this is my winter song to you.

the seasons always change
and life will find a way
ill be your harvester of light
and send it out tonight
so we can start again
is love alive
is love alive
is love alive
-sara bareilles & ingrid michaelson
what a beautiful picture of life with Jesus.

"Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick."
-Matthew 9:12
why do i spin my wheels to try to be so well, so perfect?

i.am.so.ready.for.spring.

and barefoot laying in the grass on a warm day.

anywhere you go, i will follow...

and no, i am not talking about the gilmore girls (that is their theme song. check it out HERE) what i am talking about is following oh and the world spins madly on aka my blog!
i love blogging and know there are readers out there, i see the counter creep up each day, but i dont know who most of you are. dont be ashamed! so, if you do find it in your heart, i would love it if you would follow my blog or leave comments.
also, blogs can get advertisers (how cool!) and it is all based on comments and followers and how many people visit. so, help a sister out, financial times are tough :)
for real though, thank you for reading the blog. it gives me life to have an outlet where i am totally 100% who God made me to be and i can share the good, the ugly, the petty, and the tender parts of my heart.
and since gilmore girls is about a mother and daughter i cant help but think about and miss my own mom this morning. isnt she the cutest:

i sure think so.

bow ties...swoon.

i just love a guy in a bow tie.




and then there is probably my favorite bow tie guy:

kitchen chairs.

i would love different chairs in all different colors around my kitchen table. here is some of my inspiration:

"not only will insecurity cheat us of reaching and then operating consistently at maximum potential, it also will turn our coworkers into threats and trap us into becoming posers. it will chase us to church, where we'll be so distracted by who we know or dont know, where we sit or dont sit, what brand we are or arent wearing, that we probably wont hear three words of the message." -beth moore "so long, insecurity"
a glimpse into my life as a teenager. and a college student. and sometimes as an adult. yuck. yuck. yuck. and for the most part you could say i was chased to my high school cafeteria, the office, friends houses, bars, parks, swimming pools, softball games, young life, the mall, the grocery store, the lake, the beach, and everywhere in between and i was so distracted that not only did i not hear the people around me but also the voice of Jesus in the midst.

ranunculus.

my favorite flower is just now coming into season so i will be on the lookout for ranunculus everywhere i go so i can put them in a mason jar in my house.

springtime.

just a few spring things i am coveting at anthro right now.

new york times.

my pastor is undergoing treatment for brain cancer and the new york times wrote an article about him and how he is trying to "suffer well". i love that phrase...suffer well...it is two opposing words that through Jesus actually go together. if only my heart truly believed in suffering well and the immense love of my Jesus. read the article about matt HERE. please pray for matt and his family, lauren, aubrey, reid, and nora as they journey through trying to suffer well.
i also found these images of the new york times "t" in different mediums. i love the creativity.
