those afternoon naps...











the sun filtered through the slits from the window shade and landed on his pillow. 
the only sound is his rhythmic breathing. 
his eyelashes flutter as he stirs slightly. 
watching kids nap is the best. 

p.s. I guest posted over at Ryan's lovely blog today ::here::

when spring arrives..






{entering into Lily's photo challenge the last two photos}

spring. finally.
I'm not one of those people who gripes and complains about winter being so long, but I am more than happy to welcome an early spring here. :) I almost literally watched our tree upfront burst into little flowers. And I am loving the warm sunshine, and waking up to hearing the birds outside my window. oh, spring. you make this girl very happy. 


what's your favorite thing about spring?


p.s. giveaway over >>here<<

inspiration via quotes

Yes, this is a long over due post... just a second. *runs and gets her quote book*  I mentioned posting some quotes on here, and I got some prodding, so you asked for it ;)

I do believe quotes are one of my favorite things ever! *happy sigh* 

"Jesus is everything, if it weren't for Him, I'd have no goodness at all." -Jackie Pullinger

“Oh, it's delightful to have ambitions. I'm so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them-- that's the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting.”  
-Anne of Green Gables
-----
“I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.”  -Elisabeth Elliot
-----
“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.” 
 -Louisa May Alcott
------
 “I've got the key to my castle in the air, but whether I can unlock the door remains to be seen.” 
 -Louisa May Alcott

entering into Lucia's 
lucia, etc.


"I have but one passion - it is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ." 
-Count Zinzindorf
-----
“Wouldn't it be fun if all the castles in the air which we make could come true and we could live in them?” -Little Women
-----
“I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.”  -Little Women
-----
“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”  -Anne of Green Gables



(I don't have a specific reason for thinking this photo is true, but when I look at this Hebrews 12:2

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." )


p.s. you can win a camera here!!!
