thankful days 12-13

Day 12: I am thankful for a good Saturday- to spend time with family, do homework, and work :)

Day 13: I am thankful for a moment in my life when I came to know Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. It has made all the difference...

Days 9-11 giving thanks

Day 9: I am thankful for the ability to have 2 flexible jobs. It is lovely to be able to leave for extended periods of time or need random days off and still have both of the jobs. Both jobs give me hours that very very rarely ever coincide with meeting- it is great and something I am very thankful for! Sunridge Village Retirement has given me 5+ years of experience and Hap Abraham Catering has given me almost 3 years of some of the most interesting experiences and opportunities. I am thankful for my jobs.

Day 10: I am thankful for the Rockstars- Burke High School's students with moderate to severe disabilities. Each one is so unique, so talented. They conquer their fears and find the courage to overcome disabilities, to perform in front of large crowds, to persevere to take steps. They stole my heart... again- as they each performed in the musical!

 Hannah (in the purple) singing :)

 Andy and Miranda- a song that brought tears and many cheers in the end!

 Oh Curtis... being blind doesn't hold him back :) I remember singing with you in front of the school at an assembly but a few years ago. :)

 Miss Becca and I- she graduated last year, but her hugs are the best :)

* I have a great video of them singing, but I will post it later! *

Day 11: Today I am thankful for freedom. The United States of America is called "the land of the free." Americans honor Veterans and soldiers today and remember the freedoms that they have fought for and the freedom we have here.

Day 8 Thankful

Day 8: I am thankful for my placement for my practicum hours. God has provided me with a great opportunity to get hands on experience in the classroom, while being able to practice my poor Spanish skills. Not having a Spanish class this semester had me worried, but I am having GREAT practice with the kids, while being able to do something I love- help children learn :)

Thankful.3

Day 7: I am thankful for the many opportunities I have had to travel. Traveling is something I love to do- whether on 4 wheels or in a plane. Without the support of my family I would never have seen the parts of the world that I have-Canada, Ukraine, Amsterdam, Guatemala, El Salvador, and many parts of the USA and Mexico! Traveling has taught me many lessons about myself and about the world and I can't wait to plan my next trip :)

It's Sunday- and I thankful day 6

Day 6- I'm thankful today that I can gather this another Lord's Day to remember the One who died for me. What a wonderful thing it is to be able to gather around the table each Sunday and be able to worship Him. The One who gave His all for me at the cross.

Thankful day 3-5

I know, I am already getting behind! However, I am still thankful despite of my postings!

November 3 (day 3): I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to attend university to obtain a degree. The chance to become educated at the University of Nebraska at Omaha has helped me to extend my education, be a testimony before others, and has given me many other opportunities that have benefited me as well! I have grow from the experiences and have strengthened my faith. University is not easy- from all aspects, but God has given me the opportunity to learn skills and get a higher education that will help me in my service for Him.

Day 4: Days like today, when I am in an elementary school with 18 kids sneezing, coughing, sniffing, and blowing  germs all around me, I am thankful for the health I have been given. Thankfully, so far, I have a strong immune system and thankfully it takes alot to make me sick (aside from the occasional food encounter!).

Day 5: I am thankful for today. A Saturday that has been productive and enjoyable. A Saturday when I am not spending hours on my feet catering, but a day with my family. Family pictures that were successful, a meal where we are all together, a little shopping, a little nap, an unexpected paycheck, muffins made and an afternoon at home each of us doing our own activities lots of homework done, and breakfast for supper all as a family again! Yeah, today was a good day and I am thankful. Oh- AND I get an extra hour of sleep :) :)

Thankful day 1 and 2

November is a month that reminds Americans about being thankful. With Thanksgiving-a day of thankfulness at the end of the month, I would like to just share what I am thankful for on each day of this month (days 1-30).

Day 1: I am thankful for a home that I can come to- that has air condition AND heat. A home that contains my room, a bed, food, and the necessities.

Day 2: I am thankful for the invention of the heated blanket/mattress cover! As it snows/rains outside my window, I am thankful that I have one that was given to me as a gift. I am not one for liking to be cold- so what a wonderful thing to be able to be warmed! :)

I hope I don't bore you with these posts- but you don't have to read them!! :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
