Well this is last Saturday's outfit. 

But I did Sister Swap last Saturday so you poor dears had to wait a whole 7 long days 

before seeing this casual treasure and this series of jump-fest 2013. 

That's right everyone, we're getting jumpy up here in photo world. 

I know I talked about a new baby earlier this week, BUT yesterday afternoon my best friend had a baby boy who is a show stopper. This little treasure is seriously adorable. This is my second time being with my friend while she gave birth and it is one of the most amazing things ever in my opinion. Can you even try to top new life? ... Didn't think so. 

With my second cup of coffee today, and while I eagerly await this afternoons 

mani-pedi I will leave you with a verse that lifts my heart even when I am 

unfortunately feeling self imposed distance from God. This battle and fight 

to even have a desire to draw near to Him is so frustrating. But I love the 

constancy of knowing that my Father's love for me is so strong that He calls me 

His child. That alone is enough to claim victory even while still in the battle.

1 John 3:1

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, 

that we should be called children of God; and so we are. 

The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

PS: I gave some input on The Purpose Driven Life this week 

over at My Wholesome Home.
