  *** i started writing this sunday night but got too tired and never finished…  among other things.
  
  Last week was emotionally charged on so many fronts.
  I had dozens of thoughts swirling in my head that ended up sitting in unfinished posts.
  But none of the words seemed to connect when I tried to process them,
  and I’ve learned with writing that it’s better to not force something if it doesn’t naturally flow~
  
  Then.
  came the weekend…
  
  and with it the breathing room of grace to once again, simply be.
  I know it’s always there. grace.
  But at times I can let the enemy completely suffocate me with his lies that I miss recognizing it.
  
  So grateful for the consistency of God my Father – in a world that is often anything but. His goodness humbles me and I find myself over and over amazed by how He reveals in those quiet places of ordinary days all the ways He says, “i love you.”

  chasing hot air balloons on Sunday::
  
  we spotted these in the sky coming home from Ben’s football game and decided it would be fun to follow and see where they landed… what a wild, crazy ride of quick turns, wrong ways, and me riding with my head out the sunroof to see where they went! when we finally figured it out and got to where they were going, we saw by the procession of cars that pulled in behind us we weren’t the only ones chasing balloons that afternoon! )

  a special piece of the weekend that got started sunday… though we didn’t get to see how perfect it fit into the puzzle of our lives until around 7:09 monday evening…sweeter than apples. more exciting than chasing hot air balloons. and forever changing the look {and number!} of those fall shots of the kids above….
