whatever comes

In the harvest feast or the fallow ground,
My certain hope is in Jesus found
My lot, my cup, my portion sure
Whatever comes, we shall endure.
Whatever comes, we shall endure

-S. McCracken

Thankful this week. For...


- my little Levi, 9 months! (will post "Levi on the 7s" tomorrow!)
- a misty morning walk with Kirsten and baby Elliott
- my closet and Levi's nursery cleaned and organized
- another graduate class checked off the list for Bri, his "victory lap" around the Common
- my BFF, 12 weeks pregnant with Levi's BFF ;)
- lots of new hand-me-downs for the boy
- Rachel over, armed with plants and coffee
- a surprisingly healthy and vibrant garden
- when Levi stops his constant exploration just to sit and cuddle with mama
- Kimmie home earlier than I thought (!!)
- lots of energy and inspiration for new art lessons
- new cuddle sacks for new babies, Annie's baby shower and getting to see my Profe!
- worshipping with our neighbors at the Russian Orthodox Church, beautifully sung liturgy, countless candles, art everywhere, a friendly welcome, promise of collaboration in serving our city. 
- watching the Kentucky derby with Levi, with our derby hats on, of course... (by the way, who names their horse "I'll Have Another"? silly.)
