52 Blessings: Weeks 9 and 10

I haven't done a lot of scrapping in the past couple of weeks. And the only pages I've really done, I can't show here because they are part of my gift for my secret sibling Christmas gift. But I've had my blessings project on my mind a lot. It seems right now I have so many blessings - big and small - that it's almost overwhelming to choose which ones to scrap. Not a bad place to be. So this week, I narrowed my blessings down to two that I wanted to scrap....this is what I came up with.

Week 9: Young Women
I work with the teenage girls in my congregation (to learn more click here and here). It's not the easiest thing I've ever done and the last couple of weeks were particularly difficult. But now, looking back, I learned so much during this particularly stressful time. And I have a greater appreciation for my girls and their struggles. I really am grateful for all of "my" girls and the opportunity to work with them and to be a part of their lives.

Week 10: Christmas Music
I love Christmas music and anxiously await the day it's "allowed" in our house - the day after my birthday. It just makes everything feel right. This year I am listening to Josh Groban's Noel a lot. It's my favorite - now two years in a row. He has such an amazing voice!
