Today I'm thankful for the hour my car could sit in the sun so when I started to drive away, the sheet of ice that was formerly firmly solidified on the roof could slide right down both windshields. What a satisfying feeling.

I'm thankful for three wonderful informational interviews about possible site placements for my service year program. They left me rather brain-dead and with a lot of thinking and discerning to do, but I am at peace with this direction for next fall.

I'm thankful for a lovely dinner getting to know another wonderful Carleton woman a little bit better, all while enjoying Mardi Gras specialties in the dining hall (and my fave dessert that I could not pass up, flourless chocolate torte!).

And I'm thankful for these three easy steps to reconnecting with God from my Encouragement of the Day email:
"We can miss being with God, but we also can miss the movement God is doing in our lives. Missing God {either way} is tragic and threatening to our souls that long to thrive with God."
1. Find our God-space. (Take two minutes, or two hours, whatever you need, but try to be intentional about that time to get all filled up with the Spirit).
2. Experience the awe of God. (Life's not all rainbows all the time. Try to notice all the large and small ways God is working in your life, and how amazing beyond comprehension God is!).
3. Have ears that listen {always}. (Listening is a pretty huge part of communication. We don't have to figure out life all on our own. Listen for God to show you the way).
