The seasons are changing...schedules are changing...routines will change. It's that time of year, and it gives me so much to thank and praise God for! It's good to be thankful...but it's essential to know to Who those thanks and praises go. I am thankful to God my Father, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for all the blessings He gives me every day, and in this new season of school and cooler weather.
Today's post is really late...but I am so thankful for that because it means that today is the first day of our four-day weekend. :) Joshua has two extra days off between his summer job, and school starting on Monday.
I am thankful for cooler weather! We've had the windows open every night. It's so wonderful. I'm very ready for fall!
I am thankful that my friends are coming back to campus this weekend! It's been a quiet summer...I'm so excited to see some very special people.
I'm so thankful for work. I LOVE the people whose houses I clean. I enjoy working catering at school. And I'm so excited to get back to working at the library on Monday!!!
I'm thankful for financial blessings. The bill for our schoolbooks this year was terrifying, but thanks to financial aid it's all covered! We were even able to help out my brother-in-law with buying books for his freshman year.
I'm thankful for family! In the last week my parents have celebrated their anniversary and both their birthdays, and my brother's birthday is tomorrow. Plus we spent last weekend at Joshua's parents. Our family is amazing. I love them so much. <3
I am so thankful for the school we go to. We have amazing professors, and it's such a blessing to be on a Christian campus. I get to go to chapel every day this semester, and I am looking forward to that so much. I'm also in three classes with Joshua and three with my best girlfriend, and that is an incredible blessing!
I am thankful that I get to be in "advance" hand bells, and choir, this semester. I love music, I love the directors, and I can't wait to be involved in our annual Christmas concert in December. It's also one of my favorite ways to praise Jesus--through music!
I love all the new things that come with this new season. It's a reminder of how good and great our God really is!!

Did you make A Cappella this year? Congrats!
ReplyDeleteNo, "advance" only applies to bells. I'm still in Women's Chorale. Blersch is great. :)
DeleteWell, congratulations anyways! I've heard terrific things about Blersch as a choir director; I had him for organ, and he really is an excellent teacher, the kind who never gives up on his students.
DeleteI hope you and Josh have a wonderful year; I will be at Concordia in spirit.
Your blog is uplifting to me; I read it everytime you post.
