Goodness: 45

1) Old friendships made new again. God has the ability to redeem.
2) A catch up coffee date with Kathy. She is one of those friends that speaks straight into my soul.
3) TNDC. We are making our way through the New Times Best Phoenix Restaurants. So far, we have three down. Yummy food is the best!

Goodness: 44

1) In finishing up my paper for the Pastoral Counseling class I took in January, I was reminded of few things: I am chosen. I am valuable. I am purposeful. I am a sinner. God's grace is all I need. Simple, yes, but nonetheless, truth.
2) Watching 60 high schoolers get pumped to get hunted down and then nailed with a water balloon.
3) Driving around town with the windows completely down and Patty Griffin up.

Goodness: 41-43

Friday: Having dinner served to us as a WyldLife family. We are blessed by the Ujanos.
Saturday: So much to celebrate! A great hike for Brooks' 35th Birthday and a fun 80's bridesmaids outing in Old Town Scottsdale to celebrate Katelin's last days as a bachelorette.
Sunday: Family. I am so fortunate to have a family that loves me. Here is where I know I am purposeful.

Goodness: 40

1) Memories of all the fun shenanigans I had living in the Young Life House. I was so blessed to have such a great college experience with good people.
2) Feeling like I was back in college again being on the U of A campus. I don't miss "school," but I do miss the school atmosphere.
3) Having great conversation and experiences all day long with friends.

Goodness: 39

1) Seeing how He is working on hearts.
2) Lunch with VR and losing time in the midst of good conversation.
3) Knowing I'll never be good enough for God (hard but good), but that He still loves me and sent Jesus for me.

Goodness: 38

1) Realizing the lack of work accomplished for my Pastoral Counseling class is not as much as I remembered.
2) Exercising with my sister. Although I may hate it while I'm doing a million squats, there's a sense of pride and accomplishment when I'm done.
3) Spending time with good friends over a new (and yummy) find. Sala Thai, thank you for providing a great environment for conversation and burning my taste buds in the meantime.

Goodness: 37

I guess I'm getting busier and busier (or lazier and lazier) when it comes to updating this thing. Some days I don't even think anyone cares, but that's not the point, right? I remind myself that I started writing about God's goodness because if forced me to recognize Him in all parts of my life.
This is for Monday:
1) Having a convo over lunch and getting pumped for the upcoming season in Young Life. I know He has great things planned.
2) Knowing that this plethora of rain will bring green mountains and tons of spring flowers!
3) A long overdue dinner with the Allman family. Their friendship is real and refreshing.
