It's been a good day.

No, really,
it has!
Actually,
it's been a really great week.
The Lord has really worked in some powerful ways.
And I'm excited to share a little bit.

This week started out to be a little
crazy busy.
Mondays always seem to be the
busiest,
even though I only go to one of
my classes.
But, Monday was a blessing,
because Monday night
I got to spend some time
with Krystal
and help her do some things for her classroom.

Tuesday was lovely.
It was a good day at both jobs,
and I went to a new growth group.
So, it was good.
Even though I was overwhelmed by
new people,
the Lord still used that night
to continue to draw me to Himself.
It was so good.

Wednesday
the highlight had to be
dinner with Callie.
We got to enjoy chicken
(I tried out a new recipe),
mashed potatoes,
and green beans,
as well as each other's company.
Again,
the Lord truly blessed me
that night.
He encouraged me and pushed me
towards Himself
through our time of fellowship.
So good.
OH!
I totally almost forgot!
So, Wednesday,
Rach and I took a loaf of
friendship bread
over to the Turkish family
in our complex.
oh. my. word.
The Lord did incredible things in the 30 minutes we were there.
We got to know the wife, better.
But we also got to meet the husband.
Rachel also got to talk to them for a while about
religion.
And we shared that we are Christians.
And they actually want to
spend more time with us.
They want to come over to our apartment,
and have dinner with us.
Oh. my. goodness.
It's such an evidence of God's grace!
He is so good!
And I pray He continues to give us
opportunities to minister
and love on this family!

Thursday was a good day.
It was Missions Night at IDC,
and the team that traveled to Turkey
shared what went down.
I was serving in childcare that night,
so I don't really know how it went,
but Rachel told me that
the Lord moved in great ways there.
So, yeah.

And today.
TODAY
has been good.
I mean, really good.
I bought tickets for a football game,
so that I can take my dad to it.
Let's just paint the picture:
I am a girl who is not really into sports.
I especially am not a huge fan of watching games on tv.
It's just not fun.
But I do enjoy going to a game.
And I enjoy going to games with my dad.
His favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys.
Always has been,
always will be.
We're going to be in the area
for one of the best games of the season...
Thanksgiving Day Cowboys v. Redskins.
He loves watching the
Thanksgiving day game.
Loves it.
So, why should he not actually go to the game?
No reason not to.
So.
I got the tickets.
And we're going.
I'm so excited!!
I told him about it today,
and he's really excited too!

But anyway,
it's been a really good day.
The Lord has been abundantly
gracious this week.
I don't deserve it.
At all.
But I'm so thankful
that He's seen fit to shower me with His love.
The Gospel is still working in my heart,
and I can see His refining work
continue to change me more and more.
I am beyond thankful.

Blessings
