“But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.”
Hebrews 7:24-25

“He is able;
He is willing: doubt no more.
Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify:
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings us nigh—
Without money,
Come to Jesus Christ, and buy.”

 

From blustery dreary February days to magnificent spring in under a blink. Evenings are now enjoyed outdoors walking while the sun so magnificently sets [or if your Emmi, collecting rolly pollys ;)]! Coffee cups have gone missing only to return filled to the brim with bouquets of glorious wildflowers… and icecream is obviously a necessity! ;) So, Hello Spring!! Aren’t y’all excited to see it come?! :) Days have been busy here as we returned home from vacation and jumped right back into work. With so many things to be grateful for in this week, it’s hard to sum up all the Lord has done for me just in the “normal” everyday. I think we often forget to count our blessings during the “normal” as we are always waiting for the abnormal to take place! Something the Lord has been reminding me of lately is His great works. I was finishing the gospel of John last week and came to John 21:25 [a favorite verse of mine!!] “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.” A very hearty AMEN to that. :)  From there, verses just seemed to spill out of the Bible that morning regarding God’s great works such as >> Psalm 139:17-18 >> Ps 40:5 >> Job 9:10 >> Job 5:9 >> Ps 105:5 [STOP! ←read verses then continue forward ;)→ ]. The works of God are innumerable! In the word’s of the psalmist “If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.” That’s exactly how I feel right now.  And His great works aren’t just present when the extraordinary happens but also in the ordinary every day hustle and bustle! :) If you think about it [and I know, I have said it before] it is nothing short of a great work of God… a miracle that your heart beats when it’s suppose to or your even able to get out of bed in the morning.  He DAILY loads us with benefits[Ps 68:18], clothes us in HIS righteousness[Is 61:10], HE guides us[Ps 48:14], and HE sustains us[Ps 54:4]!  :) So, don’t forget to give thanks to the Lord today for His innumerable works. They are great!  “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” [PS 118:24] So, what’s your favorite part about spring?? :)  Randomness from my week via pictures. Hover for descriptions and enjoy! ♥

“But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 9:24

 

 

 

“ O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.”
Psalm 136:1

What a whirlwind of a week!! Busy but so much goodness in this last week or so and yes, we even took a road trip. :) I was blessed to be asked to be the photographer for the KBR conference in Kansas City so after lots of packing and preparation[and extreme anticipation from the kiddos] over the mountains and through the woods we went[okay, so there weren’t any mountains but Kansas does have some hills]! ;) I can’t tell y’all how much I enjoyed meeting old friends and making new ones plus I finally got to visit with my lovely Kansas friend, Sarah!!!! Conference photography, lots of fun with family, doughnut stops[world’s best doughnut store just happens to be in Kansas City!!], and other randomness. Too much fun! The Lord truly blessed us with good fellowship + safe travels and I am so extremely thankful for His allowing us to make this trip! So, randomness from the iPhone and a few from the camera!

“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”
John 15:11-12

 

“But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.”
Psalm 13:5

“And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.”
Matthew 18:3-5
