Blessings this Week: 07.24.2015

Some days, some weeks, finding those blessings is easy, you know? This week has been one of those for me. 

Don't get me wrong- there are still less-than-ideal situations. There are still frustrations and challenges. There's still stress, unmet expectations, demands on my time... but just a glance around, and God's incredible goodness is evident.

We went camping and horseback riding over the weekend... and in my opinion, we had the very best view
(of our nieces and nephew, brother, and in-laws)

That man of mine. He's such a romantic.

Little hands full of treasures

The chance to be a part of the lives of our nieces and nephews- and the funny little things they say, cuddles and hugs, and their sweet spirits.

Squeee!! Paint colors and choices and dreams!

In Season: Goodness

In this installment of our series about the fruit of the Spirit, Julie shares a thought-provoking challenge: "What can we do to represent the good God we serve?




The Answers (The Ones We Know Right Now, Anyway) 

... because apparently long convoluted post titles are just the way I roll.

This isn't a blog about infertility- but the way I view God, the way I read scripture, even the way I interact with the people around me are colored by this current struggle in our journey. But I never really explained what we're up against. I left lots of things unanswered.

So I'm filling in those holes today and giving you the answers (well, the ones we know).

-- And yes, two posts in one day-- rock-star me.



Have a wonderful weekend and a great week, my friends! 

Keep counting those blessings!
