Almost every time I see a sky like this,
I’m overwhelmed with the undeserved grace
that He pours out on us.
Wider and greater and more amazing
than we can ever comprehend.
Grace, grace, God’s grace.
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within.
Grace, grace, God’s grace.
Grace that is greater than all our sin.
hello, monday.
hello it’s the first day of October
which means it’s supposed to be nice and coolish.
but it’s not.
because we live in California.
and California has a mind of its own.
hello beautiful skies.
which almost make up for the heat.
almost.
hello little snips of quiet time
in the midst of crazy busy days.
hello beautiful serene sunsets.
to remind me that He is faithful.
even when I am not.
every day.
What are you saying hello to this week?

Hello, Monday!
Hello, we’re halfway through July!
How did this happen?
Hello, breakfast date with my husband while the kids are at Vacation Bible School.Hello, uninterrupted conversation and multiple cups of coffee!
Hello, super fresh eggs from the farmer’s market.
In a pretty, pink box.
Hello, cheaper than the grocery store?!
Or even Costco.
Hello, written encouragement for the kids.
Which I think I need more.
Hello, vintage Scrabble game,
discovered at an estate sale I almost didn’t stop at,
but did — only after being convinced by my 10-year-old.
Hello, family game night.
Hello, sweet lavender from a friend’s garden.
Hello, healing Truth that reminds me not to fear
anything.
Because I am His.
What are you saying hello to this week?

Hi.
I know I’ve been quiet now for a long time.
Ever have one of those days … weeks … months …
when you need to be quiet for awhile?
Yeah, me too.
Let’s just say it’s been a rainy season … in more ways than one.
(This was taken from inside the car – waiting for the 7 year old’s baseball practice to be done.)
But I’ve been encouraged in this rainy-ness with daily reminders of truth.
Solid and unchanging.
Like this ….
His consolation brings joy to my soul.
(I’ll let you in on a secret …
sketching Scripture is one of the most restful things for me to do.)
Pure joy.
And I’ve had fun sharing my random sketches on my phone via Instagram
(Plus, even if you don’t have it on your phone,
did you know you can use it on a computer with Webstagram?
I just discovered this recently.)
So, although I’ve been quiet here, I’ve managed to post a few things there …
daily inspiration.
This was from earlier today.
Just what I needed to hear. And see.
In black and white.
So, what’s encouraged you lately?
