As Max Says It...

One of my adorable friends sisters, if we're counting longevity and emotional connectivity ;), posted this up on my fb yesterday, tagging myself and a few of others. I felt it entirely appropriate to the string of recent happenings in my life, and the attitude adjustment I've forced myself to recognize in overcoming a couple different hurdles. It's nothing unmanageable, so don't fear; I'm good :). It was more a staunch reminder that life is still life, and as a participant, I am still human, capable of great feats and also major fails at the same time.

Six days ago, my friend Molly had shared this quote, verbatum, from author Max Lucado, and at that exact moment in time, it felt as though I needed to see that more than any other combination of words. Yesterday, my dear Kanice slapped this puppy right up on my page as a reminder that it really is possible to move on and let things go. Take heed, folks. I know I did. Moll & K have never met, but I'm not certain that God wants me to take this theory and commit it to heart. Consider it done.

I've said it countless times before, but it won't stand as false to repeat: the people that I've been blessed to have incorporated in my life are of a calibur to be admired. I'm blessed, in ways not measurable by any standard other than my best efforts to reciprocate their love, support, and encouragement. God is good, all the time.

[and all the time, God is GOOD!]

dear mom, notice the 0 mph.
i wasn't moving & photographing.
i promise :).



It was blazing hot outside today, at least for May in the midwest. I snapped this little guy while I was waiting at a red light earlier today. I made my way over to the park to spend lunch in my car. It seemed a little counterproductive and certainly unfair to the environment, as I sat with my AC on yet with the windows cracked as I trodded through a few more chapters of a book I've been reading.



midday reading? i'm for it!



Speaking of, five totally useless points for you if you can identify this book just from its cover without Googling it. :) It really isn't that hard, but in case you're really trying to no avail, I'll give you a few hints:

1. It's the third in a trilogy.
2. The first was just recently made into a major box office smash hit.

3. Katniss Everdeen!

^ I'm not helping you anymore if you didn't get it yet. Haha.

Oh, and I received a call from Trish this morning asking me to stand in for her this Sunday for praise team; I delightfully obliged, and so dedicated my evening to church and praise team practice.

It's been a productive day; it's [still!] gorgeous outside and Friday is juuuuuust around one more corner! :)
