Things I love in life

Some of these are very random.....others are very much not random!

1. The freedom to worship my God & Father
2. Jeremy
3. Jenna & Jaden
4. My extended family
5. something Jaden said this morning when I told him we needed to be praying for President Obama all the time and he said "even in the night!" Very true
6. Jenna, who is not a snuggler, crawled up in my lap yesterday and slept because she felt so crappy.
7. friends the Lord has brought across my path - both old and new
8. facebook - (it's brought some of the old friends back across my path)
9. my new juicer - it's so much healthier when you think about all the sugar and artificial additives you cut out
10. my new mandarin garnet ring :)
11. late 80's/early 90s rap music - you remember them....Funky cold medina, Baby got Back, etc. I heard both of those the other day and it brought back a kazillion memories.
12. having a brain that keeps memories
13. the memories I have of my parents that I can share with my kids even though my parents are now in heaven
14. my new church - Compass Christian
15. the hope for eternal life in heaven - especially the fact that there is more to life than this earth! Praise God for that!
16. my daughter's accepting Christ into her life and baptism this summer! Now, that's exciting!
17. country music and country dancing
18. my new home in Roanoke
19. mexican pottery!
20. the color ORANGE
21. knowing that I have a Savior who hears my prayers night and day and answers them
22. strawberry shortcake - both the food and the little girl :)
23. my daddy's nickname for me "Pooch" - I hated it back in the day, but just wish I could hear him call me that today
24. i can ask Jaden "do you know what I need?" and he'll say "I got what you need" and then he kisses me
25. Jenna trusts me enough to tell me things and ask some hard questions
26. my kids' lullabys are - Jenna, "Jesus, There's just something about that name" and Jaden, "Amazing Grace" it calms them every time and puts them to sleep every night
27. cowboy boots
28. Beef Taco Bake
29. Kari's roast
