{ good friday }

All day the song "Lead me to the cross, where your LOVE poured out, bring me to my knees, Lord I lay me down..." keeps running through my head.  Today I keep thinking of 

the ultimate sacrifice, paid for OUR sins.  How heavy this weighs on my heart.

I pray we're all reminded so strongly, and so passionately, amidst all the Easter egg dying, egg hunting, and fancy outfits that ...

|| There is no Easter without Good Friday; no resurrection without the crucifixion; and no forgiveness without THIS sacrifice. May the Lord bless and keep you all on this most holy day - the day that our debt was paid by God made flesh Himself. - via ||

I can't wait for Easter Sunday when . . .

|| Matthew 28:6 ||

Hallelujah!

|| Happy Easter Weekend ||

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our morning started off great, my husband woke up early to go for a run before work and that gave me just enough time to make some delicious cinnamon rolls!  They didn't quite turn out how I thought they would though...I think Pinterest lied... :)

As you can probably tell, the top picture is how they were supposed to turn out, and the bottom picture is how they actually turned out [although it's sideways, they still don't look ANYTHING like hearts].  That's ok because we still ate them and my hubby was very happy when he came home to this sweet smell throughout the house.

After eating I let him open a present...

love + adore that guy! 

This year is an extra special Valentine's because I have not one, but TWO Valentine's .

 

 I can't wait to meet my new little man ! Adam got a little early V-day present when he got to feel our little guy moving and kicking for the first time on Sunday - such a precious moment!

Our house is all decorated and ready to celebrate tonight with some of our little nieces and nephews.  We aren't celebrating Valentine's with just us 2 until this weekend - we're headed up to Portland all weekend, so we are getting to spend the evening with our little darlings :]  We have crafts, cookies, and more in store for them, and we can't wait.

 lovely roses from my man

I hope you all have a day filled with lots of  L O V E !
