the little things.

things that make me happy today:

a phone call from the parents to wake me up and start my day

a tweet from my sister-in-law that says she's going to WPPI 

my coffee that only has two tablespoons of creamer and one packet of sweet-and-low (I'm making progress!)

the thought of buying invitations and making my sister's baby shower a reality

chocolate cupcakes

a roommate who reads the Bible at the same time I am only to find out that we're both reading Romans

information about missions and the idea of being out on the field

a skype date with my best friend tomorrow

roommates who get excited about things that are happening in my life and their encouragement

the pancakes I got for free at IHOP last night and the friends who went with me

emails from my parents that include funny pictures and great news of the gospel reaching the people in South Sudan

the knowledge and peace and freedom I have in knowing that while I was still a sinner, Christ died for me, and I am no longer a slave to sin but to righteousness

and this video because today is a happy day in so many ways.
