For returned phone calls, Thank You Lord.

So, a few days ago I wrote the blog "Now, don't go and get your hopes up Kristen" and told one of my best friends about it. We were talking about the trip and how excited we were getting about it. I had mentioned how I was kind of trying to "not get my hopes too high" and he was like "Kristen, if your hopes weren't high, I wouldn't think you would want this trip to happen, your hopes are what make you."

For supportive and encouraging friends, Thank You Lord.
For endless opportunities-

So I am not even joking when I say this, right in the middle of writing "For endless opportunities..." right as I was going to type "Thank You Lord," Brian Donahue called me. We ended up talking for an hour about everything. Amazing and not to mention SO encouraging.

For endless opportunities, Thank You Lord.
For chances we don't deserve, Thank You Lord.
For believing in us when no one us else does, Thank You Lord.

For getting our hopes up, Thank You Lord.
