Peace

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27

How good it is to rest in the Lord! How amazing to know that God is in control. He knows all things, holds them together (Col. 1:17) and gives us what we need, when we need it.

We have had such sweet family time the last few days! Not doing too much, just playing, eating and reading together. I have big plans to make homemade granola bars this week. Should be interesting....just hoping they're edible.

Today I dropped the big kids at Ryan's playgroup and took the baby to the post office. I dread that place. I dread going there like I dread the next round of my kids' sickness. The lines are always crazy long and the workers are painstakingly meticulous (read: SLOW). It's as if the lady who works at our local USPO is absolutely pained to be at work each day. I had my sweet, cooing, (non-waling even though he was in his carseat) baby with me and she looked up and said "next" in the stankest voice and tone. I smiled and said, "good morning" hoping to shake her nastiness, but she looked over her reading glasses at my boy and quickly looked away, typed then said, "delivery confirmation?" in that same disgusting voice. I wanted to ask (but didn't) if it would kill her to smile, or at the very least call it even and keep her lips in a straight line across her face. O well. It certainly makes me thankful that I can stay home with my kids and not spend my days miserable in a job I hate.

Are you still reading? Gracious, I need to get some better material. :) Ha! Amazing that those stories that only happen to me, haven't happened lately. I guess that's what happens when you don't leave too often. Ha!

I have almost finished my work room re-do. I am LOVING typing and sewing in here!! (and, I made Anna-Kate a new dress to celebrate and christen the new space!). It's done in black and cream with accents of light pink. Gorgeous. Just hang tight, I'm hoping to get some pictures tomorrow (You know, remember to do it when the sun is out. We'll see).
