Newborn Photo Shoot? Yes, Please!

Speaking of love…. I have another new niece to spoil.  Her name is Sophia, and her mommy and daddy let me indulge my photography habit and take her birth announcement pictures.  Thankyouverymuch.  My mom also got to indulge her creative juices and made Sophia’s flower hat.

This last picture is obviously an outtake, but just cracks us up (If you’re worried, we only let her cry for like 11 seconds… ok, 12). 

If you’ve got a minute and feel inspired, give this photo a caption.

Happy Monday,

Cobwebs? Already?

What?  I can’t believe this happened!  There are cobwebs all over my blog!  I did not intend for that to happen.  It all went down like this…  I started a new Beth Moore Bible study called “Breaking Free”, and it is seriously kicking my boo-tay… in a good way.  I have tons of homework every night, but it has given me the excuse to indulge in my Savior!  I have been spending two hours at a time every day reading my Bible, doing my study homework and listening to my worship cd’s.  This is so different for me!

I hate to admit it, but usually I am lucky to pick up my Bible dusty biblesat all during the week.  I have been known to dust it off before church so it looks used.  Sick, I know.  I may grab a devotional here or there during the week… read it online… or in the carpool lane while waiting for the kids after school.  But come on!  This is so different for me right now.  I am loving it and it is absolutely no effort.  What in the world is happening to me?  I don’t want it to stop.

You know what I’m finding?  God is pursuing me, and all He wants to tell me is HOW MUCH HE LOVES ME!  Super duper simple, yet so hard for me to accept.  I don’t feel worthy or good enough… and certainly too busy to stop and feel His love.  My broken foot has been the single best thing that has happened to me in a long time.  It has forced me to stop, to be still and to soak up God’s love.  One drop of it is enough to send my head spinning.  I am curious to see where the Lord and I are headed in this new season.

LOVE!!!
