Thankfulness...

So you know those moments when it just hits you? What have you been doing? Why have you been doing it? Who is all this work for? I had such a moment the other day. I feel like I have been doing, doing, doing and not taking the time with God to make sure I'm following His will. So with all this "doing" there has been little peace. I was just reminded that God gives peace to thankful hearts. So here is a little list of things I'm thankful for...

- Christmas break is almost here
- Friends to share pineapple with
- Roommates that make you laugh
- Prayer with the school staff even when I don't feel like taking the time
- My Sharpeners girls
- Friends and family back home as excited as I am about the fact that I'm coming home
- Frozen Tampicos when the power goes out
- Generators
- Beth Moore Bible studies
- My students who teach me about childlike faith
- Packages
- Maya (even though she bites everyone!)
- Alias Nights
- Worship at the Wright's
- Seeing kids worship at chapel each week
- Seeing the kids excited faces at the "snack shack" each day

That's a pretty good list for now...
