Brasso,Yummy Cookies, and New Freedom

I hit the ground running today at work. There were tons of people there today and it seemed like everytime I went to clean a certain area of the house...alas I was in someone's way. :/ So my trusty sidekick Ally and I hid away in the master bathroom, polishing brass. Now polishing brass isn't exactly fun, but add some music and good converation and you don't really realize that you are working. However, after about and hour and a half of sucking in Brasso fumes....ya start to feel a little funny. :P I had opened a window when we started to try to keep the room from getting too unbareable, but that apparently didn't do much. So I thought it best to be done polishing brass for a while and decided that sweeping the Great Room floor for the thousandth time wasn't so bad. :)
Other than getting high on Brasso fumes it was a pretty ok day. Lunch time is always my favorite part of the day and today was no different especially since we had leftover cookies from church yesterday. :D If you didn't get one yesterday then I pity you greatly! The recipe was a creation of my mother's that she came up with a long time ago. It's been in our recipe box for ages and I up and decided to make them...good move! Have I made you hungry yet?
Since my last blog post I've discovered how freeing it is to not try to plan your own life out. Even today I just felt at peace that God is in control, not me and that he knows what's best. Takes a load off my mind! :)
I'm also asking God to give me a more thankful heart so, here's a little list:
I'm thankful for:
My mom who keeps me laughing
Music that I can sing along to at the top of my lungs even when the person in the car next to me is staring at me like I've lost my mind. :)
Peace that passes all understanding
Encouraging e-mails from sweet sisters in Christ
Restoring of friendships
The sweetest little brother ever who as I typed the above line began to excalim"you have the most beautiful eyes ever! I envy your eyes, they're so blue! You could swim in them!"

I'm posting a Relient K song that I think is so sweet and I love it! You should totally listen!

"Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me
Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
Whom in heav'n but Thee"
