growth

“All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
 But the word of the Lord endures forever.”

1Peter1:24-25

Today as I looked within I realized the importance of casting my pain onto the cross of Christ. 

I can hand my struggles and fear to our amazing Father & know that I am safe.

lately.

Ben started his phd at the University of Kentucky.

He is catching lots of bass these days.

We explored Chicago.

I went to the fair, ate tons of fried goodness, & saw interesting things (yes that girl is laying on her pig).

We went to the park with Grayson & Aydie.

The pups don't like it when we sleep in on Sundays--they're hungry.

Ben built me shelves out of old wood floors.

Mel got married to Alex. 

Happy September Friends!
