Another one saved!

Glad someone or someones spoke sense into her.

(Oh, and the compliments are nice too.)

We did good. But I'm so exhausted now.

Figures

One of the first pictures I take is of my injured thumb.

"Eew, it's so gross...."

Love it

Battery drained far too fast. Love the new one. Can't stop playing with it.

Low tide

Patience

In this season, I think I’m finally learning to wait on God to fight my battles for me. Learning. (Sigh, blah, but okay, Lord, I'm definitely not perfect. It's You making all these changes anyway!)

Last night I listened to a John Ortberg sermon on “Love is Patient,” and he shared an anecdote on how Dallas Willard described Jesus as “relaxed.” Ortberg’s sermon was on how we can truly relax because God has everything under control.

And Ortberg is right. We’re fighting a battle that we know we will win. My devotions was also on 2 Samuel, Chapter 6. God went before David in every battle and fought it for him.

This doesn’t mean that I won’t know suffering. God will certainly allow bad things into my life—but I will never be alone, and He will use it for good. But whatever happens next, my God is with me, and the battle has been won. So the message for this season is to wait.

And finally, I think I don't just know this as scriptural truth in my head. I know how this feels as truth in my heart. 

This is the difference.

Strange place

For better or for worse, I've returned to thinking a lot about work and what it might mean for me. 

I need something new. New direction? New methods? New objects?

But also feeling like I need a vacation. Land needs to lie fallow if it is to keep being productive, after all.

I guess you could put it that way

We did really well against XD teams. Coach A had a cold that day but he didn't hold back a bit. Thankful for His people.

New tastes

I'm definitely not sharing the chips. Maybe I should share the cookies because they're sweet. But what if I like them and don't want to share after all??

Decisions.
