Our Newlywed Experience

Within the Body of Christ



Daily receiving life and grace from His constant hand:

"I said to the Lord, 'Thou art my Lord;

I have no good besides Thee.'" Ps 16:2

Spring Semester Photo Updates: Scene 2 "Come and Listen..."

“…Let me tell you what He has done for me.” Psalm 66:16

Had a wonderful catch up time/phone date with a dear girlfriend from undergrad this afternoon, Lindsay.

I think she may be second, only to Grayson, on the “Shoulder I’ve Cried, Laughed, and Snotted On Most” list.



Catch-ups not only are the opportunity to find out the current state of affairs in your friend’s life, but to also get a “step-back glimpse” at your own.

Our verdicts?

We’re both blissfully happy.

Absorbing His blessing.

There's so MUCH I want to simultaneously process and share here right now, but hardly even know where to begin! For now I will wait...

I will say that the Lord has called be back to intentional, constant, daily Scripture MEMORY. Not just reading and cherishing, but solid memorizing. Sowing it into my heart, and experiencing its bursting forth with life and freedom.

“I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me LIFE.” Psalm 119:93 Amen.

So for my birthday Grayson got me a few pink Moleskin journals, small enough to tuck inside my purse and carry wherever I go. I have been filling those pages non-stop with precious bits of life I want to tuck inside my heart.



The first verse?

“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.” Jonah 2:8

Phew... Amazing. Refining. Convicting. Restoring.

I wish I could share and process all that has been on my heart, all that Christ has been leading me through. It would take an entire weekend I’m afraid…

So for today, it’s just these precious Scripture “Bits of Life” and a few more pictures :)

Dodgie jumped in here one day while I was studying, and I actually DID have to take him to a Monday evening class that NEXT week! He was an ANGEL and everyone loved him - even the professor, who has had Yorkies before :D

Stress ulcer everytime I opened my closet
