my most incredibly inspiring,
dear friend, Katherine Wolf
just spoke at our CBS group.

 

her words were raw and cutting
and pointed directly toward Jesus.
He has given her quite the story.
and what a blessing it is for all of us to hear
how He is continually using her life to reveal Himself.

 

 

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,
“I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me
will never walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12

 

1946. lunch out
1947. the light sprinkling of rain
1948. time
1949. a lit fire
1950. more computer gadgets from my dad

my dad is pretty great.
actually, that’s not true.
he’s really great.

he is a problem solver
and so is my B
(i think most men are.)

i’ve been using the same laptop for a few years now
and all of a sudden, things were moving really slowly.
actually, that’s being generous.
things were pretty much at a stand-still.

i was just about to leave for CBS a few weeks ago
and before i knew it,
and my dad swooped in and dropped off
an old (but new to me) computer.

and you know what?
problem solved.
things are no longer at a stand-still here.

he uses the excuse that he didn’t want to miss out
on not seeing one photo of his grandkids.
he’s good like that.

 

O my Strength, I watch for you;

a finished book is a beautiful sight.

 

and he just received his galleys!

(these are the pre-printed copies of the book
that get sent out for reviews).

things are getting exciting over here!

K’s very best friend is R.

 

they are in preschool together
and will head to kindy together next year.

 

they’re both second children
and they get along marvelously.

 

seriously.
i never ever
have to intervene when they are playing.

i think they’re both just so thrilled
that their older brothers aren’t around.

 

R’s momma and i secretly hope they get married someday.

 

and then we will bring out these photos.

 

this one might be my absolute favorite.

 

we are so blessed by this sweet family
who raises such sweet boys.

 

There is no fear in love.
But perfect love drives out fear
