over the past few years, i have followed various friends projects, documenting 365 days of pictures or the first year of baby's life, or maybe a month of songs. i have questioned doing such things, and have thought about what a commitment it would take and of course how it would be hard without say an iphone to document them. but i have been doing some thinking lately, and more than memories or songs, i want my life to be marked by certain qualities. as i was thinking about this, the word gratitude came to mind. as i was beginning to write this, i flipped over to webster.com for a dictionary definition of the word, and my heart jumped for joy: "gratitude: the state of being thankful" wow. so for the next year (in addition to many other things) i want to strive for this quality. i want to live in a way of gratitude.

26. good times with great friends

tonight, we joined several couples in our lifegroup for a braves game and had a great time. funnel cakes, fire works, 5 homeruns- great night! it made me so thankful for sweet times like these, and thankful to have a community i am a part of that is not only encouraging and inspiring my spiritual growth, but also fun to be with. i am so thankful for time spent with these folks.
