About Our Savior

behold our God

This week on my agenda: praying, pausing, and painting {because I think we all could use a little bit more of these things in our life}. But before I head off into a quiet space for a few days…

Yesterday when G and I were at church, we stood to sing a new song that was unfamiliar to both of us. Forgive my lack of musically descriptive words in the words that follow. The first few notes of the piano were so chilling.  As the music continued and we began to sing the words, the chills did not stop and the words pointed me to the greatness of our God. The lyrics were all about Him and the only time it mentioned us was adoring Him – which is exactly what He created us for.  In the times that I’ve listened to it since then, I picture the day I get to meet my God:  a chilling entrance by my God where we recall all of His goodness, which only causes us to raise our hands and say,

“Behold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!”

What a day that will be. May true worship not wait until that day…

With Our Family

almost friday

Even though I no longer work a full-time job, I still get happy when Friday rolls around. It’s probably because it means more time with G {or maybe because of our Friday pizza dinners – I’ll never tell}.

I keep thinking today is a Friday.

While everything isn’t roses in the military-life, one thing I do like is something they call 96. Basically, it means they have 96 hours (4 days) of freeeeeeeeeedooooooom. They don’t give these often, usually just around holidays. When we were dating I always looked forward to a long weekend, and now here I am on the other side of it, looking forward to it just as much. So with Labor Day on Monday, G starts his 96 today {the reason I keep thinking it’s Friday}.

So with our extra time, we are heading to Georgia! This will be our first trip since we’ve moved so we G is looking forward to driving without a Uhaul in tow.

And did I mention we get to see this little family? {Well that is, everyone except for the Cali couple… boo to the states that separate us – but not for too much longer!}  Eeeeeeeps, I’m so excited!

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend whether you’re spending it with family and friends, catching up on sleep, working on projects, or packing away your white linen pants {I’m always a little sad about this one}.

Fall is officially on its way!
