For each week of the internship, I will post a photo from the week, as well as a list of things that I am grateful for. I believe that gratefulness is a great way to remember and give glory to God's work in our lives.

I am grateful this week for a bike ride to downtown. I hadn't been on my bike in a while since with the short days there is little time to go out during the week and the weekends have been full.

I am grateful for a night of dinner and games with our youth staff team. I really love our team. It is such a blessing to work with them. I love the joy we share, the laughter. It is a gift from God to have such a strong group of people all together, desiring to love our youth and also to care for each other and build each other up.

I am grateful for being able to go to bed early a few times this week and for how that is so good for me!

I am grateful for baking, for gingerbread men and peppermint mocha cookies :)

I am grateful for a fun Christmas party with the youth, for cookie decorating, for wii games, for nachos, for silly times. I am grateful that one of my mentees and her sister showed up!! It was great to be able to catch up with her!

I am grateful for a fun night out at the Grove, with its beautiful lights and atmosphere, and grateful for a delicious dinner :)

I am grateful for Christmas gifts and Christmas cards, both giving and receiving them! (Thanks to all who have sent me cards, I deeply appreciate them!)

I am grateful that our office knows how to be silly and that our boss let us leave work early yesterday, because it allowed me to get some errands done that I will not have to feel rushed about doing later this weekend.

I am grateful for God's provision in my life of a job, of good friends, community, good coworkers, partners in ministry, and much more. I am blessed.

12/15/2011, at work.

I am grateful that I was able to work through some tough emotions this week, and that I had a friend to work them through with me.

I am grateful for a very blessed time teaching at youth group. I am grateful for their engagement and for the leadership of the other staff in the discussions.

I am grateful for our youth group staff team and for the chance to meet together, to reflect, and to look forward to the future.

I am grateful for our teammate, who is part Polynesian, part Chinese, and part Japanese. He made a delicious meal for our team and introduced us to his culture's food!

I am grateful for the chance to paint a little, and in a way that serves our church (I made a sign for our sunday services, asking people to save spots for people with disabilities).

I am grateful for the ability to not be at work when I am not feeling well.

I am grateful for a whole Saturday spent resting. So good and needed for my soul!
