hey!  happy weekend to you, friends.
my heart feels a bit lighter this weekend with the nice warm sunshine.  fiiiinallllyyyy, ahhhh!  feelin like i could skip around outside for a good bit today.  i just might!
here's a list of things i feel thankful for today.  gratitude is so important.
thankful for...
my overalls and t-shirt without a coat... let me repeat... WITHOUT A COAT!!!  just feel like myself today.
church this mornin.  feel like i haven't been to my church on a sunday in a long time and it felt so so nice to sing loud amongst other believers.
the lyrics from one of the songs we sang, "hallelujah, praise the One who set me free.. hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me."  simple yet profound.  jotted them down so i'd remember the song and turns out it was phil wickham's "living hope."
sid kid, next to me as i type this.  been missin that kumquat.  she's my buddy and it's good to be together.
for holding hands with francis in the sunshine yesterday, walkin along the river.  that was really sweet and i'm grateful.  he cares for me really well and he's my best friend.
for the renewed energy i feel from the weather.  feel a little more recharged to serve those kiddos i work with.
for pastor dave's tears this mornin as he talked about how God goes after the rejected, discarded, forgotten people.

praise God from whom all blessings flow!
​all is gift.

taking stock. laundromat edition.

this blog format was floating around blogs a while ago.  i did it back in 2014, but i thought i'd bring it back because sometimes i don't know what to blog about but i still really enjoy blogging, so it's nice to have a format.  here ya go!  a list of things lately, typed to you from new hope coin laundry, because my apartment's laundry machines are down.

making : my sister's wedding invitations!  they should be done by the end of the month!
cooking : ha.  i don't know.  do nachos count?
drinking : coffee, i guess.  for sure not as much water as i should.
reading : jude this mornin and little bit of first john.  been meaning to get back into bonhoeffer's the cost of discipleship though and also my aunt and grandma strongly recommended kathie lee gifford's the rock, the road, and the rabbi to me, so i might start that one. 
wanting : a new vacuum cleaner.  mine somehow makes my floors more dirty!  it just recycles the dirt out the back of it.  had to sweep after i vacuumed today, buhh.
playing : this game called 'bird climber' (is this a game people know about?  i only just discovered it but maybe more people know about it?  it's an app).  i think it's really fun but i can't make it past the 14th floor!
looking : at my laundry while it spins. 
wasting : laundry soap i think?  i think maybe i put too much in.  also it's classic for me to leave some of my la croixs un-drinken and then they get flat and room-temperature.  is un-drinken a word?  i don't think it is.
wishing : it were spring.  so badly.
enjoying : everything about francis flood.  that boy just lights me up!
liking : that it's still light out for several hours after i'm done working!
waiting : for my laundry to be done.. (:
wondering : what the next fews months will hold as things seem to be changing around the center where i work.
loving : that i got to see my sweet friend meghan as a bride this weekend.
hoping : really hoping, to grow in Christ-likeness.  
marveling : at the beauty of miss ariel yang, especially displayed through the rawness and vulnerability and humility in her latest blog post.  i love her.
needing : to know i have people.  sometimes i kinda forget that i have friends.  anyone else?  needing to know God's forgiveness and grace in new ways.  needing new soap in my bathroom (i'm almost out) (;.  
smelling : so much laundry detergent in here!  
wearing : francis' sweatshirt (((:
following : my sister's marathon-training journey.  she's really strong and cool and disciplined.  i'm definitely the lame speich.  i eat salad sometimes? ha!
noticing : that any off brand just does not compare to smartfood white cheddar popcorn.  no contest, no sir.
knowing : strategies for how to help this particular lovable stinker kiddo at work calm down when he's worked up and tantruming is really helpful and helps me care for him better!
feeling : thankful for vic.
bookmarking : bridal shower/wedding invite ideas on pinterest for paiger.
opening : up the dryer, because my laundry's done yaaaaa'll (:

​see ya later & happy monday!
what's on your list?
