– More quiplash


– Graham\’s idea for Nash family – drive by reception tomorrow night to let them know they are not alone

– Porch party with Chrissie and Marty

– My emotions all over the place this week – esp wrestling with sadness, fear, discouragement. I most definitely don\’t want to get stuck in them. I need You, Lord ~ your comfort, your clarity, your grounding voice. Thank you in advance for sharing generously, even before I feel it

– Stopping several times today to pray, like stopping to pray. I need your wisdom and you keep providing it, just in the nick on time. Depending on you is liberating. 

– Watching church as a family in the living room – going on five weeks now?

– This gorgeous weather

– Evening walks with Corbin

– Getting to see Mama and Papa tonight, Mama\’s allergies hopefully slowing down

– Always thankful to laugh

– Phil 2:1-5

– God so gracious to keep going before me, paving the way and providing wisdom and clarity just as we need it

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles…   1 Chronicles 16:11-12
