::A list of crafting dreams for the winter. Spring tassels, a Valentine shirt for Lydie, a flag banner for the kitchen. DREAMS!
::The boys' excitement for learning. Comparing Islam to Christianity. Comparing the lazy man and the diligent man. Letting them ask questions and make conclusions. Seeing them bask in the freedom they have in Christ. (For example, "So people try to earn their way to heaven? That's impossible!)
::Painting tiny, three-year old toenails the loveliest shade of baby pink. Her squeals, especially after she has spent two quiet days in bed with a virus.
::Very encouraging, friendly emails from the man that will be our pastor in Alabama. He's kind, funny, and so helpful. He's our age and went to the same college. The anticipation of new friendships!
::Finding out our Alabama church is filled with home school families and a home school co-op. (And finding out the Christian school option is not a fit for our family.) The black hole is filling with light!
::Witty, sister-to-sister texts from my best friend. We seem to have a constant conversation going on these days, even if only by email or text. She knows me so well! A longing fulfilled- a sister.
::Counting the days until we go on a Caribbean cruise in March. My family is giving the trip to us as a gift- 26 of us will be traveling together! And then in June, more tropical travel with Andy's family, another gift. Just when you think it will be a long time until you enjoy another vacation, He delivers beyond my imagination!
::A note that my friend gave me with prayer requests and these verses:
Matthew 6:33
"But seek first His kingdom, and His righteousness..."
Isaiah 64:4
"Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him."
