PLACES

PLACES I SEE GOD
I love the way the leaves of this squash plant gather drops of water along the edges each morning.  

My knock-out roses (I think that is what they are called) have bloomed in all their glory.







PLACES I NEED GOD
My almost-sweet-sixteen year old opened a bank account and got her first debit card.  With a driver's license in a few weeks, I definitely need God!

PLACES I PRAISE GOD
In Burger King, thanking the King of Kings for my three beautiful kiddos.


PLACES IN MY HEART WHERE SADNESS HAS SETTLED
-The sudden death of a friend today
-The grief of my friend who was there to find him
-Watching another friend make hard life decisions
-Watching people destroy their lives with drugs
-Knowing that the Thief has come to destroy and knowing he is just so good at it
-Navigating relationships
-Reading Emily Dickinson
-Being alone
-Not being alone

PLACES IN MY HEART WHERE THANKSGIVING ABOUNDS
-Sarah, Libby and Jacob
-Freedom in Christ
-Knowing the One who came to give abundant life
-Knowing that he is JUST SO GOOD AT IT
