struggling-to-stay-silent sunday

 

this week i

• walked the mall with my SIL... we are all eager to meet the new baby boy!
• discovered my love for fiber one brownies (only 2pts) and then was sad when i went to get more last night and the grocery store was out! for shame!
• got crafty... i made a mason jar soap dispenser, toilet paper roll wall art and a painted canvas with chipboard letters. so excited to have the creative juices flowing again!
• got to have sonic with my dear friend jenny after a fun night at the outlets where i scored the most beautiful duvet at the PB outlet... hope to show you that soon!
• saw a rainbow... i have been praying for a rainbow sighting... these past few weeks have been very emotionally taxing and i needed a visual reminder of God's promise and boy did he give it to me! one of the biggest rainbows i've ever seen. thanks jesus!

happy sunday!

 

ps- i redid my blog last night so if you're reading through google reader, pop on over and let me know what you think :)

give me eyes to see you

i really need to stop watching pride & prejudice. it certainly isn't helping my love life. oh wait, what love life? hah! i can't help it though. that storyline... it gets me every time...

that probably explains why i sat at home alone on a perfectly good saturday night. normally i wouldn't mind, but for some reason today i did. i think it was just one of those days... you know the rainy, windy kind where you can't really go anywhere without getting soaked and end up staying inside watching decorating television. normally i wouldn't mind that so much, but it's not really want i wanted out of my day today. but alas, we cannot always have what we want. i think i'm just in need of some stimulating conversation which sounds almost silly to say. i was fortunate enough to get that last night however, on my evening out with my girls (cheers to katie and lyryn).

despite all of today's ugliness i did catch a glimpse of a rainbow. the sun managed to poke its way through the dark clouds this afternoon only to reveal a faint, but visible rainbow. perhaps a sign of things to come? good things? one can only hope. i found this picture online and i like it so i'm posting it here.



"All beautiful you are, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.

You have stolen my heart,
my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes..."
