hey, maine.

We're celebrating the long weekend 

with a trip to Maine, which will be

 a nice little get-away.

We're planning to spend lots of time 

relaxing with my folks and are 

contemplating an inaugural trip to 

the coast as a little welcome to 

summer.  I'm excited!

What are your plans?  

I hope you enjoy the weekend!

party planning committee

My best friend is getting hitched in August,

so a lot of my free time lately has been spent 

planning a summery bridal shower!  

 

I've been working with her sweet family 

to plan a perfect celebration for our favorite 

girl, and am having way too much fun 

coming up with cute ideas and 

making crafty things.

But mostly, I'm just loving being

part of our own little PPC.  ;)

I recently noticed this on Pinterest,

and after mulling it over a bit, decided

that it was a neat interpretation of

these verses from Romans 12:

We have different gifts, according to

the grace given to each of us.  

 If your gift is prophesying, then

 prophesy in accordance with your faith.  

If it is serving, then serve;

if it is teaching, then teach; 

if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; 

if it is giving, then give generously; 

if it is to lead, do it diligently;

if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Do you ever think about what

God has gifted you with, and how

you can be using it for Him?

Because it's Monday, and I think

 everyone can use an extra dose of 

adorable to jump-start the week, 

here's some goldendoodle cuteness

 for your day.  Happy Monday!

time for a weekend

 

It's been a bit of a marathon around here 

lately, so I'm looking forward to some

much deserved rest this weekend.

 

And because the sun is supposed to 

be shining all weekend long, I'm planning

to be outside soaking it up! 

 

Happy weekend, my friends.
