Weekly Recap

I know, I haven't posted anything since last week's weekly recap...but it's been a busy week!

in one word or phrase: great but tiring.  I feel like I spent the first half of the week driving & the second half trying not to have a cold.  I lost.

I'm dreaming of you: The day I get to go here.

song on repeat: Dave Barnes' Amen

gotta write it down: Favorite things Beth Moore said in last night's session her Revelation study:  

{1} He is romantic to the bone (goes on to point out that God began Scripture with the union of Adam & Eve, Jesus performed His first miracle, revealing His glory, at a wedding, & God ends Scripture with a wedding...the wedding of the Lamb).   

{2} Dance in advance (it's going to be great...anticipate & go ahead & celebrate).

{3} We're allergic to the idea of death because eternity is set in our hearts.  Reminds me of this C.S. Lewis quote:

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

{4}"A name was written on Him that no one understood except Himself." (Revelation 19:12b, NLT)  This name has never been profaned, never used carelessly or thoughtlessly.


{5} "from 'once upon a time' to 'kingdom come'—you are God."  (Psalm 90:2, The Message)

{6} "I will betroth you to Me forever." (Hosea 2:19, NIV)

picture to frame:  My grandmother LOVES dragging her water hoses all around the yard & counting her blooms.

highlight of the week:  {1} I spent a few days with my grandparents (being the chauffeur to doctor's appointments).  Yummy food, my favorite bed, lots of Phase 10, even more inappropriate to tell your granddaughter interesting stories, & lots of reading time.  {2} My barely 4-year-old cousin asked my mom "Do you want to go to Heaven?  Jesus Heaven.  Cause I'm going.  On a bird."  When I was telling my 7-year-old cousin this, another 4-year-old heard & said "You DON'T fly to Heaven on NO bird!  Jesus just sucks you right up!"  {3} Found out that I am finished with boring retail for the summer!  This summer I will be either at Mulberry or keeping 4 of my favorite kids! :)

weekend plans:  Errands in Athens today, animal/house sitting for 2 families (apparently I'm a pro now...am doing this at least 2 more times this summer.  Strange.), hopefully lots of time by the pool, church picnic on Sunday, working on some paintings.
