"In repentance and rest you will be saved...": April 2013

I believe you could say this was the season I fell in love with Macon. Maybe it was cherry blossom festival, Ginger opening (awesome stir fry restaurant), the annual church picnic, my favorite season beginning (spring), and/or all of it together!

Reasons I <3 Macon (not exhaustive):

Macon is BEAUTiful this time of year which means driving with top down AND I don't have seasonal allergies #boom

Continuing to learn that GOD PROVIDES:(never let's me down #faithful) A quote I recently read and like: "To those who love God, nothing unredeemable can happen to them." -Dallas Willard. Something similar could also be found in Romans 8.

Loving Macon friends and families: DANTZLERS (indebted from their generosity towards me) Lesleins, Rios, Iris Archer, all the women in my Bible Study, Kathleen Collins (who's words of wisdom come close to the inspired word of God) -she would hate that I just said that;) and all the people that have made Macon home- just a few shout outs.

Freedom in singleness: Growing to love where I am and God's GREAT purposes for it- Taking advantage of serving Christ in all the ways I can as a single woman that I may never get as a married mother: a favorite... girly SLEEPOVERS!! which may involve nail polish, movies, girl-talks and most likely laughing spells. "The gospel of Ruth" by Carolyn Custis James greatly encouraged this contentment. Ephesians 2:10

Church picnic: my heart sings watching families and all ages playing and hanging out together as one.

CrayCray family:

They teach me the reality (joys and challenges)
of raising a family in Christ.

Sunrise in Macon:

My friend Thomas has this really cool discipline of watching the sunrise every morning which has inspired me to enjoy it as well...great way to start a day!
