Blessings this Week: 04.17.2015

Have you ever had a moment when you just stopped, just stopped and looked around you and thought, "I'm not sure how all this happened. I never thought my life would look like this- it's all too wonderful. I'm so blessed- I don't deserve any of it." 

Yeah, it's been that kind of a week for me. 

..   ..   ..   ..   ..


We had ever so much fun playing with these two sweet girls (two of our wonderful nieces)

..   ..   ..   ..   ..

and with their baby brother (oh, and Uncle Jayden, too)


..   ..   ..   ..   ..

Trevor's side of the family got together for a slightly belated Easter celebration, complete with a windy-day Easter egg hunt


(a word to the wise- the gold eggs have money in them) 

... of course, Trevor found a whole lot of golf balls and not so many eggs.

We've also enjoyed just gorgeous weather this week- it's got me in the summer mindset! 

..   ..   ..   ..   ..

About 85 kids who will be joining us at Camp this weekend

..   ..   ..   ..   ..

Wings spreading and dreams coming closer

..   ..   ..   ..   ..

A date night with dinner (pizza!) and a movie

..   ..   ..   ..   ..

Grass turning from dry and brown to green and growing again

..   ..   ..   ..   ..

And some things that never change. 


..   ..   ..   ..   ..


Just in case you missed it... 



"There are so many lies out there. I don't really think that the number of lies has changed in the past fifty years... it's just that we have so many more ways to consume them now. It's easier to swallow the lies when they're everywhere, in everything."

There are so many of us- Christians with gifts and talents. The world needs to see us. Needs to see how we live, how we deal with failure, how we deal with pain... how we love.



After I shared a little bit about why I carry around a huge planner with me all the time, I got a few questions about how it works, how I use it, what I've got in there, anyway. So I wrote about it! 



What have you been blessed with this week? 

Have a great weekend!!
