“Try to view each day as an adventure, carefully planned out by your Guide. Instead of staring into the day that is ahead of you, attempting to program it according to your will, be attentive to Me and all I have prepared for you. Thank me for this day of life, recognizing that it is a precious, unrepeatable gift. Trust that I am with you each moment, whether you sense My Presence or not. A thankful, trusting attitude helps you to see events in your life from My perspective.

A life lived close to Me will never be dull or predictable. Expect each day to contain surprises! Resist your tendency to search for the easiest route through the day. Be willing to follow wherever I lead. No matter how steep or treacherous the path before you, the safest place to be is by My side.”  –Jesus Calling

My prayer today is that I will stay close to Him all day, knowing that His plan is still better than mine.

As much as I am a scheduled person, today I am thankful for impromptu date nights.

Jason & I went out last night for dinner & it was so good to get away, just the 2 of us.

I always feel better when we connect & are able to talk 1 on 1.

We went to Sam’s after dinner {yeah, we’re fancy like that}.

As we were walking through the aisles we remembered the time we had taken Lulu there with us.

I carried her in a wrap against me.

She wore her pink Ohio State hat.

An older lady came over to see her & say how beautifully tiny she was.

We walked around that giant store with the tiniest treasure we had ever been given.

Oh what sweet memories.

I miss you so much baby girl…
