Each July I find myself looking over the year and evaluating where I am at with God, remembering things I have learned, repenting of ways I have failed Him and celebrating ways He has changed me. I am so thankful for the life that God has given me. Yet there are so many times I fall short at bringing glory to Him in my heart- outpouring through my words and actions. The truth that I have been thinking about is that no matter what I feel or do....He still loves me and pursues me like crazy. I know that I am a work in progress and I will never feel like I have "arrived" spiritually (as Sam reminded me last night). The amazing thing is that by God's example of pure love and grace I am inspired to be more loving and gracious in my life. And all the glory is for Him!
Here's a little synopsis of what we have been up to besides my recent thinking. Sam's been working diligently at MH and I've been busy at home. The highlights of these two past weeks are: we went to the beach again, Mason got two little cute crowns of teeth, I started playing Wow with Sam (I know..I know... I never saw that one coming either), we visited with Julia & Curtis whom just had their baby girl Lillian!!, I decorated Mason's room a little with black polka dots and guitar paraphernalia on the walls and we went out to dinner at Outback to celebrate Sam's raise, which we are so thankful for! Well, that was one ridiculously long run-on sentence of our recent weeks. Enjoy the pics!
