Joy Dare Catch Up: 17, 18, & 19

17. one gift that made you laugh, one gift that made you pray, one gift that made you quiet

• The newest episode of "New Girl" made me laugh, and so happy: genuine and kind friendships don't always exist
• Being honored by someone's confidence and being able to pray for a dear friend
• Getting some personal time in my room even with welcomed guests over for the weekend.

18. 3 gifts from God's Word

• A reminder to live out my faith in obedience, not just by routines--Romans 2:13
• A reminder to run the race with all I am and have--Hebrews 12:1-2
• A reminder of the longing and thirst for NewHeavenandEarth--Hebrews 11:13-16

19. a grace in the kitchen, a grace in the weather, a grace that might never have been

• Sweet tangerines/cuties in the kitchen
• Lovely rain this weekend! Got to wear my rain boots and enjoy the fresh and clean air
• Unexpectedly bumping into friends I haven't seen in a while; this happened on several occasions this weekend, wow!
