monday morning

We had a great weekend.

A rainy Friday meant Joel got to take Saturday afternoon off.

Yeah for an afternoon at home together!

We haven't had one in a long time.

We watched a movie, 

played with Levi,

ate pizza for dinner,

took naps {all three of us},

put together our Operation Christmas Child boxes,

went to church,

ate lunch with friends,

and spent Sunday evening with some new friends 

that we met through Judgement House.

It was great.

This morning Levi and I have been doing the normal Monday morning things...

along with some tractor driving.

I can't believe how much Levi likes cars and tractors.

How does he know to "drive" them?

He gets on his hands and knees...

and drives...

and drives...

and drives...

all over the house.

Boys are so fun.

I loved being able to introduce you to some of my friends last week.

I hope you learned as much about friendship as I did.

I was definitely challenged.

I have some incredible friends,

but I hope you didn't go away from those posts 

thinking that my friendships are perfect.

I struggle with the same things that everyone else does...

jealousy,

comparison,

gossip,

drama,

trust,

balance,

grace,

time,

vulnerability.

My friendships have changed with the different seasons in my life.

And loosing Cora changed and challenged my friendships too.

I love what Julie said,

"The things I long for in a best friend,

is what God is for me."

I can pour out my heart to Him.

Nothing will ever change the way God feels about me.

He delights in me.

He delights in you.

What a friend we have in Jesus.
