seeking to savor all the seconds

• zoe's excitement about the campout! 
• when events are super close to our house
• God is Love by Chris Renzema
• good reminder: "why were we stressed about inconsequential things? What problems did we have that didn't have a solution?" 

• "just right" mixture of productive and restful
• time with laura lea and april 
• the poem about tulips and irises
• sweet little girl playing with the gifted dollhouse for 2+ hours

• the rain eventually stops and the water recedes
• sickness eventually goes away and the cough cease
• inviting the Lord into my feelings...all of my feelings...
• the table all set for the Ultimate Prom (so thankful that my oldest 2 have gotten to have such an experience twice now)

• catching up with the baxters
• synergy and laughter and teamwork at 4:30 on thursdays 
• papa's birthday card for eli made it :) 
• the team heading to the dominican republic in the wee hours of the morning saturday (please pray if God brings them to mind!)
