Dear Friend, He's always watching...
today is a very GOOD day for our family.
full of hope, joyful anticipation, and extreme gratitude after a long season of waiting.
while i'm singing today because i'm so very happy, i KNOW He's been watching me through each and every season - even through my doubts and fears.
He watches you too, friend.

Motivate Me Monday :: Joy Seeker
"J O Y
is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of
my life,
the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be
alright,
and the determined choice to praise God in every situation."

Dear Friend Enduring a time of Turmoil...
Open your heart (wide open 'like a lake') to the one who created it...
Release all your fears to Him.
1 peter 5:7 "cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
Like a Lake
Release all your fears to Him.

| so much hurt and preservation like a tendril round my soul so much painful information no clear way on how to hold it when everything in me is tightening curling in around this ache I will lay my heart wide open like the surface of a lake wide open like a lake standing at this waters edge looking in at God's own heart I've no idea where to begin to swallow up the way things are everything in me is drawing in closing in around this pain I will lay my heart wide open like the surface of a lake wide open like a lake bring the wind and bring the thunder bring the rain till I am tried when it's over bring me stillness let my face reflect the sky and all the grace and all the wonder of a peace that I can't fake wide open like a lake everything in me is tightening curling in around this ache I am fighting to stay open I am fighting to stay open open open oh wide open open like a lake | ||

Dear Friend Carrying a Heavy Burden,
you are not alone.
draw near to god and He will draw near to you.
He is near to the brokenhearted.
He is working things out for your GOOD.
He will carry you through...and deliver you from all your fears...
draw near to god and He will draw near to you.
He is near to the brokenhearted.
He is working things out for your GOOD.
He will carry you through...and deliver you from all your fears...

Wall Art with Heart
Dear DIY Lov'n Friend,
i recently finished a project that I've been planning since this summer.
it all started when i found a pottery barn frame in the alley at our previous house in downtown minneapolis.
it was just a little scuffed up, but i knew that i could make a little something special with it as a conversation piece on the walls of our new home.
for several months the frame hung empty on a wall next to our dining table, just waiting to be filled.
but now, she's finished:
we've truly left a little piece of our heart in each and every state we've lived in the past 12 years.
we have made some very dear friends and have so many fond memories of fun experiences in each and every place.
i printed an outline of each state on paper reflecting colors already represented in our home decor, then mounted them in the order in which we've lived.
such a simple, but meaningful representation of our family history that evokes both personal memories and opportunity to share a bit of our story with new friends that visit us.
how many states have you lived in?
what project have you finished lately??
