365 grateful – day 13-16 – home
Day 13 – May 22nd – home sweet home
I’m grateful for sleeping in our own bed, cooking our own food, and seeing our excited puppies. Sampson whined with excitement for a good 15 minutes while he ran around the house and back into my arms. Every time we let them outside that day he would first run over to the car as if to say “Please don’t leave me again! I’ll go with you!”
Day 14 – May 23rd – cooking together
After a week of craziness and traveling and sleeping on couches and eating out every meal I’m grateful to be back in our own kitchen.
Day 15 – May 24th – talking through what the other really needs
I read a twitter post Monday morning that said – “What if we told you there was ONE thing your spouse needed more than anything else? Do you know what it is?…”
This really intrigued me so at dinner last night I asked Tim what he really needed from me. Not only did it give me something really tangible to work with – it allowed us to speak about our needs candidly and without defensiveness.
Day 16 – May 25th – good food. good friends.
Tonight we went to a potluck. Good food, good friends. What’s more to say?
Day 17 – May 26th – new beginnings
Well… I’m done. The senior girls that I’ve lead for the past 4 years have gone and graduated from youth group. Leading this amazing group of girls has been humbling for sure, but has also been such a blessing. I thought I was going to cry as I stood up and talked about each one, but as I looked out at their faces I knew that this wasn’t goodbye. This was only the beginning. I’m going to miss them, but I am so excited to see what God is going to do through each one of them.
