I can see clearly

Today I am reflecting on the goodness of God.

Sometimes I get so caught up in the shuffle of life. Caught up in my own thoughts on faith. Caught up in everyone else's thoughts on faith. Things can start to get hazy. Fuzzy. My thoughts get jumbled. The "big issues" make my head hurt.

Today I am thankful for the sweet moments God gives us, every now and then, to remember that it's all really quite simple. A few moments where the hazy veil is lifted, and I can see clearly, the Gospel. Not watered down or cluttered up. Just the Gospel.

I need Him. Very, very much.

He loves me. Very, very much.

He made a way. Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ bring freedom. healing. restoration. hope.

And for a short time anyways, I am reminded, and I can see clearly.  :)

Daddy Daughter Day

Saylor and Matt had a daddy daughter day this past Saturday while I went to work. They had a fun day together and Matt later told me that these days are crucial and necessary for their bonding, so we need to do them more often! :) 

When I got home they showed me a fun new game they invented. It's called: wear your swim diaper as a hat! Saylor thought this was hilarious and now loves playing this game. She'll bring Matt and I one of these and say "hat, hat, hat." until we put it on our head or hers.

(They did have one small mishap related to forgetting the diaper bag/extra diapers while waiting in line for a snow cone, which is why she is wearing only a diaper in these pictures. This was actually a pretty funny story when told by Matt).

Sorry there are so many pictures...I am having trouble with my computer and too impatient to sort them out.
