Blessing A Day

I have been challenged by a friend to do a blessing a day for the month of November to prepare for the upcoming holidays. At first all I could think about was the burden of blogging/journaling or scrapbooking a blessing a day for a WHOLE month - and one of the longest months at that - AND during the busy holiday season. But what better way to take time out and reflect?! So, since I'm a day late, I have 2 blessings for today.

Blessing #1: The LORD. He is my rock, my foundation. Even though my hormones are way out of whack since I'm still nursing Stella and I feel as though I'm tossing and turning in the sea of life, I am not in a boat. I am standing on solid ground. He loves me. He cares about every little detail of my life. He forgave all my sins - past, present and future. He will continue to do a good work in me and continue to transform my likeness into that of His son, Jesus. And as a few of Jed and my favorite songs chorus' go, "He'll never let go."

Blessing #2: Jarrod, the man God gave me as my husband. I can't quite put into words how I feel about him. He is my best friend. He knows me as no other human being does. I can just be myself around him (I often break out with random dance moves). I feel safe with him. I feel understood. I love so much about him - how he loves other people, how he asks great questions, how conversation with him is never awkward, how he leaves twist ties on the counter, how he plays - like he's never really grown up, his imagination, his love for the LORD, how he can encourage me and pray with confidence. And those are just a few! Babe - I love you!

Here's a LO I just finished up. I just love Stella's toes. I loved Jed's but since it was winter they were always covered up and didn't manage to get any pictures. Hope you enjoy it!
