First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your comments, tweets and emails after my post on Tuesday. I feel so encouraged hearing your similar moving stories and just knowing that so many of you are praying for us.
I was thinking this week that it would probably be really helpful to start the Little Things linkup back up. With so much stress, unsettled-ness and homesickness, I think it will do this heart good to focus on the small blessings that God sneaks into my week and to share them with you. I hope you'll join me in posting about your Little Things each Friday! To read more about it, check out the page here.
This week, though I had to look hard and get past my frustration with this move, I found many "little things"that blessed me through the week.
The view from our front door. We live in an apartment community where most of the houses face the parking lot. Our unit "happens" to face the little lake and doesn't have any other houses peeking right in our windows.
A new watch. Yes, a very little thing, but something that makes me smile each day!
Chickfila. And their free wi-fi! I survived three years in Hawaii without Chickfila and it's so nice to have one down the street. Especially nice when I can chomp on some nuggets while using their free wi-fi since we haven't set ours up yet.
A gourmet salad dinner, sitting in chairs loaned to us by a sweet friend.
Chris takes amazing care of me. Including tying and untying the laces of my Blowfish boots since I can't reach them anymore.
I found some of my favorite candy in Publix the other day! This 'liquorice' is from Australia and I didn't think they sold it in the states!
I had my appt with my new midwife yesterday and got to peek in at my sweet boy. He's getting so big and my heart leaps thinking about the fact that I get to be mama to this precious face.
This weekend, I'm looking forward to getting our things unpacked (SO many boxes!), and a family picnic with the guys Chris will be working with.
Can't wait to see your little things! Check out the guidelines below and link on up!
party rules.
