CM Handicraft Fair

 And that's a wrap. I am so proud of Luke for basically putting together the bristlebots and LED flash lights on his own. I am proud of Josiah for participating last minute... and Zachary? Well, he was adorable. It was cute when he'd wander about, and then one of the boys would stop him and say, "Zachary! You earned a dollar! Someone bought one of your strawberries!" and he would make that excited face. I laughed and told David, "Passive income at its finest!" 

And of course, look at Pearl's sweet face. She turned heads for sure! My bundle of joy with rolls upon rolls!

The rest of the year

 God, give me Your peace. Help me to trust in You and let go of these negative lies.  I pray Your healing here on earth and Your protection over my life. Allow me to live a long life, so that I may see the works of Your mighty hand. Help me live for You and not for myself. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done. 

--Psalm 118:7

Today

Dear Julie,

  Today is the day that changes everything. The choices you make today will set you on the course to live your fullest life moving forward. Every choice you make today will help the Julie of tomorrow. So make those good choices. Don't give up. Don't sabotage your work. Don't bypass your knowledge. Don't think this is too good to be true, and ruin it. Stay on the course. Don't follow what everyone else is doing. Don't listen to naysayers. Stay focused. Today is the day that changes everything. 

Your 4 children are your reasons. And because of HER, you have a reason to recommit to yourself.
