Seven: Thankful

I'm thankful for Rebekah Smith, who mirrors God in her love and creativity and led me to encounter God through art. She also loves paper cranes.
I'm thankful for my mom. Lately everyday brings me to the realization that she cares for me even more than I thought was possible the day before.
I'm thankful for my sister, who keeps me on my creative toes and still loves me when I lapse into nerdiness.
I'm thankful for Karen, who asks the hard questions and holds me when I cry.
I'm thankful for Janie, who is willing to hug me and lift me up in my cracked brokenness.

I'm thankful for the God of Wonders, who sits with me in laughter and tears, never olds a grudge in response to my belligerence, and leads me on to greater things each and every day.
