I'm pretty much sure that my parents are the only ones that read this blog... (Hi Mom) but after much prodding I shall update.
So I have completely lost keeping up with the 1,000 gifts this year. May got completely crazy with my birthday, end of school, missions trip to Louisiana, our anniversary, and now playing with my own three and three additional kids for the summer. There's not much time for "extras". We will be spending our summer playing, and splashing in the pool (I bought our family pool passes for the first time ever), and reading for the summer library program.
So that's my life. If I sat down I could easily count 100+ gifts to make up for the ones I've missed, but in actuality, every day is a blessing and I am so blessed to be used by God in just the everyday. God is so good- through the bad AND the good.
"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth
you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have
overcome the world." John 16:33

I will hide Your words in my heart
April 20: A gift stacked, stashed, stilled.
326. Stacked: waffle topped with cheese, stacked with a cooked egg. Pure perfection.
327: Stashed: Pool passes bought and now stashed away for that last weekend in May when we can start using them
328: Stilled: "Still your heart and know that I am God."

Stretching the Search
April 18: 3 Gifts Inherited
320. My no-fuss curly hair. Up easy and forget about it.
321. My love of music.
322. My love of nature.
(okay, so I know those last two aren't really inherited, but are learned things, but I also think we "inherit" our love of things)
