Day 2 of Gratitude
What is one thing you love about yourself?
Talking about myself has always been difficult for me. I don't mean that in a "Oh, I'm soooo humble, I can't imagine talking about myself!" kind of way. I'm not trying to boast, here. I'm meaning that Jesus has been with me on a journey of discovering who I am, and how to love myself the same . . .
Thankful November
30 days of thankfulness begins!
It's November 1st. A fresh start to a new month! With that in mind, I'm going to be blogging for 30 days about thankfulness.

Stretching and Molding
This past week, I was asked to decorate the classrooms at Hixson United Methodist Church. Among the busyness of the past week, I was grateful for a moment to breathe as I hung posters.
