Wordless Wednesday


So, I am posting this a little early...but oh well!

I love this picture because there is so much emotion portrayed if you really study each persons face!



TW and the girls before attending a Daddy/Daughter Ball which was a fundraiser for a high school girl that has cancer.

Dear You,

Dear You,

Your ability to love me through all the yuck is truly amazing. I am honored and humbeled by your love for me. A true picture of unconditional love is what you have provided me with!

Undeserving,
Me

Dear You,
Is anything ever going to be enough for you? Do you really feel satisfied with yourself when you lay your pillow on your bed at night knowing all the stress you put others through? Maybe you don't even realize it. You are so self serving and thus a mis-representation of Him to all those that you interact with. Lay off why don't you?

Disgusted,
Me

Dear You,
I feel helpless. Do I want to help you more than you want to help yourself?

Confused,
Me

Dear You,
Your friendship means the world to me! I can count on you!

Happily, Me

Dear You,
You have the best of intentions and all the right words, but your actions don't follow. Do you see that you are choosing other things over them? Do you ever fast forward your behavior? Actions speak louder than words and love is an action, not just a feeling.

Wondering, Me

Heartbreaker!

Tonight while I was preparing dinner one of our girls said that they were starving. We explained that no, they really weren't starving. After dinner TW looked up some photos and videos on the internet of children who were starving and showed them to the kids and explained to them about poverty. This video will break your heart. We live in a culture that is so wrapped up in the material things in life yet millions of children are literally starving to death. Makes me realize that there are tons of things I could give up in order to help out more! Are you doing anything to give back? Check out the video...it will break your heart!

You will need to scroll down, before viewing the video, and pause the music player on my site so you can here the music on the video!



If you want to do something to give back, click on the box along the left side of my screen for Compassion International. You can sign up to sponsor one of these children for a minimal cost per month! We have two kiddos that we are currently sponsoring and we correspond with them via mail. We hope to visit them someday!

I got INKed

So, I did it. Friday night TW and I had date night and decided that I would go get the tattoo that I have been wanting for a while. I had mentioned earlier in the summer that I was going to get his name on my ring finger. Well, after discussing it with them they said that it would be better to just do the initials. So, that is what I went with.


I have gone through a range of emotions with my satisfaction level. Totally loved it the night I got it. Sunday was wondering what the heck I had done and now liking it, but wishing it was a little smaller.


It is what it is. :)
