a vehicle. I’m grateful for one that runs. I’m grateful for tire chains!
(BTW, it took Jon 10 hours to get home from work yesterday! EEEP!!)

I’m grateful for….snow?
Oh man, yesterday the speaker at our church talked about being grateful and not complaining.
This morning I woke up to snow. I am not a fan of snow, at all, but I’m not going to complain.

5 things I love about snow:
1) Snow mutes the world a bit, everything [...]

Today I’m grateful for my friends.
So I’m kind of weird. (duh) I’ve always had this battle between being friendly and being melancholy. The two are NOT particularly mutually exclusive, but for me they have been. I’ve always kind of had a little black cloud following me, but I like people [...]

Today I am grateful for a roof over my head.

We have been renting this same house for 5 years now. Its not perfect, far from it actually, but its home for now! I’m thankful that we have a home. I’m thankful that we can afford to rent a single family domicile and [...]

Today I’m grateful for my homeschool Co-ops!
For the last year and a half I have ventured out into the world of homeschooling co-ops. I must admit that it hasn’t been easy to get them all up and out the door and sit in classes and nurseries all day pregnant and with a [...]

Today I’m grateful for my kids….or at least I’m trying to be

5 things I love about EACH of my kids

#1
a. She is super helpful
b. She has a great dry sense of humor
c. She doesn’t care much about what people thing about her.
d. She has great style.
e. [...]

I’m grateful for my health. Especially when I’m sick.
I have lived my life with very few health problems! Praise the Lord!

Today I’m grateful for God’s word!
Over the years I’ve had issues with reading my Bible regularly. I have memorized things here and there just BEING a pastor’s daughter and just BEING in church every week for years and years, but I’ve had trouble cultivating a rhythm of regular study. This year I started [...]
