We finally have a couch!!!
Eight weeks ago we ordered what I thought was going to be the perfect couch for our new place. After a series of unfortunate delivery and non-delivery events, we realized that the much anticipated red couch was not, in fact, going to come live with us. But, look what happened today! We met a sweet tenant one floor down whose sofa needed a new home. We were fortunate to be the first in line to take a look at it! Thanking God for His provision of this wonderful new seat, but even more thankful for this awesome helper!! So glad Emma has excellent spatial relations and knows how to PIVOT at all the right angles!! After encountering two doorways, two long hallways, a ride in the not quite wide enough elevator, and a few more corners that I'd never really noticed before, we did it!! What a great adventure together!!

~BSF Sharing Day~
Celebrating the One who is Faithful and True
Our Sovereign Lord who is worthy of worship

Missing my sweet sisters in Tulsa so much today!! So very grateful for the years I got to spend learning and growing (and laughing!) with them! While I am so sad to not be with them to share in the victory party of a year spent experiencing the Lord's goodness together, I am thanking God that He allowed me to finish studying Revelation with a new group of women who love Him. 

May 10

Thankful for a sweet time of sharing about God's faithfulness and this beautiful bookmark blessing.
And it wouldn't be a Leaders' Sharing Day Fellowship without yummy bars, now would it? :)

What a fun DC day with Emma!!
We Metro-ed into the city like champion urbanites, 
had lunch in Chinatown with our favorite Suit,
battled the tourists for a selfie in front of the White House, 
enjoyed the fascinating exhibits at the Renwick,
and took in many cool sights and sounds as we ventured back home.
Yay for summer break and adventures together!!

shared with His children in my new class today!! His love and grace are lavish and unending!!
