We will always remember this hike!! 

"Have courage, and be kind" ~ Cinderella's Mama

It's like we were entering a winter wonderland...

Our little Warrior Princess. We had a sweet conversation on our hike about how we as women are uniquely made to bring life, in more ways than one. She is going to be one fierce protector of life!!

I realized something sobering about myself today:

true beauty and majesty terrify me. O for the day I can look and behold,

and not tremble in fear!! 

my birthday week

Life... to remember my sweet puppy (and my little girls toes!!)

who shadows me, even when I practice! 

Mmmm... long walks in the country with my loves. Dreaming about my home in the new heaven 

and the new earth, hoping in the coming Kingdom: It does my heart SO MUCH GOOD. 

On this Easter Sunday, May you give yourself permission to dream of the 

life that Jesus offers you, both the already and the not yet!! 

He has brought me to His banqueting table.

His banner over me is love. 

It's my birthday and I've got a hot date. Thx for all the kind wishes!!

It's gonna be a good year.

Yesterday's date with Jesus: 

3/01/16

And today... "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:13-14

"Treat, treat, treat"

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Revelation 21:2-5

My 2nd full rainbow today! I'm meditating on this particular promise:

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3

COZY!!

"This is my password," said the King as he drew his sword. 

"The light is dawning, the lie is broken. Now guard thee, miscreant, 

for I am Tirian of Narnia." 

A bit of yesterday... 03/18/16

These boys had the giggles yesterday!! How I've loved teaching them.

"Books and Parties" has been a smashing hit this year, for both the kids I've taught and for me!! 

This particular book (The Hundred Dresses) is a keeper. 

The themes are profound, on some of the deepest heart levels. 

"All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read:

which goes on for ever; in which every chapter is better than the one before."

WELCOME 2016!! 

"God is within her, she will not fall;

God will keep her at break of day."

Psalm 46:5

"Promise me you'll always remember - you're braver than you

believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think"

{Christopher Robin to Pooh}

He made a new friend. 

*sisters* 

"To remember today" - 1/7/16

....and one more sweet scene from the same day! 

Way too much cuteness not to document! 

How could we not stop?? 

"I will never leave you or forsake you" is the promise Jesus whispered 

to my heart upon witnessing this gorgeous sight today.

1/22/16

"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, 

but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry,

'Abba! Father!' - Romans 8:15

Jesus' promise to my heart today (2nd rainbow in a week!!) 

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. 

In the world you will have tribulation. 

But take heart; I have overcome the world." John 16:33

This girl... 

She's tearing up the kitchen UP, ya'll !!
