Life Lately
Last week was insanely busy. It was filled with driving and appointments and cleaning and organizing and celebrating a birthday and so many things.
Sometimes I just need to step outside for a few minutes to catch my breath. It’s so refreshing to walk barefoot in the grass.
I love turtles. They fascinate me.
Peonies are some of my favorite flowers. My husband bought me a peony plant a few years ago, and it’s finally starting to bloom. I just love this shade of pink.
One morning my youngest daughter walked outside and saw this beautiful luna moth. It’s the first one we’ve ever seen in person, although I had seen photos of them before.
And my fairy roses are blooming–another shade of lovely pink:
My oldest daughter recently got the rest of her top braces on. In a few weeks she’s supposed to get the bottom row. She found out that braces can be painful. Poor thing, I felt so sorry for her. Our youngest daughter had the molds made for her braces and she’s supposed to get them put on next week.
And, that would be my youngest, running down the aisle at the grocery store.
This week promises to be just as busy as last week. I’m praying for grace.
“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.'”
~2 Corinthians 12:9
Peonies are one of my favorites too! What a beautiful moth!

I was so excited when our daughter found that moth–we had never seen one in person before! 🙂

Smoothies are so helpful for braces! (Healthy, filling, COLD, and no chewing required!)
Crazy busy helps us to really appreciate the quiet times more fully, don't you think?
Hugs,

I agree about the smoothies! We'll be making lots of those in the months to come, I'm sure. 🙂
Yes, I do appreciate the quiet times so much. As an introvert, I really need those times!
I love peonies, they are my favorite flowers. My son just got his lower braces on and his teeth have been feeling bruised. So we know all about that, plus all of the running. I am sorry to say it doesn't stop when they become teens. Teens need and have more opprotunities to do things which require more running around. God will grant you the strength and endurance to help you get through it. He has for me. Praying for you.
Thanks for the understanding words, Christy! I have to drive 2 hours (one way) for my youngest daughter's ortho appointment tomorrow. I'm thinking positively about all of the one-on-one time we will get while we drive. 🙂
On the up side of that, having your older daughter drive will help her get her hours quickly.
That's a good point!
This post reminds me of me… crazy. busy. Full of fun surprises. Birthday! Turtles fascinate me, too!
I'll be praying for you – for grace. For peace to fill your heart and home!
We sound very similar, Bevy! 🙂 Thank you so much for the prayers!
