A Smattering of Thanks

Continuing on with my "One Thousand Gifts, Costa Rica Style," I give you:

46) Worship Night... Dual worship with Di from across the room, harmonizing in English & Spanish

51) Hebrews 4:16, and the quote Evan sent me. "Lord, I crawled across the barrenness to You with my empty cup... If only I had known You better, I'd have come running with a bucket." -- Nancy Spiegelberg

58) THE MVCC TEAM IS HERE! Seeing people from home is balm to my spirit.

59) Setting up my massage chair

67) Van ride to the ocean on our free day... seeing crocs, loud music and so much laughter

69) Walking the beach -- watching the sun set -- falling asleep to the sound of the waves

73) UNO games so intense, they make you sweat!

80) Realizing anew that the armor of God is made specifically for me. I'm not a kid playing dress-up, I have the armor of a warrior princess

89) The breezes that sweep through this house when all the windows and doors are open

92) Looking around the room and being overcome with the feeling of how lucky I am to be serving alongside these amazing people

99) Evan's stability and the kindness in his voice when I call freaking out

104) An unexpected donation which will cover two months of my weekly tutoring, starting in January.

106) Watching fireworks through the kitchen window

111) Telling Jack, "I have a secret for you" on Skype, and having him yell "I KNOW!! YOU LUB ME!"

114) "God is plotting for your joy"
