I'm sorry for my attitude the other day with not having anything to do here and being at a standstill. (can't move into apt until July 1st, can't get a car until after the 27th when I get my first paycheck, can't move into my office until my first day of work...) But I've been reminded just this morning of how you know what is best for me. My body has been crashing despite my lack of activity and just think how exhausted and rundown (and probably sick) I'd be if I was moving into my new home, not letting up until everything was done. Especially cuz I don't have many peers to distract me. So, anyways, I'm thankful. Thank you Abba for knowing me so well that you orchestrated the timing of my homecoming so that I would have rest. Ironic that when I felt restless the last thing I wanted to do was rest but that indeed (rest) is what you wanted for me.
Thank you. I'm thankful for being able to live rent free at my parent's home this month, not having to pay for food or anything. I'm thankful that my parents gave up their room and bed for me to sleep in. I'm thankful for use of family vehicles that they were already sharing but freely offer to me when I need them. I'm thankful for the freedom of no alarm clock and jet lag finally working for me, not against me. I'm thankful for a garage to store all my boxes and suitcases. I'm thankful for securing an apartment starting July 1st, and not just any apartment but one with an amazing oceanfront view of your mountains! I am thankful for a full time job with great benefits. I'm thankful for the opportunity to go to an outdoor worship service this morning and the inherent freedoms in that. I'm thankful that you love me despite my poor attitude and limited perspective at times. Thank you.

Bethany, my dear friend, though time has passed and life has been lived I'm glad you left me that comment on my xanga. I wish you the best on your current endeavors and I'm sure you will do great things. Happy to know we'll be keeping in touch. Take care :) -Josh
