Monday Madness

I have so much to be THANKFUL for. Here are a few of the first things that come to my mind:
warm, sunny January days
the gym
songs on YouTube at the touch of a button (our fav is We Are Family right now)
healings that take place in MY HOUSE
laughter, even at graduation parties
friends who have BIG God-expectations
tickle fights with my husbando that end up in bloody lips (ok, i could do without the lip-thing, but it's fun to play like kids)

Eric Smith has been a source of deep REVELATION for me in the last couple years. His words are fresh, straight from heaven, and they pierce my reality like a knife. Just a few of his thoughts from last night:
if you're praying for someone and you're getting nervous or if you're concerned if you'll be "successful", you are focused on yourself and not God.
when you take the focus off of yourself, love begins

Eva has been "potty training" for months, but now, we are getting serious. Sweet treats are waiting in the cupboard as the celebratory snack. So far today we are 1 for 2. Here's hoping for an empty snack bag by bed time.
