#151 - For safety on the trail today with my daughter, Breezy, and Harley, even though there was a runaway horse (someone else's), a mountain biker, a scary oak branch that wanted to eat pony for breakfast, three pedestrians with ski poles (scary!) and various and sundry star thistle plants that planned to dine on horse hocks! Thank you, Lord, for a beautiful morning and that we were safe!
#152 - Bob home safely after being gone (again).
#153 - That Bob has a job, even if it *does* send him off a lot.
#154 - Safety from fire for another day. Thank you, Lord.
#155 - That I live in a place where I can do so many things in a day from snow skiing (in the winter), to water skiing (in the summer), to hiking the beautiful Sierras (even going to Yosemite!), to the ocean, horsebackriding on glorious trails (right off my property, too) and on and on. California *is* overpopulated and overpriced, but it is also BEAUTIFUL with access to everything!
#156 - For friends in women's biblestudy last Thursday night that allowed me to be authentic and honest about some of my biggest fears and biggest dreams...and that they felt safe enough to share there, too.
#157 - For my renewed friendship with "Susan," a friend from church with horses. She is one of only two people I feel I can totally focus on Harley when I ride with. Susan is a special lady with a lot of depth. I feel privileged to know her.
#158 - Daniel's newly emerging sense of humor. He has always had a sense of humor, but it is now officially "maturing" a bit. Instead of finding humor in making up jokes like : What do you call a Wal with a Mart? WALMART! (followed by dorky laughter, God bless him! LOL!), he is now able to bring humor into normal conversations in a very clever way. I am impressed!
#159 - Michaela's love for music and that she has fallen in love with yet another musical instrument she wants to teach herself to play. This time, it is the oboe! Goodness! Thank you, Lord, for placing in her a love of music and the skills to be able to learn so easily. WOW!
#160 - For my physical exam today with my doctor. Everything looks really good and since my last physical exam, my weight is down SEVENTY EIGHT POUNDS since June 6, 2006 on the doctor's scale. YOU ALONE, Lord! You alone! THANK YOU!

Entry #14
#141 - God speaks to His people, guiding, directing, convicting, encouraging, instructing. I am so thankful that He won't let me stay put, but continues to walk with me personally.
#142 - That Jesus is FULL of grace AND truth. Too much grace and holiness would be tossed aside, perhaps. Too much truth without grace and I would be pummeled without ever experiencing the encouragement that Jesus is so masterful at giving.
#143 - For Joe and Pam Donaldson - two amazing servants of God, dynamos, gifted servant-leaders to lead Thin Within into the next adventure or chapter!
#144 - For Judy Halliday, a precious mentor, friend, sister in the Lord who God has used profoundly in my life.
#145 - For a safe return home without any real problems...a totally safe and trouble free trip, in fact.
#146 - For Karla, a new friend who is also a Wycliffe bible translator to Papua New Guinea. Jan introduced us and wow...I was so blown away by the authentic walk this lady has with the Lord and that she shared with me. God is good. Not only that, but after hearing some of Michaela's story (my daughter who wanted to be a bible translator when she was four years old) about spiritual warfare, shared some encouragement that I could, in turn, pass on to Michaela.
#147 That Daniel loves tennis...I am praying it will be something God uses to help him connect at Forest Lake Christian School. He is taking lessons from the man who also happens to be the athletic director at the school.
#148 For Michaela's love for drama and music. I know God is using her even now and has plans for her life as well.
#149 That Bob did SUCH a great job caring for all the critters and kids while I was gone.
#150 That even when my weight vacillates, it doesn't have to spell disaster. I have a good attitude about it. I know God is freeing me from everything.
