A Cloudy Sunday
Sigh. :) It's a happy, content sigh.
I'm not at church this morning.
Before you judge me... We think Aubrey might be coming down with something, and I didn't want her weak immunities to be exposed to all sorts of baby yuck and nastiness in the church nursery. I'm in love with our nursery workers, and our nursery at church is just wonderful. Seriously. But let's just face it... babies are gross. All of them except for mine of course!!
I've been in a reflective mood this morning. It's a cloudy morning and thunderstorms are forecast for this afternoon, a perfect day to be inside with your coffee.
Been thinking on a few things...
This past weekend was the 3rd annual Cross-Power Ministry Conference for married couples. Tyler and I have had the intense honor of leading worship for this conference for the past three years. So many at our church volunteer and pour out themselves for the people who come to attend the event, and I was trying to figure out this weekend why we all look forward to this conference. I believe that it's because we experience the church actually being the church. No pretense, no judgment. Just people who love Jesus, loving each other. I miss my new friends already.
The girls on the Praise Team at our church have been reading through Beth Moore's new book "So Long Insecurity." I was NOT expecting it to wreck me as much as it has. I knew I was insecure but I had no idea I was so INSECURE. It's been quite frightening, and ugly, and redeeming, and relieving all at the same time! I've realized so many things about myself that it would take me all day to type them out. But I will say, that I know now that insecurity isn't something that we should just sweep under the rug. GIRLS... it's something we can beat. And be freed from. I am putting my foot down and I'm demanding my dignity back. I am lovely. Clothed with strength and dignity... because Jesus has given me such a treasure. I'm almost finished with the book!!
Aubrey will be 1 soon you know. ONE YEAR OLD. Some days it feels like it's been 1 week and other days it feels like it's been 1 hundred years. She's so busy! And fast! And into everything. Including the fake moss in an artificial plant. I'm still not sure how much she actually ate before I caught her.
I love her so much.
Randomness... A couple of fun things I saw this morning...
I'm loving this party idea blog.
And I'm so excited about trying this recipe for Cajun Chicken Pasta. Doesn't that look irresistible!?
Love you all so much!
