Thankful
Thursday
Sorry I was
absent from last week’s Thankful Thursday.
Being home and then back again and on holidays really messed up my days,
however I am back and full of thanks and praise to our generous Father.
This week I
am thankful for:
Church Camp
Last
weekend I went on our church camp and had a wonderful time. Often I find camps hard; I don’t sleep well with
other people in the room, or when I change beds, I get easily overwhelmed by
being around lots of people and I often shy away from the regular camp
activities ie boating, concerts, challenges.
This year however, I found that it was easier to be involved with
everyone and I rarely avoided anything.
Also the talks
this year were on Prayer, my focus for 2013 and the speaker was fantastic. I learnt so much and by the end of the
weekend I found myself losing track of time as I prayed. This week I have been able to keep it up and
I am very thankful that God has guided me through these normally challenging areas
and I am seeing how much I have grown.
Good Food
I have a
very tricky diet to cater for, I am a vegetarian and I am gluten free. This has been problematic and times and I
hate being the person that makes life difficult. I have been so blessed recently as the
wonderful church members who catered for our camp were amazing as they catered
for my crazy eating. They acted as
though it was no big deal to negotiate what I can and can’t eat.
I have also
found a number of new brands that have products that are vegetarian, gluten
free and low in sugar. I am so thankful
that these days there are so many people who are aware of these dietary restrictions
and cater accordingly.
My job
I have 1 term
left of my current job. It is no secret
that I love what I do. I really love who
I work with and this position is the longest I have been in the one place
(18mths) I will really miss it. There is a chance that next year the position
will be available again and I can return but at the moment there is nothing for
the second half of this year.
I feel so
blessed that I have a career that I love and look forward to doing each day.
Not only that, but the pay in my dream job covers all my expenses (which in
reality aren’t that many) and then some which means that I can do the job I want
and not have to stress about finances.
Link up again
here and think about what you have been blessed with.
With much
love
