Grace in the small things

So its a new year and I am going to purpose this year to get back into counting my grace in the small things. I don't know if they will be every day or every week but at least once a week I am going to post about how God has blessed me in that week!

The first Grace comes along with a picture. I am SO THANKFUL for whoever saw my lights on my truck turned on after I came back from lunch on Thursday. They took down my employee parking number and through that Reception was able to track me down and let me know my lights were on.

Thursday night I worked overtime and didn't leave untill after 8:30, I am so thankful I did not leave then to discover my battery was dead! Instead I found out at 3 pm, and later that afternoon Shane, our erstwhile Security guy, came outside with me with this handy box charger and charged my battery! It was fabulous! It was only on my battery for like 2 mins and then i just sat in my truck and let everything charge. I have jumper cables but I so need one of those boxes!

Thursday was a kind of up and down day, with my truck and then my computer broke, but there was a moment that was just SO GOOD, I had a student come in upset and needing help and on the verge of tears. By the time she left we were able to fix her entire problem and totally change her day. Instead of her being stressed out and upset she was SO HAPPY and relieved and It was just such a great feeling! It reminded me why I was there and why I love what I do! I love being able to help people and totally change their day.

I did have a list of 4 other big graces but my brain has went on vacation and I can't remember them.

I will say that this week I have purposefully been trying to find the good and the blessings in everything. Last week I had such a horrible week and was in such a bad mood, I knew I didn't want to continue on with that or start another year with such a nasty black heart.

Small Graces:

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...
