One

day til I get my blood drawn,
week til my fundraiser ends,
month til I have surgery.

And one bad period left to get through.  Here's hoping it truly is the last one!

Words with Friends

Think of the immense love of God,
that
He used the wickedness
of Joseph's brothers
to save their lives.

John 6:68

"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."

A few weeks ago I got this verse.   Like really got it, heart, soul, spirit. And this morning I realized, how blessed am I that at such a young age God let me get it? There is no where to go but God; seriously, everything else is empty.  I mean, seriously.

 

 

I look back

on the naive sincerity of my early adulthood
and pray
and hope
that though I've lost the naiveté
I will never lose the sincerity.

Let Them Eat Cake

White cake with vanilla filling and plain buttercream frosting.  I thought there should be some chocolate in there, but not my day so not my choice! (Though I did sneak some in by frosting the extra sheet cake in chocolate buttercream.)

< 24

In less than 24 hours my sister had a baby, my favorite second-cousin got himself engaged, and I found out one of my close friends is moving to my city this Friday. 

Good, good week! :)  Happy 4th (tomorrow) everyone!
