Jesus Calling

I recently Just purchased this 365 Day Devotional by Sarah Young, Called, Jesus calling. it is written as if Jesus is speaking directly to you and I love that. I actually skipped ahead and read the one for tomorrow, but this is what it says..

"LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE MORE. Relax, remembering that I am GOD with you. I crafted you with enormous capacity to know Me and enjoy My Presence. When my people wear soul faces and walk through their lives with resigned rigidity, I am displeased. When you walk through a day with childlike delight, savoring every blessing, you proclaim your trust in Me, and your ever-present Shepherd. The more you focus on My presence with you, the more fully you can enjoy life. Glorify Me through your pleasure in Me. Thus you proclaim My Presence to the watching world." Matthew 1:23 John 10:10-11

Have a good weekend everyone, and ENJOY LIFE IN HIS PRESENCE:)!

Lately.....

I can't believe that Summer is soon coming to an end and Maddie will be starting preschool next month! Time has just flown by and it's hard to believe she is going to be a preschooler! Lately we have been soaking up these beautiful days by going to the zoo, the pool, hanging in our backyard with friends, Spending time up in Lake Geneva, going for walks, and lots of bike rides to get ice cream! Maddie's FAV thing to do! Yesterday, Bob had a dentist appointment at 6:00, so I told Maddie we could go get ice cream after she ate dinner. Of course she was so excited and ate all of her dinner so she could get her special treat. On our walk to town, she kept saying, "Mama, my tummy hurts." So I said, "Maybe we shouldn't get ice cream if your tummy hurts," Then she said, "Mama, my tummy is all better." HAHA. Like mother like daughter! I guess there is always room for ice cream in anyones tummy! BTW: if you haven't tried ice-cream at Fannie May IT. IS. A. MUST!!! So delish! Hanging out with Maddie is so much fun and she has so much personality!! It has been so much fun seeing her language develop and the things that she says sometimes has me laughing so hard my stomach ends up hurting! This kid is HILARIOUS! Here are some pictures of what has been going on lately....:)











Hope you are all enjoying this absolutely beautiful weather we have been having!!!!!
