174

The morning got off to a sad start today. Leanna wrote me an email and informed me of the death of two college students from my home church in Virginia. My heart was hurting all day thinking of their families' loss and how they must be feeling about this. I am so thankful that we have hope in God and that no matter what happens God has a wonderful plan.

...the knowledge that God is good and in control despite the heartache that life brings our way...

...encouraging words from friends during this sad time...

...comfort in prayer even in hard circumstances...

...facebook which helps me keep in touch with those that are also mourning...

...having one more day to be alive...

6. chair

Z is loving her new "chair"- no more laying around in the buggy for this little one. {unless of course she's napping} She loves looking around and taking it all in. I love being able to see her better this way and laugh together. Just today I got stopped at the grocery store by a woman that asked me if I knew how adoringly my baby was looking at me.  It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
