hold us together

We listened to this song on the way home from church today by Matt Maher, and if you scroll to the bottom of my blog you can listen to it too. I've heard bits and pieces of it before, but it really caught my attention today after the sermon on sharing, and giving and it makes me want to be more intentional with each day as a gift from God.

After a  fast week of spring break full of life stuff, taxes, dentist, car troubles, internet issues,  and my husband working. I did manage to get the day away to go to KC  on a quick day run. Can't say no to non-stop girl fun!:-)  Plus a lot of thrift shops too many to mention! I just know that I can't let these life things discourage me, but find the good around me and enjoy it and embrace it!

I want to be intentional in my prayer time.  I want to be intentional in how I treat, love, and respect Nolan.

I want to be intentional in my relationships with my family and friends. I want to be intentional about sharing God's love with those around me. 

I know that this will be a life long journey of allowing the Lord to work in me, but I know the God that loves me will light my path. :-)

Just like being a home owner and learning to do projects yourself, it is a daily struggle to keep up on the house hold duties, like dishes, laundry, making the bed, vacuuming, dusting, taking out the trash.  I cherish the days the house is clean, it makes me feel so much better. Putting some shutters on the house this week was a fun experience, and pretty easy!

We worked together to put these up. I was one who held it in place and my husband drilled the holes. I was a little scared about putting holes into the siding but totally worth it to make the house look more homey. The tulips are starting to come up! :-)

Is a good recipe for a week of spring break, even though it's not Cancun or Florida I embraced the surroundings of the Midwest! :-)
