1. That I am cooking for the first time since my sister and I moved in together on our gas stove (yes, it's been over a month) and that there has been no fire! Granted, it was pre-packaged veggies...but a start nonetheless!
2. That I finished doing "Hip Hop Abs" with a smile on my face. I am guilty of indulging in infomercial hoop-la (think: abchair, turbo iron, tummy tucker, body cleanse, etc.) This has definitely been the best investment!
3. That I had such an encouraging day of work full of new ideas, organization, productivity, and hard work from my students (even from the stubborn ones!). I've gotten four new students in the last two weeks and they're definitely in need of some prayer! (One came in with Mexican gang symbols tattooed all up her arm and is the SWEETEST thing in the world, another is here and doesn't quite understand school-appropriate material/topics/etc, think: explicit, one was here last year and transferred but came back to be attacked by three other students which was followed by moms coming and getting involved/fighting/yelling gang threats/and ultimately being arrested, and the last seems like a total sweetheart but all have come to Gompers because of fighting issues at their previous schools).
4. That I am listening to a sermon from a church in Austin that a long-lost friend/Bible Study leader and her husband are going to be speaking on soon. About missionaries.
5. I just found out my best friend of almost 12 years is coming in town tomorrow!! YAH for Desiree Isis Koninendyke Sharpe (Buckman)!!!! Looking forward to chatting, sleep overs, catching up, etc.
