(some -alot!- of these are assumptions...if they end up not being true i'll let you know!)
- i got to take a nap! (that's convenient since i was up at 4:30 in the morning!)
- everything wrapped up well at the IOC (final presentations included)
- i got to see molly! sweet sweet time with a sweet sweet friend
- everything fit (in some way or another) into our luggage and carry-ons
- i talked to my mom on the phone
- fun postcards from michigan!
- the ability to schedule a blog post
- the button on my long shorts...i like it (and if it wasn't there i would certainly miss it)
- eli's willingness to help pack -- "what can i do to help?" one of my favorite questions
- we made it to ghana safely!!! (assumption)
- emma and nick playing "you can't catch me"
- french toast for lunch
- the lady who works in the cafeteria who says "hey lady!"
- the book of psalms for alicia
- knowing that people are praying for us
- getting to trust God more
- the coke on the airplane (assumption)
- the excitement of joining what God is up to in Ghana
- stretching (i'm not a big "stretch before i exercise" kind of girl....but a good "sttttrrrretch" feels so nice!!)
- if you took the "e" off of "so nice" and smashed the words together, you would have "sonic." i like sonic ice. it's so nice.
- "guest meal vouchers" for the anchorage cafe at the IOC (a gift for shredding paper last week. shredding the paper was a gift in and of itself!!!)
- how "be thou my vision" tends to be a song that really sticks in my head for a while
i am NOT going to try and make a thankful thursday list for july 26...just wanted to go ahead and tell you so that you won't be too terribly disappointed when it doesn't happen (though it may end up happening if we have any sort of internet access in ghana). feel free to make your own list and email it to me diannacash@yahoo.com :) -- then maybe i'll do a huge "thankful thursday from my friends" compilation. maybe.
much grace, loads of peace, tons of blessing to you.
