devotional wednesday

But you, oh LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the one who lifts my head 

psalm 3:3

David is sure of 3 things here: 1.) when no one would help him God was his shield 2.) when he had nothing to treasure God was his glory 3.) when he had no one to encourage him God did and lifted his head.

what a reassurance we can still be sure of the same things today

psalm 61:2

lyla girl.

well miss lyla diane...

you are 8 weeks old

you hardly ever cry and when you do it sounds like a little kitten

you are not the best sleeper...

you don't really like it when your siblings kiss & hug you... and touch your face...good luck with that

you prefer to be awake and happy in the middle of the night

you like the song somewhere over the rainbow hawaiian style

you like to cuddle...all the time

you seem to look at my hair and question the style of the messy bun

you smile at elisabeth

you have dimples...like Jude and daddy...swoon

remember this post? you took all my suggestions....I should have added sleeps during the night :)

bubble gum, bubble gum

{ source + where to buy = kali laine photography}

On my mind:

*gum

*We have a cookie jar in our house, but it is not filled with cookies it is filled with gum.

*Hubs is a huge gum lover, a trait Elisabeth took on as well.

* Elisabeth and I play bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish...how many pieces do you wish?

*Do you remember in school when you would pull out a pack of gum and suddenly everyone is your best friend?

*In Jr. high if we got caught chewing gum in gym class we had to go around school and scrape up gum and bring it back to the teacher...I scraped a lot of gum...I am also sure that had to break some kind of health codes...right?


Elisabeth's favorite gum is tridents strawberry layers and bubble tape.

This is mine.

Do you like gum? What's your favorite?
