Picture so pretty.

1. Children are unique creatures :). Even though I feel like they suck every ounce of energy out of me and absorb it into themselves, I just love them! They are invaluable. I think as adults, we want to think that children are more naive about the things that go on in the lives of their parents and loved ones. Sometimes though, in all of their smiles and uninhibited energy, a something else that puts a little dent in my heart and makes me want to take all of their burdens onto myself. I love interacting with them, seeing their craze, their joy, and also being able to share in what hurts their own precious little hearts.

2. I'm exhausted! I don't know why. I vaguely remember going to sleep last night, but I don't remember sleeping at all. I woke up after what seemed like I had been knocked out for 7 hours. I think a night in reading and doing laundry is good for now. I'm rather excited about it, now that I've officially decided to do that.

3. God is so good. SO good. In different spells, I have been learning about being generous, truly thankful, simplistic, loving, hopeful, etc. I want so much to be a Godly woman and to continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of my Lord, Jesus Christ. It is always a gift to worship God; to be before God crying out holy, and worthy is the Lamb who was slain, and to be joyful despite the brokenness in my life, in the lives of those I love and find all around me. Knowing what I know about myself, I am always amazed at the infinite amount and way that God loves me.

4. It is (scary) WINDY and COLD outside! Please take a moment to pray for the ones who do not have shelter and if it is possible, reach out to them.

5. Haven't you heard? I'm stuck on a verse. I'm stuck on a boy who fills me with joy.

6. I've decided that I don't like to listen to or watch news about our economy. I know that's probably a bad thing. But I can watch everything else. I think I just need to crunch the numbers myself and come up with my own conclusion. Guess I should pick up that book about micro-financing...

7. I found the most adorable ornaments that will end up being apart of Christmas presents at Macy's yesterday- everything was 60% off.

*NEW* 8. "Redeeming Love", by Francine Rivers. If there was ever a work of fiction that spoke to my every desire, this book is it. Freedom and Love, my most favorite things all wrapped up in a beautiful, tragic, and beautiful again romance. It's such a girl book, and I am such a girl.
