Knowing that I am a beloved, adopted child of the King.

"Adoption is a family idea, conceived in terms of love, and viewing God as father. In adoption, God takes us into His family and fellowship, and establishes us as His children and heirs. Closeness, affection and generosity are at the heart of the relationship. To be right with God the judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the father is greater."

J. I. Packer, Knowing God

  1. LOVE the pink finger nails-- they're becoming an all too familiar (yet wonderfully precious) sight around here :)

    Hope you have another blessed, blessed week with plenty of cool-water fun at the pool! Happy summer, friend!

  4. So many of these things could be on my list too. Oh Hydrangeas are lovely and happy signs of summer! I have been out of the blogging loop for a while - on vacation and now preparing for a big move. I enjoyed catching up and I love the new look.
