Day #24
Feeling rushed and overwhelmed...How did I get here this early in the year??? There is Joy in this frustrating journey because believe it or not I am reminded more now then ever that I am not able to do it on my own!...that I have to be able to say NO to people and good things!

Day #16
Again a great reminder it is not all about Me!!! As much as I want the house done and want to move in...I don't want it to be at the expense of loving others well. Spent sometime in the am trying to tear up hardwood floor to be reused for my brothers new house.
Had a wonderful evening with people from our life group...celebrating our group and all the life we have lived together.
Day #15
I mean I know the Powerball has been 1.5 billion dollars but I already feel like I won the lottery with Luke!
Luke found a refrigerator that was everything we were looking for on craigslist...he hustled (ran all of his deliveries) at work to beat everyone to go pick it up! And now we have an awesome fridge!!! He is dedicated and such a hard worker! Blessed!!!
Day #14
Joy in the Lord's persistence!!!!
I have been struggling with not leading anything and feeling disconnected. God shows me that He constantly cares but it isn't about ME!

Wonderful evening worshipping at church after a long day working at the house! I am blessed over and over

Day #6
This year I am seeing the little things. Like meeting someone at the door...while I feel like it is a sign of familiarity if you just have someone come in...but being there to welcome them has a big impact on them! Give Love Away!

Little steps. God asks us to take little steps with Him. We want the big impressive leaps. But he asks for little steps and when we look back at where we started those little steps have gotten us a LONG way!!!! Joy in Obedience!!!
