Spring is certaintly here. We have had some very warm sunny days here as of late in Knoxville, TN. Some days reaching into the 80's. I have found that taking moments out of my day to enjoy the simple things of life have given me a spring in my step so to speak. The picture above was one a took on a Sunday afternoon as me and my husband and kids drove around looking at the dogwood trails. There are so many things to thank the Lord for.

I come from a family of five girls...yep, that's right, all girls. I am the second of the five. Each one of my sisters holds a special place in my heart. These past few months we have been very busy as a church, two weddings only a month apart from each other. We have had one bridal shower after another, and it has been true joy. I have so enjoyed getting to be with not only my sisters by blood but my sisters in our church body. I love them all so dearly. These last few weeks we have been very busy getting ready for that 2nd wedding, the wedding of my youngest sister, Lisa. She is the youngest of the five of us girls and she is the last to get married. These are special times.

This spring like I said has been very busy but very blessed. I have friends expecting their first child, dear friends becoming grandparents, newlyweds basking in each others love and next month, my husband Matt and I will be celebrating our ten year anniversary. I feel so loved, so blessed to be a part of all of these lives. The Lord continues to draw me to Himself and I am learning more and more about the grace of the Lord. It has set me free, it continues to set me free. God's goodness is everywhere. Take joy in the moment. Remember that our strength doesn't come from ourselves but from Christ alone. I will leave you with a few photos from this month of April 2010, a month of blessing for sure.
