Thinking Out Loud


Family Photos Are Here!

Our family photos are here!  Liz did a great job, and I wanted to share a few with you… so here they are!


Family Photos

We are getting our family photos done today!  I am so excited to have our photo shoot with Liz and to see how the pictures turn out (hopefully the weather will cooperate… right now it’s quite overcast).  Hope that you are having a great day!


Today

Today I was at work and was holding a sweet baby when one of my coworkers walked in–student nurse in tow.  Usually I am very nice to nursing students and all about teaching… but this girl set me off.  Probably because when she saw me holding this (sick) child, she said, “So you just get to hold babies all day?”  I wanted to smack her.  Hold babies all day?  Sure.  It’s not like I take care of sick, and dare I say, sometimes dying, babies day in and day out.  But no, my job is the easiest thing in the world… just hold babies all day.


Psalm 130

Psalm 130

My Soul Waits for the Lord
A Song of Ascents.

1Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD!
2O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

7O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.

8And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.

Grace in Small Things

Sometimes grace is giving a baby a bottle.


Ugh

It’s amazing how I can go from incredibly thankful and content to so incredibly angry and bitter in less than one day.


Well…

Since I never actually showed a picture of my new favorite outfit… here it is!!

I love my skinny jeans!

 

 


Ashamed

Today I was ashamed of myself.  I found that I was guilty of the very thing that drives me absolutely bonkers about some people that I work with.  I thought of myself as “better” than someone else.  I was a snob.  I was a jerk.  I didn’t even say anything… but sometimes it’s all about the attitude and the sin in the heart.

I am completely ashamed of myself.


Grace in Small Things

Sometimes grace is a crosswalk guard waving and smiling at all of the cars driving by.   And sometimes grace is a crazy dinner with friends.


Not Me!

Even though MckMama is taking a break from her usual Monday post in lieu of her sweet baby’s (very serious) surgery… I decided to do one anyway.

So here we go!

  • This week I did NOT pick up dog food at the grocery store, stick it under the cart, and then forget to pay for it once I got to the cashier.  I then did NOT totally and completely forget about it, even taking the cart back to the store after unloading everything else!
  • I did NOT get told for the 500 millionth time that I look pregnant.  Thanks.  Thanks a lot.
