[March 12, 2012] Thankful for...rainbows!  Today there was a tornado watch for our area - we mainly just got some rain.  There was a full rainbow in the middle of it, when the sun came out for just a little bit - it was there for less than 5 minutes, but I managed to get a couple shots. :)  I was in the prayer room again today, and was reading about so many of God's promises, and today I was able to physically see one of those promises. :)

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
Genesis 9: 12-16 The Message

[March 11, 2012] Thankful for...NCAA brackets!  Today was Selection Sunday, so I printed off a bracket to fill out...do you see who's #1 in the West??? :)  That is the direct result of beating OSU today in the Big 10 Tournament!

[March 10, 2012] Thankful for...being able to watch the Dordt basketball game.  I watched the game with my friends Lindy and Al because they both went to Dordt, and wanted to watch the quarterfinal game.  Scott was there with a bunch of his friends because he's on Spring Break (the tournament is being held near Branson, Missouri) - we even saw him and his friends a couple of times, all wearing black body paint. :)  Unfortunately, Dordt lost by 4, BUT..... they only had one senior on their team, so pretty much everyone will be back next year - hopefully they'll make another run at the National Tournament! :)

[March 9, 2012] Thankful for...my friend Renee!  She actually was my assistant in my classroom first, and we grew into being great friends! :)  We went shopping in downtown Holland and went for dinner at the 8th Street Grille...yum!  We always have a great time together, talking about our families and our faith...our conversations are soooo good! :)
