Flowers in the Mail


I love flowers, but I am not usually the lucky gal to get a beautiful bouquet.

Until today.

They added the perfect touch to an already glorious day.

Thanks, Mom!

Sabbath Sunrise on the Biology Trail


It was a grand way to begin a special day.
"Look what's comin' up over the hill..."
Evidences of spring.
Signs of a Creator.
Beauty all around.

Dear Emily,


Dear Emily,

I hope you know that I love you. You have every reason to know it, and yet sometimes you act as if you don't care about My love for you.

Emily, In case you were wondering, Yes- I am the One that woke you up this morning. The One that helped you make an A on that quiz and I am the One that put that lonely girl in your class for a reason. Do you know the reason yet?

Emily, you look so tired. Do you mind sharing your burden with Me?

Emily, keep growing in Me. I am the Vine and you are the branch. Keep producing fruit.

Emily, I know your dreams and your desires, so please don't worry about tomorrow. Trust me. I know the future. If you want me to hold your future in my hands, you won't be disappointed.


Love,
Jesus

p.s. I am coming soon!

Spring Break

In no particular order, here are some highlights from Spring Break. I had a splendid time and made many memories!

Spent time with Olivia's family and some fun friends in a big cabin in Gatlinburg.

Enjoyed getting to know my church family a little bit better.

Made some time for snow tubing too.

Had fun with this kiddo.

Singing hymns and spending time in the great outdoors.

I hiked many a mile with this fun crew.

These girls made me laugh.

Enjoyed friend time with friend Elise.

Took lots of pictures in Dublin.

Jumping in Dublin.

Being a spartan in Sparta.

Visiting the stonehenge in Athens... close enough to England I guess.

Wearing togas in Athens.

Thinking of Athena.
