Grace For Today.


School started for real around here.
Can I just get an Amen?
It's a GOOD program for Miss B this year. It's full and exciting and has so much to offer for her last year of formal education.
All that worrying and anxiety and waking up and fretting?
It had to have been worth something.
Possibly just for me being able to see a LOT of grace in the aftermath of nail biting and prayer.


Since the beginning of school 
I have also had 
TWO
FULL
DAYS
in the art studio.
Beautiful grace here.




New things are happening and it's fun.
Painting, pens, acrylics, ink....
I love finding paint in my hair later on in the day.




And then, as life goes, Brenna got sick and was home for a day.
Wrenches in the day, plans out the window, tired from a night up and down with her. 
I always try to make sense of these times and it just doesn't work, does it?

Oooh.
Maybe that's the grace part. 
Stuff happens, it just IS, and here is today, so roll with it and give thanks as I go.

And maybe a nap.
That's grace, too.

  10. Love all of the sentiments that you have expressed. Love the white background pieces. They are so peaceful. I can relate to the frustrating unexpected ups and downs in life--when you had other plans.
