WORSHIP SONG:

Oceans, Where Feet May Fail - United

I Surrender - Hillsong

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

• Thank you God I reached 1K Pinterest followers.  Woohoo!
• Thank you God for a wonderful worship time this morning and all these mornings.
• Thank you God for clean clothes and a clean house.
• Thank you God for my mom's generosity in treating all of us kids and families to dinner.
• Thank you God for all the subcon work I got done today.

THOUGHTS:

• Sometimes my dad makes really good stuff.  I remember one day I was asking him what he was making and he said some peanut butter and raisin thing and I thought, yuck.  Turns out he gave us 8 of these things and I ended up eating 4 of them.  They are good and filling.  The protein & fat from the peanut butter is good and then the raisins give it a nice sweet taste.  Perfect.  I was wrong.
• It felt warm today.
• The past day I've had a headache.  Had more headaches lately and I'm finally going to use the Tens unit on it as well as a do some massaging and trigger point stuff at the base of my skull and upper neck/back shoulder area with the Accu-Masseur.  I don't want to take any Alleve..  And I am icing that area down with my ice pack (bought this in 2010 when I sprained my ankle - well worth the price as it's reusable).  The neck/upper back area is where I store my stress and tensions.  
• Got a lot of subcon work done today.  Praise God!  Last pay period's invoice wasn't that much.  Hopefully this invoice will be a lot better.  Today I was focused on working.

SLEEP:
