Thankful Thursday #219

"And surely I am with you always,

to the very end of the age."
~Matthew 28:20

Today, I am thankful for: 

1.  Accepting a "School-Based Therapist" job offer from CREOKS (to be an elementary school counselor in Broken Arrow starting early March)!  I am grateful God connected me with Marla, a fellow court reporter pursuing a counseling career transition and moving from Cleveland County to the Tulsa area!  Long story short, I'm emotional about the transition but very grateful for God’s guidance, and I am going to learn and grow and make the most of my time working with young children and their families!! ❤

2.  Crockpot chicken and noodles... a simple comfort food that's good with and without alfredo sauce. =)

3.  I'm grateful to be hosting our family Christmas Eve gathering this year (with JoBug and her fam + us and the Parrishes).  It's nice having some real presents under the tree alongside the lovely wrapped boxes of air Mom made to complete the Christmas look. lol

4.  Kristin Michelle... My move to OKC was a massive catalyst for positive changes in my life - I see God's hand in many areas, and it's okay that it didn't take the exact shape I was expecting.  Through all the pivots and shifting dreams and goals, l am deeply grateful for Kristin‘s consistent support, her faith in me as a potential mom, and for trusting that we have years of close friendship ahead!

5.  Thankful that we have the God-given ability to renew our minds, form new habits, and see new results.

6.  Thankful for marathon training being the long string that will tie this season together - a worthy goal with a stable and consistent routine that will help me feel sane and emotionally regulated in the midst of the coming chaos. #movementismedicine

 

7.  Mel freaking Robbins, one of the strongest voices speaking into my life all year long with the Launch course and live trainings and biweekly podcast - this episode was fantastic and so well-timed!! #thankful #actionbuildsconfidence

Okay, I'm done with the online processing for today.  Lots of gratitude and joy mixed with a bit of grief and wondering what God will do next.  Faith in His goodness, and fortitude to persevere when life doesn't go according to plan.  Much love to whoever has read all of this.  Happy Thursday, and happy Christmas week ahead!!
