lyrical: mercy

YOU DELIGHT IN SHOWING MERCY
AND MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT

MY PAST EMBRACED
MY SIN FORGIVEN
I'M BLAMELESS IN YOUR SIGHT 
MY HISTORY REWRITTEN

YOU DELIGHT IN SHOWING MERCY
AND MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT

OH LOVE, GREAT LOVE 
FEAR CANNOT BE FOUND IN YOU
AND THERE WILL NEVER BE A DAY
YOU'RE UNCERTAIN OF THE ONES YOU CHOOSE

YOU DELIGHT IN SHOWING MERCY
AND MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT

SO I WILL WAKE AND SPEND MY DAYS
LOVING THE ON WHO HAS RAISED ME UP
FROM DEATH TO LIFE, FROM WRONG TO RIGHT
YOU'RE MAKING ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL 

YOU'RE MAKING ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL (OH OH) 

Amanda Cook

The song of late, on repeat daily, that makes my heart & soul sing.

this month: september

FEELING : nervous about G starting school as we ease into the busy life again.

LEARNING : how to defend my opinions and not apologize for them. Being an adult is funnnn. 

PRACTICING : gratitude in this very different season of our lives I still can't seem to get used to.

MASTERING : our Cali. to-do list!

EATING : all the chocolate we brought back from Brasil, little by little of course. 

PLAYING : The Ask Pr. John app when I need some encouragement.

FINISHING : the hunt for a new read!

READING : mostly photography blogs and Ann Voskamp because she is too good.

WATCHING : Scandal againnnnnnnn.... :)))))

WEARING : shorts and dresses...still shorts and dressses. Like.. this weather does not change! :) // :(

WORKING : on our expectations for how many vacations we can take in one year. lol #carioca 
WALKING : to the Griffith Observatory in LA to see the sunset.

TRAVELING : up and down California to show the mother and sister in love our new coast.

DESIRING : a visit to Chicago to see my favorite little person whose growing so much I can't stand it!

CELEBRATING : 6 years since the first time I told G I loved him. I think the fact that we both know the exact date that happened is pretty special.
