Thankful Thursday ~
10 Things You May Not Know About Me

For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
~ Psalm 139:13-14 (ESV)

Wow, Lynn came up with a theme for Thankful Thursday that stumped me a little bit. The problem is that I have shared so much over the past 5 years, that I am not sure if I can come up with 10-new-things-you-don’t-know-about-me. But I will give it a try:

  • I don’t see well at night, so I wear glasses when I have to drive
  • My dad got really upset with me when I had my ears pierced (I was 18)
  • I do not like arguments, so I avoid them as much as I can
  • Although I love to sing, I never played an instrument
  • I didn’t know the term ‘saving grace’ until I was 35
  • I am generally a very quiet person
  • I rather give than receive
  • I get really silly when over-tired
  • I snort when laughing really hard (I start crying ‘cuz I can’t stop laughing)
  • I really, really, really like ‘Retro Pepsi’ (it is made with real sugar)

Not sure if I shared something new with you, but I didn’t want to miss out on Thankful Thursday. I am glad that God made me unique. Although I could use a little more self-esteem, I am proud who I am and Who I belong to.

Thank you for stopping by today. Don’t forget to stop by Lynn’s blog to hock-up with other Thankful Thursday bloggers. Remember: you are fearfully and wonderfully made by Him who holds the world in His hands.

Congratulations to Bethany and Joshlin

Congratulations to Bethany and Joshlin for winning a gift card to a book store of your choice. I have sent out an email to you to find out which online bookstore you prefer.

Thank you all for making my birthday month a memorable one. Not sure what my next year will bring; trusting God for His guidance.

One thing I am working on is my first gallery for Visual Peacemakers 😉 . Sure, I do not travel abroad, but I read a wonderful article by Jerod Foster that made me think of photographs that I took right here in Phoenix.

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a blessed week,

Thankful Thursday ~ Care Package

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
~ Psalm 57:9 (ESV)

Care PackageSeveral weeks ago I mentioned how grateful I am for the weekly calls with my mom. They always lift my spirit. There is one thing that is more exciting than the weekly calls; the times I get a care package from home.

I get them three times a year: Easter, Christmas and my birthday 🙂 . This year for my birthday I requested some “Erdnussflips”. Oh, they are so yummy. I am rationing them to myself, because I could eat a bag in one sitting. I think for Christmas I would like 4 bags (pretty please, mom).

I am thankful that my mom takes time selecting things that bring a smile to me face (like the birthday card “from the heart”). Oh, my heart so longs to stroll down-town Hannover with my mom next to me. Although I could not make it this year, my mom and I are planning to fly me out in Spring of 2011 – YEAH!

What are you thankful for this week? Please share with us by leaving your link to your Thankful Thursday post below. I will be hosting one more time this month; in October we are meeting over at my friend Lynn’s blog “Spiritually Unequal Marriage“; my friend Laurie will be hosting in November at “Women Taking a Stand“.

One more thing before I ‘sign-off’ today: check out this week’s giveaway.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: little care packages or notes can cheer up a friend 🙂 …
