what a woman of God!

tonight i had the honor of mrs. linnia bretzke's company!

we made a delicious chicken salad, went to target, ate pumpkin ice cream, baked cookies, &made valentine's for our significant others...it was almost like a time-warp but with better quality conversation--ha!

it was such a blessing to spend time with my old [effortless] friend; she is so full of wisdom, encouragement, &laughter; it makes my heart glad!

friends are such a treasure from the Lord--pH!

{here's what i managed to make for peter. 

we got a bit distracted, from crafting, by our conversation--neither of us cared.

i'm excited about how this little piece worked out: simple yet quirky!}

naps...

especially the kind you don't know you're having until you wake up.

i got the pleasure of enjoying one of those, today!

boy was it needed; so refreshing!

...a fire that the world cannot explain...

i come to worship You.

the Lord has been teaching me about provision &i was so blessed during my quiet time. &&&of course i would be reading about joseph[&his coat of many colors] &all the ways the Lord provided for &prepared him to do great things in the name of God! the Lord is so creative in all the ways He pours into our lives &ignites our flames to burn for Him. i'm truly stoked to see how God will provide for me &how He is preparing me for His glory!

love. joy. peace. patience. kindness. goodness. gentleness. faithfulness. self-control.

lately, i've been craving fruit 

&thankfully my mother &employer have had the houses stocked with bundles of fresh &delicious snacks! 

praise the Lord; what a creative provider!

i've been enjoying some of the best oranges to date!

this all got me thinking...

i want the fruit of the spirit!

repentance; submission; forgiveness...ptL!

{there is love that came for us

humbled to a sinner's cross 

You broke my shame &sinfulness 

You rose again, victorious

faithfulness, none can deny 

through the storm &through the fire 

there is truth that sets me free: 

Jesus Christ who lives in me

You are stronger 

You are stronger

sin is broken 

You have saved me 

it is written: Christ is risen!

 Jesus, You are Lord of all

no beginning &no end 

You're my hope &my defense 

You came to seek &save the lost 

You paid it all upon the cross

so let your name be lifted higher

be lifted higher 

be lifted higher}
