Things I Love About Today-
catching up with Maggie!
overly friendly bank tellers
Michael's Arts and Crafts Store
watching people react to different situations
staying cheerful when other people are crabby
Noah making lunch
hanging out with my Mama
listening to Elijah and Mary play piano together
caking (like baking, but better)
really long phone conversations
caking some more
Bailee coming over!
talking with her
still caking
trying on dresses together
cuticle clippers
crafty projects
finally finishing the cake (for today)
talking with my Daddy
Verse of the Day-
Romans 5:1-8
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

You're going to miss this
You're going to want this back
You're going to wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're going to miss this

Things I Love About Today-
not having a crick in my neck from sleeping on the couch
being wide awake at 6:50am
toast and water
being amused by Hannah rushing to get ready
talking with Annie
planning with my Mama
chicken salad and juicy mangoes
organizing all my cake stuff in the pantry
planning Caleb's graduation cake
cleaning out, wiping out, and organizing the refrigerator
Caleb's graduation picture board
laughing at Anna standing outside thinking that the door was locked :)
the last choir practice of the year
Starbucks after choir practice
Kris winning American Idol!
Nathan trying to trick me, but ending up "ruining" it for everyone... :)
rambling more and more the tireder I get
Something I don't love about today- I left my Bible at Ami's house :(
Verse of the Day-
1 Corinthians 1:10
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

Tuesday
Things I Love About Today-
lunch with Lindsay!
small group with beautiful, godly young women
grocery shopping
dressing up for the tea party
gloves, pearls, hats, and heels
putting the entire contents of my bobby pin box in my hair
Hannah, Anna, Amy, and Amanda
tea parties!
pretty floral dishes and delicate food
silly pictures
looking like a Southern belle
mine and Amanda's twin phones
caravanning from Amy's to Ami's
chatting out on the screened in porch
crazy mad libs with the girls
laughing at Hannah rolling around laughing
Rollen the perfect-sized dog
finding out that Amy and I are the same personality type- ESFJ
thinking about it, and realizing how crazily alike we are
staying up late with her
Verse of the Day-
1 Peter 3:3-4
Do not let your adorning be merely external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything but only faith working through love."

So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.

Love never ends.

Things I Love About Today-
Mary Kate's birthday!
"sleeping in" until 9
hearing that 5 of my friends read my blog :)
taking the kiddos to soccer
reading Galations and Feminine Appeal in a lawn chair
planning spontaneity...?
Whole Foods!
free quacamole samples
giant waterbottles and mangoes
fruit galore
baking and baking and cooking and baking
grilled food
eating outside
laughing at my siblings playing the wii
playing guess who
talking to my best friend Bailee :)
Verse of the Day-
Galations 2:15-21
We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I know live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if justification were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
