Our church, The Rock, is a huge thing to be thankful for. Ever since the day I saw the billboard that said “Want God, Not Religion?” I knew I found my church home. I walked in the first time and loved it. I loved the music, the people I met, the message. That was more than six years ago and I have never stopped attending the Friday night services. When..

I am thankful for my brother, Michael. I am such an old lady compared to him – I was 12 1/2 when he was born, which means I was starting high school when he was starting kindergarten, and I left for college before he was even done with elementary school. It’s hard to think about how much of his life I have missed. He has been through a lot in.. Read More
I am so thankful for our date night group! Every Wednesday, we share babysitting duties with four other couples. Our kids range in age from 3 months up to 6 years. The kids do great together and love playing at each others houses. Each week someone when couple takes a turn watching all the other couples children. For two and a half hours, the other couples are free to go.. Read More
I am so thankful for my sweet sister Jennifer! She is one of the most genuinely nice people on the planet. She is generous, empathetic, and very pretty to boot! Jennifer is a pretty hard name for little ones to say, so her nickname is just Aunt. The one…the only….AUNT! Giana gets so excited when we talk about aunt (along with aunt’s best friends, Uncle Mike and Champion!). The girls.. Read More
I’m very thankful for my sister Beth. Since we are close in age, we didn’t always get along when we competed against each other in high school. But throughout the years, and throughout having kids, we have bonded over many things. Especially those kids! I’m very thankful for how generous Beth is. She works very hard to find beautiful clothes for her children for reasonable prices – something I do.. Read More
I am thankful for my small group through The Rock church. I look forward to seeing them every Sunday night. We share joy, tears, prayers, hopes, disappointments and excitement. I have been with many of the same people since I moved to Minneapolis and started going to The Rock six years ago. In fact, the couple leading our group this year were both at the very first small group I.. Read More
I am thankful for my friend, Beth, and her family tonight. Beth is my good friend from high school. We were co-captains together in high school, and Beth saved my butt once or twice when I needed her. She helped me out again when I needed a place to stay after my first year of college. She took me in and drove me around. Throughout the years we have known.. Read More
I am thankful for the company that employs me! When I prayed for a new job, I found this one. The job description matched my resume exactly – a journalist with project management experience. I was able to work from home, saving myself approximately 1 1/2 hours every day that I was using to commute. That’s 7.5 hours every week – nearly 32 hours every 4 weeks – of time.. Read More
I didn’t get a chance to write the last couple of days because I have not been feeling well…which leads me to my post for today. I am so thankful I have insurance and access to care to help me get better! For Monday – I am thankful for my dentist who can get me in for a last-minute appointment. She was very empathetic when listening about my tooth pain.. Read More
Back when I was in college, my mom joined the rest of the world and got an email address. She would sign her emails “Love, Ma” so I started calling her that and the nickname “ma” stuck. I’m so thankful for her today. I am so thankful for the way Ma shows love to my girls (and her other grandkids). It is so complete. Ma extends this love to so.. Read More
