days of thanks: day 13.

phew! is the weekend over already? where did it go!? i'm writing this entry while curled up in bed; i'm a sleepy girl! its been a fun weekend and i'm really not ready to say hello to monday yet, but i haven't figured out yet how to delay the end of a weekend. {sigh.}

today was a special day in church; one of our 10th grade guys went forward with his testimony today and was baptized. there is something so purely beautiful about a young person taking a stand for God. it just makes my heart smile! and what was super cool is that joe {see previous post} was able to be the one who led him to Christ a few weeks ago. i just love the people that God lets me do life with!

hmm, speaking of people who God lets me do life with..i guess i will introduce you to the subject of my next day of thanks entry: the lovely ms. kim. she's on my mind today because i spent the last half of my day with her.

-13-

i am so very thankful for my ms. kim!

{oct 28th, 2011--inside an organ in a church in olde town portsmouth..yes, INSIDE! cross it off her bucket list, folks.}

{this was immediately after a drizzly ghost walk through olde town..which i highly recommend!}

to say that this woman is amazing is an understatement. i have known kim since i was probably about 3 or 4..and i am blessed enough to have her as my supervisor at work. this woman has the ability to smile and laugh during hard times, and has experienced the Lord's presence in some amazing ways. {her stories give me goosebumps!} kim inspires me to wait on God, to always trust Him, and to love unconditionally. her soul is beautiful; she's the type of person who stays up late to make little somethings for everyone for a holiday, will never tell you that she's in need of something, and will offer you whatever it is you need before you can even realize you're in need.

to summarize: i am thankful for the privilege of knowing and loving someone as inspiring as my ms. kim! and i am thankful that i am able to laugh with her, cry with her, and learn how to act like Jesus from her. <3

*and ps! the last few minutes of the jets v. patriots game are still ticking away..a friend of mine from high school is playing! dad called me a little while ago to say he'd seen him on tv returning a kickoff. now, i love my colts, but i might have a new team to root for. if you're not a fan of any particular team, root for the jets..#45.

it's been a while, but i'm so proud of you josh! you've worked hard!
