goooood morning!

how would you like waking up in this bed?! it reminds me of the princess and the pea.

i found this photo and the designer, Evan Haslegrave, in one of my favorite blogs this morning. evan and his brother are designers in brooklyn and were featured in the new york home design section online. pretty neat stuff!

what is at hand

today's thought:

take life as it comes.

we can only fully embrace what is at hand.

letting go

my mom is getting surgery this tuesday.

here is another circumstance for me to realize how i am not in control.

i am thankful for friends who hold me while i cry in their arms as they pray.

i am thankful that nothing goes unnoticed by our Creator.

He sees. He hears. He is heals.

embrace it

embrace every season you walk in. whether it's

dark,

exciting,

quiet,

loud,

lonely,

or full.

there is something to be acquired in each of them.

life would be boring without it's highs and lows.

without them life would not be lived.

without them life would be dead.

nahum

partly planned, mostly unknown

it's monday.

i'm excited to see what this week will bring. there are many times i would love to know the future but life would not be as exciting and spontaneous if i did know. i am learning to get use to that fact.....

so here's to a new week partly planned and mostly unknown!;)

p.s. i would love to be wherever that photo was taken!! amaaaaazing

this week

i have been spending the last few days with this wee one......

she makes me laugh! today in the car i was singing quietly to a song and she asked if i was singing? i said yes, and she quickly replied, "well, i can't hear you. sing louder!" so, of course i did. i cannot sing but she didn't care one bit! we'll see how long that will last;)

anyway, i have had a fun time hanging with this sassy two year old.

i have definitely learned a thing or two about freedom because of her.....
