Today I'm thankful for the jewelry store that could replace my watch batteries in just seven minutes after I ran to the mall, coupon from my mom in hand, upon realizing the only time I ever use a watch is when I go to foreign countries (otherwise I tend to use my cell phone as my timekeeping device).
I'm thankful for Skype dates, silly voices, and giggles that last for hours and way past anyone's bedtime.
I'm thankful for the opportunity to see some of my church members' talents outside of church in a community production of "It's a Wonderful Life." It truly is a blessing to see others' gifts they have been blessed with outside of the normal context in which I interact with them, especially those who have encouraged acting, drama, and dance within our church itself! Not to mention the gorgeous voice and vibrato that poured forth from the character of Mary. She was amazing. I'll try to remember my voice envy as not true envy but as inspiration!
And I'm beyond grateful for my papa's willingness to get up at 4:30am to drive me to the airport so I can hop from Minneapolis to Miami, and then Miami to Havana! So, 3pm tomorrow I am hoping dearly to be on that plane from Miami to Havana. No news is good news for the next couple weeks. Wish me safety and suerte!
I'll leave you with a quote that one of my friends posted today: "Why then did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes any love or goodness or joy worth having." - C.S. Lewis.
Thanks for following, and God willing, I'll be in touch soon!
