Jumping On

When you think about "jumping on the bandwagon" you usually think of it as a negative thing...like you are some kind of nerdy follower or something...well, I have to say I am jumping on the bandwagon of "blogging." And yes, I confess to making fun of blogging, but I have been really moved by Sarah's (Fitzpatrick) Thankful blog, as many other people have. I think Darren, my brother-in-law called her a trendsetter and I totally agree. She is incredible and I am proud to jump on her bandwagon(or Kenton Beshore's....).
I don't know that I will be able to post every day, but I'm going to try...I love the idea of recognizing little things during the day as things I should be thankful for. There are major things...things that have been on my prayer list for years that of course I recognize as God's hand...then there are little things I wouldn't think twice about, but now recognize them as God's hand in my every day life. Right now I am in the midst of a time where I can clearly see God's answer to my specific prayers, and with that, I begin my first "Thankful List."
