Well, some of you may know we went to the House 2 House regional conference over the past weekend. We stayed in Buena Vista at the Young Life Retreat Center (best "camp/retreat" food ever!). It was great, however the first night we hardly slept and I got sick (of course). So, pray for me. I have a messy house, homeschool to start again with Hope, a sick baby, dirty kitchen, unpack from the trip and a 3 & 4 year old who are FULL of energy! Needless to say, I am not very motivated and my patience...well, it's quite a struggle right now ;)
I'll post some pics and share a bit about what we learned when I get a few more important things checked off my list!

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik
Favorite Quotes From C.S. Lewis
"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."
"This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted."
"Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult." I really resonated with this one!
"The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."
"The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not."
"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!""
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."
"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn."
"Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite."
"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."
"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."

- I love my husband, kids, blogging, photography and house church gatherings. I believe the most valuable way I can spend my time is enjoying other people that God has brought into my life. I want to enjoy God to the fullest here on earth and seek to be a part of His Kingdom here on earth.
