I Will Worship!

Today's praise and thankfulness list!


Tomorrow is Friday!

We get to dress down, so I can wear a t-shirt and denim. :D

I'm going out with Mom almost every Saturday to places all over Britain.

This Saturday we're going to a castle and the beach in Wales!

God put good friends in my life. :) Friends who mentor me, encourage me and try to heal my insecurity without shunning me because of it.

My new fantasy novel, which I'm intensely intrigued by (it was started by a dream as I had a nap on my desk at work).

I've just applied to a singing concert in Solihull, thanks to my sister's Auntie Chris who knows all the right places to go. :D I just have to pay and show up!

I have my 425 Squadron hoodie and my 196 Squadron t-shirt. *happy*

I'm getting better at dancing with Mr. Invisible. ;)

Work is going well at the moment and my bosses are happy with me. :)

Dreams of going for flight attendant, depending on how things work out.

Plans seem to be moving forward towards buying a home for Mom and me, God willing.

Every time I get to babysit at my sister's, I can watch Doctor Who. And every time I babysit at my brother's, I can also watch Doctor Who. ...and use the internet. :D

I'm thankful for Spotify! It has availability for wondrous musics. :D

The way that Twitter's DM system works with my mobile phone, so I can text my American friends at a normal text charge rate.

The crisis counselling course I'm hoping to take.

That I got to even APPLY for Britain's Got Talent. :)

My CI papers are through from the Squadron, so hopefully I'll be back involved with that soon.

My autobiography

My other novels :P

Books!

God's Word, and His answer to my prayer, increasing and developing my hunger and desire and interest in His Word! Praise You, Father!

The way God teaches every attribute and characteristic IF we search for HIM in EVERY circumstance and situation!

Like love! And hope! And trust! He's teaching me hope and trust at once. :D

I want to say how thankful I am for my beautiful daughters; Calleigh, Nav, Bethy, Rie (Mary Beth) and Robin. You are special, amazing, talented and through-and-through thoroughly BEAUTIFUL young women. I love you so much. :)

My amazing friends and amazing adoptive family. <3

My birth-and-blood siblings.

My amazing mother. I love you Mom. I love spending the Saturdays hanging out with you. It's so cool to be spending time in my beloved country's beloved history, with the most beloved woman in my life. ;) Don't forget that. I _love_ it.

My mentors and closest friends: Jay Lauser, Brendan Hanley, Kyle Johnston, Keifer Lucchi, William Beard, Rachel Werner, Mama Lauser, Kristin Dodd, Katie Comstock, Adrienne Niceley and Anjelica Childs.

That's a lot more than I'd normally admit to. ;) Thank you for sticking by me when I tried to kick you out, loving me unconditionally, not letting go on me even when I backed off, and - staying. Thank you so much for staying. More than I can say.

Lord God Almighty. You are _so_ good to me. <3 I love You...so little. TEACH ME to LOVE You MORE! Ever more, ever increasing, Father, come into me, fill me and change me into Your image, depth, love and likeness! <3

Outta 'Arm's Way

It's painful. And it's sore. It's so sore I spend washtime dabbing water on portions of my skin because if I shower properly, I end up crying with pain. It's inherited genetically. I remember Daddy telling me his started when he was 19. It went all over his entire body - including his face. He had the wet kind - weeping, they call it - on his face. He had to go to work every day like that. And he said he felt disgusting, like a leper. Until he took aloe vera tablets, which reduced his eczema to some kind of controllable level. It started when I was a kid. Behind the backs of my knees and in the crooks of my arms. Then it faded until I only had it occasionally on the elbow of my right arm. Last year, it flared up again. REALLY bad. On my arms. Then I went to America. It was bad when I arrived. Came back a little in Oregon due to the dryness of the air. But otherwise, it was cleared. I forgot I had ever had eczema. Then I came home. And started work. ...

My Battle with Modesty

WARNING: I'm not sure about the appropriateness of this for guys...so if you think it's bad, stop reading. Okay? I read Jay Lauser’s excellent post on A New Kind of Modesty (which you really, really, really should read, though I won’t post it up seven times like my big sister C’rissie :P) yesterday, and thought I would like to blog my struggle and weakness in that area for...encouragement? General opinion? Not quite sure, although it certainly wasn’t out of self consideration. :P Then I read C’rissie’s post connected with Jay’s, A Rant on Modesty ;), which you can read here . And decided that I felt too embarrassed after reading that, because they were both so good and covered the ground enough, so I wouldn’t. Well, this morning, I changed my mind. (Although after rereading it again just, with all the comments, I feel quite small about posting this...*hits send before I rethink*) It’s not too often that I gain a victory over my worldliness to be happy in the clothes I’m weari...

Best Time of My Life ~ Now

You know those points in life where things just hit you? It came to me as I was washing up in the kitchen, snuggled in my fluffy grey dressing gown, the electric light off and the warm glow of the sunset fading in through the window, Michael Card's Celtic music playing in the background. I'm 21. And finally life seems to be coming, in a way. So many plans and hopes and dreams buzzing through my head, so much that is likely to and so easily can be smashed. "I'm fine on my own," I said aloud, laughed, looked up and sighed. These moments where I'm the only one in the house and can talk out loud on everything with God - cause He already knows it - and know the intimate closeness of Him in my spirit. "No, I'm not. But I'm okay with that. You're here, and You'll be with me until the time is right." Marriages are sprouting up all around me as my friends begin to pair off, and the middle-aged-21 crisis struck me. Not so much because...
