there certainly are a lot of things i am thankful for. since i'm sharing my blessings in no particular order, it has been really fun to think about the specific gifts of each day.
i've been reflecting on my week so far, and an obvious trend has emerged. at the risk of listing only relationships the first week, i'm going to have to say that today i am especially thankful for my mentors. trav and i have had the opportunity to meet with a handful of really special people we respect and love in the past seven days. last friday we met with Pastor Matt, monday we met with Rich and Joyce, and last night we met with Jim and Jan. each of these meetings was significant and has challenged us to grow. and, i'm thankful for that. somewhere deep within me there is a purifying that needs to happen before i head back into ministry. and, within the context of marriage, we both have room to improve. so, i appreciate the insight and truthful yet loving words that each of these mentors have shared with us. i'm thankful that people take the roles described in Timothy and Titus seriously using their experience for God's glory and are investing in Trav and i individually as well as in our marriage.
day 3: today i am giving thanks for the mentors that God has placed in my life.
