It is a in God’s love that He allows and even appoints disapointment to come into our lives. He knows if we didn’t have it we would try and find our satisfaction in the things of this life and world instead of in more solid and eternal things as Himself. With Him is true joy and life. [...]

This is excellent advice for Valentines Day.
In other news I can’t remember being this tired in my life? Wow. This baby must be going through some growth spurt this week. 2 hour naps are now the official norm. Before they were utterly unheardof unless I were on the verge of death. I am also quite queasy starting about 11am. [...]

you have laid your [...]
