Happenings....

DJ and I had a chance this week to get away for a couple of days. Friends offered us the use of their condo up in Eden. Gratefully we accepted :)
It was nice and relaxing. One of the days we drove down to Draper to explore IKEA. It was DJ's first time there. He was really impressed with what they had to offer. So many options and ideas!
Cabelas was only a few more miles south so we went there also just to browse ~ seriously! no purchases were made :) One can dream though, right?


Today I took Ben and Heather down to Union Station to take their yearly pictures since we don't buy school pictures anymore (they are too pricey and predictable). I like how Heather's turned out ~ I need to take Ben out again though.

I'm working on a project in the kitchen. As much as I want it done I dawdle and procrastinate as always! I'm going to go work on it now so hopefully in a week or so I can show you the end result.  

I've been encouraged lately in my morning devotions. I'm reading Colossians 3 every morning. It's amazing what you start gleaning as you reread the same passage everyday. Along with that I'm reading through Jeremiah ~ one chapter a day. 

God so desires to shower us with His mercy, grace and love. To often we forget that He is also a Holy and Just God! He will allow us to bear the consequences of our choices yet continue to love us through it all.  His heart cries as we flop around like fish out of water determined to make it on our own. No matter how we flop and fail it never changes who God is. He is constant. He IS.
