counting my blessings instead of sheep.

my cup runneth over. and... air plants are cute.

what i miss.

so, hey!
i'm back. and it's a new year. and, yay! life is for living and i'm happy to live it.
realizing how blessed i am these days.

i had fun in new york, but when i stepped off the plane back on the west coast, it was a sigh of relief.
my life in oregon just fits like a glove. and i'm thankful.
it's good to be home, heck yes. but i've got a confession-
i do miss this cat. :)

have a great night. (go ducks!)
with love,
n

know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

especially this week, i hope you know.

merry christmas.

with love,
n

looking forward.

lately i've been doing that cliche "end of the year reflection" thing. no new year's resolutions needed- just paying attention and continuing to press on. here are two things that God has been putting on my heart. good, good stuff.

redemption, restoration
the Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. they shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.//isaiah 61:1-4


wisdom
...be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.//matthew 10:16

i am so thankful for my life and my God who is present in it.
