Sunshine at last!

We are finally having sunshine and warm weather this week! Hurray! It feels like summer is finally on it's way.

Emma and I spent the morning yesterday outside planting flowers. She was so cute sitting on her blanket playing with her blocks. She is learning to love being outside.

Her new favorite thing is the dogs. I don't know what it is but whenever she sees them, she burst out laughing. She loves petting (patting with the closest toy) the boys. They are really good with her. Thumper is especially good and will let Emma do anything to him. She was playing with his big floppy ear yesterday and he just layed there. Such a good boy!

Church last night was amazing! God is so faithful and good to meet us right where we are, exactly when we need Him most. After a fairly stressful week so far, it was good to just sit in His presance.

Pastor Ed gave us a great quote that I've been meditating on today.

"Discipline requires giving up what is good, or even better, for only what is the best." If I want to follow Jesus, I have to be obedient. I might be able to make something happen on my own that is good but He wants to do what is best. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense. In my experience, if it isn't logical, it's probably God's will. And His will is always the best.

Have a blessed day everyone! Off of work and going over to mom's house to help her get ready for Calvin's graduation party! Yikes!
