We are rooted in grace

 


"We love because He first loved us." - 1 John 4:19

Saturdays are my exhale... no work... no meetings... just space to breathe. Well, that's usually the pace I practice. Today that rest blended beautifully with Valentine's Day. Instead of pressure or expectations, I lean into a celebration day rooted in grace. Love that doesn't perform or compare. Love that reflects the heart of my Lord. 

This year, we chose to intentionally keep things simple. A shared meal, a few laughs, and a moment to acknowledge the ways we've grown over nearly 24 (woah did I say that) years of marriage. The girls add their own sweetness to the day and then we have D&D tonight. 

Speaking of dungeons and dragons tonight, I will be the DM and I'm taking the party on a fun one shot adventure through the process of finding what happened to the post man and rescuing him then delivering the candy grams he was supposed to be helping to find their owners. I just love how love shows up in these shared stories. 

How has God's love shaped the way you love others?

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems.

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
