Outside my window... beautiful evening. Not too hot, not too cool.
 

I am thinking... about my sweet little Ali who is hurting.
 

I am thankful for... encouragement from friends.
 

From the learning rooms... we aren't getting any school done this week but we do still have a few chapters in math, some science, and some history left to go. UGH.

From the kitchen... Tonight was Alison's requested dinner- piggies in a blanket.

I am wearing... short denim shorts, turguoise/lavender striped tee.

I am creating... two cakes, 100 cupcakes, cupcake stand, embellished handbag. 

I am going... to fold five loads of laundry when I'm done with this blog entry.

I am reading... Summer by Karen Kingsbury.

I am hoping... that Alison feels better tomorrow.

I am hearing... a commercial for Dove Creme Bodywash.

One of my favorite things... Blake's smile when he is being ornery and teasing.

Praying for... Alison's shoulders, my neck

A Lyric or Two...

Stronger- Mandisa

Hey, heard you were up all night
Thinking about how your world ain't right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you're asking why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather

Oh, don't hang your head
It's gonna end
God's right there
Even if it's hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares

When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you ...

Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares

'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this

When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
In time it's gonna get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger

   

A verse to share... 

Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133

A picture thought...
