sitting in the UL on tuesday morning

yesterday was a day full of adventures...and also feeling a little scrambled.  woke up and couldn't get out of bed...sweet mom heated up my apple cider for me...i always get frustrated when she just lingers in my room when i'm trying to get ready but then i realize what a  blessing she is!! and i am also reminded of how thankful i am for my dad- who made my lunch on saturday morning when i was in a rush to get to the hospital on time.  caroline called me yesterday when i was on my way back to school...and i am so thankful that i got to speak with her.  lord, give me GRACE...i think so often, i am critical of her and her way of doing life.  but lord, help me know how to love her as you would.  and then i went to class...then met with gail corrado after class...then went on a run and suttons with cars. lord, it's the little moments like that- where i am just so thankful.  and then i went to dship with emily cosgrove and crystal...went to target. and then i came back and took a nap and went on a walk with allie higgins.  and then 3rd degree and saw mrs jones. and then group meeting with barkley and elizabeth and nathan and macon and remington. aka JOKES in the alpha chi kitchen...goldfish at middle school dances/fruit punch and elizabeth's hug!! and then baked cookies in our kitchen!! funfetti and janie came over! and woke up this morning and wrote notes to people and pictures!! lord, i pray for macon now- i hope i wasn't too strong last night encouraging her to go abroad for a year but i honestly think it would be the BEST thing for her!! help me learn to abide- speak as you would speak!! and i lift up the people heading to india today. 1 peter 5:10...that YOU will RESTORE us, ESTABLISH us, STRENGTHEN us, and SUPPORT us!!! thank you lord!
