blessed beyond all measure...
- time with tiffany two days in a row!
- rails to trails with emma and LJ
- foster care (impact) classes are complete
- wings and swimming and sweet time with the walls
- approx. 12 minutes at dr. mansfield's office for LJ's appointment (and getting to see Amanda's murals in person!!!)
- "you give me joy down deep in my soul." - JOY sung by Vashawn Mitchell (or the CCC worship team!)
- eli and caroline serving all day long
- treading water for an hour and real talk
- "orientation interview" with anna marie from Lifeline - hung up the phone (well, pressed the "end call button") feeling encouraged and refreshed rather than defeated
- apple dumplings (and not sharing them)
- clare's teaparty that emma was able to go to (thanks to Molly and Grandaddy!!)
- "blessed beyond all measure...counting every blessing...letting go and trusting...surely every season you are good to me...." - rend collective
- ling ling (chinese food) at yaya's (that'll make the thankful list every time!)
- the right song at the right time
- nick bought me a whole cinnamon roll pound cake...and it is delicious (and tastes even better because buying it helps the brannigans get to costa rica!)
- molly's willingness to keep kids so that date night could happen
- brandon and katherine hosted the middle schoolers even though they don't have middle schoolers
- walking into caroline's room and seeing her reading the Word
- ordinarily extraordinary moments between a brother and his littlest sister
