i'm thanking You, today, for:

• Yui.  Who today, during quiet time, was a couple tables away, facing me, blankly looking at me, and eating his Korean Raman. (:
• Isaac.  And how he is the first person I think of when I think "my brother."  What a gift he is.
• Kari.  Her presence in my life.  I feel like You gave her to me, on my floor, to know and love.
• Sarah and Winter.  Those girls are joy to me.
• the color yellow.
• the "When Harry Met Sally" soundtrack that makes me feel cozy and like Fall is here.
• Madeline and Abby.  Wow, I like them a lot!  Holy cow, when I met them this weekend, I instantly wanted to be their best friends!  Cool girls, God.  What a delight.
• Settling my heart and reminding me of your goodness.
• Rachel... that girl is Your heart revealed to me, Father.
• cups of apple cider and reflecting on a year ago.
• defining my worth and doing it so well.
• Fall.  Oh, Lord, thank You for Fall.
• Afton.  That girl, is Your heart.
• how these people feel like home.  My heart feels at home among them.
• Your love.  I don't understand it, but my heart is so lavished by it.
