Today I am thankful for my chacos.
Ryan got them for me for Christmas, and I wasn't sure I would like them, but I do. Today was the perfect weather to wear them, which is another great thing for which I am thankful! Come on, spring!

Sanctification
Today I am thankful for sanctification.
It's been one of those days when I feel like I'm having to seek forgiveness of my husband every hour or two. For some reason, we've both been on edge and that, sadly, leads to disagreement a lot of the time. I'm grateful, though, that we made vows to each other almost five months ago that we are committed to keeping. Whenever anyone asks how married life is going, our answer has now become "sanctifying." I'm grateful for that.

My Christmas Gift
Today I am thankful for my Christmas gift.
Ryan and I received tickets to Chris Tomlin's concert in Tulsa from my parents for Christmas. Last night was our dinner/concert double-date with them, and we had so much fun. I was a full three-hour concert, complete with Rend Collective, Christy Nockels, a ton of Tomlin music and a great presentation by Louie Giglio. I usually don't like delayed Christmas gifts, but this one was worth the wait!

My Father-in-Law
Tonight I am thankful for my father-in-law.
Today is the first birthday Ken Martin has had since he had a daughter-in-law, and I'm thankful to be that girl. We sang for him before 7:00 this morning, and apparently I have a better morning voice than my husband. :-)

The Last Night of Handbells
Today I am thankful for the last night of handbells.
Once I'm there, I really do enjoy it, but it will be nice to come straight home on Tuesdays from now on. I always hate asking Ryan to go home alone and start dinner for me while I'm at practice, especially after nights like last night when he didn't get home until 9:00. I keep feeling like I need to further de-commit myself from things, specifically evening things, but it seems so hard to do when you're doing ministry things. Such is our life right now...

A Busy Day
Today I am thankful for a busy day.
It's not often I'm grateful for days when I leave work without being caught up, but today was an exception. After being away for a week, I enjoyed working through everything that I missed during my trip. It always helps, too, when 10 hours go by quickly and 5:00 surprises me. I like it when that happens.

My Husband's Passion
Today I am thankful for my husband's passion.
I haven't written these in a while, but I want to make an effort to start it up again. It's a good practice to thank our gracious God for His blessings on a continual basis.
Back to today's blessing . . .
A couple of hours ago, I got to watch the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team win their game versus North Carolina to go to the Final Four. He follows them so closely every year, and it takes a Final Four to make the season feel successful. This year, they did it, and I loved celebrating with him. My family even joined in on the fun tonight, and that's a sign of true love!
