“It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than to complain about what is not given.
One or the other becomes a habit of life." Elisabeth Elliot

Life is so much more than things. Advertisers, popular culture & social media would lead you to believe otherwise but the fact still remains:

"We all come to the end of our lives as naked & empty-handed as on the day we were born. We can't take our riches with us." Ecclesiastes 5:15

So here's to a life habitually overflowing with thankfulness for a God who is worthy of our praise simply because He is the I Am. The Lord gives & He takes away & He is still God. Seek Him & find true, lasting contentment that no thing ever can give.

1. A weekend full of family / 2. Making our balcony, an extension of our home, colorful & cozy. / 3. The opportunity to meet & work with new friends. / 4. Reflecting upon the greatness of God from high above. / 5. Our small group said goodbye to a dear friend & prayed for her future / 6. Cleaning out our closets for the 3rd annual clothing swap & donating bags of items leftover!

 

 

Our home

It's been almost 3 months in our new home. And as my hubby & I both like to say, "Marriage is the best!" It truly is an incredible blessing to commit my life to Dean & spend our days together in this space. We are definitely not done decorating yet but it's such a blast to display our favorite memories, beautiful colors & patterns throughout each of the rooms.

Clearly, I have a thing for owl collectibles! The first is from Target's fall decor in the $1 bins last year & the ceramic owl was a wedding gift from our dear friends Amanda & Josh that is actually a West Elm teapot that we use a cookie jar :)
