busy

I'm super busy getting back into the swing of things at work...I teach.

So...I just want to share a couple of blogs I enjoy.

This bowl of fruit, later covered with yogurt was breakfast for Taylor at Joy of Food. Yum!

And Whit's Getting Fit treated herself with this Lara Bar.

don't worry
God is in control
He will give you rest
all you have to do is ask...and trust Him

talk to Him
tell Him everything
He is a father
and He is a friend

in the midst
of life's craziness
i can stop
close my eyes
and
be

still

"Come to me, all you who are weary

and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Matthew 11:28

dear romeo

dear romeo,
thanks for the unconditional love
thanks for following me everywhere
thanks for not making "messes" anymore
thanks for not chewing my shoes anymore
thanks for not chewing the furniture anymore
thanks for not chewing glasses, cables, etc. anymore

thanks for cleaning the floor whenever I drop any food
thanks for sticking up for me when the boys try to "get" me
you are the best dog ever!

xo, mom
