Good morning Lords and Ladies! It’s great to be in your presence today. I’m struggling with being negative today and really there are so, so many good things in my life right now. How silly to focus on what’s wrong when there’s plenty to celebrate in my world. So to ac-cent-uate the positive, e-lim-inate the negative (and don’t mess with Mr. Inbetween), I present to you . . .
Three Things I’m Thankful for this Thursday:
1) My husband. Ok, prepare yourself to gag or awww depending on your reaction. The King is the greatest. He works hard, keeps my eyes on the prize daily, and best of all he love, love, LOVES the princesses and me with a love deeper than the ocean. He really does treat us like royalty and he could be all three of the things I’m thankful for today. 😉
2) God. It seems overly simplistic to say I’m thankful to recognize the influence and guidance of the Divine Creator in my life but I am. Easter always makes me acutely aware of the gift of new life in Him and the opportunity to be light in a world that can seem to be dark. A quotation that has resounded within my soul this year has been: “Why blame the dark for being dark? It’s far more helpful to ask why the light isn’t as bright as it should be.” – Rob Bell. I usually keep to bargain talk on here but in life I attempt to live in a manner that shines light into dark places. I’m constantly trying to ask myself where beyond my comfortable seat in church can I shine into someone’s life. Hopefully some of you gain encouragement here and hopefully I’m making an impact elsewhere. If you ever have questions about my faith, I’d love to chat (either physically or virtually). Hit me up on Twitter or E-mail me @ thequeenoffree@gmail.com.
3) The upcoming Dave Ramsey Town Hall for Hope . If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should NOW. I’m so excited to gain some further encouragement on our path to eliminate debt in our lives. Find a location today where you can go and spend a worthwhile hour of your time. Of course, it’s free, free free! If you live in the geographic Queendom and want to meet up with me there, contact me and I might even let you sit with me. We’ve also been crushing on the Dave Ramsey series up on Lifechurch.tv , too. You can download the DVDs on there for free, along with small group resources and a number of other church resources for those of you in ministry.
What about you? What are three things you’re thankful for this Thursday?

Today I am thankful for healthy children (prayers for Maddie and Thalon), sunshine, and a college education(so I know what to do when I have a broken toe).
"The Queen of Free" says
Your poor toe! I too am thankful for your college education so I can call when I have a physical ailment. 🙂
He usually reads Jackie. We’ll see if he gets a chance today or not. I’m not even trying to win any favor with him. Just crushin’ on my man.
