"What sort of man is this? That even the wind and sea obey Him?" Matthew 8:23-27
When I was in the hospital having my first baby both my husband and I were surprised at the wait and see approach our hospital staff had to labor. They had me hooked to machines so they could read how things were in the moment and in the past, but they really had little control over how things would turn out. After seeing doctors and nurses so sure and business like over other procedures we were so surprised! What a faith building experience that was. All these trained professionals, with decades of experience and only God knew the exact details. 
This morning I can feel a storm coming. It's muggy and windy, and the forecast is always a wait and see. Especially here in WNY, where rain clouds can just show up seemingly out of no where. Forecasters have all sorts of machines reading so many variables, tracking things in the moment and in the past. They have a guess, sometimes a pretty good guess. But we all know the entire world of weather forecasting is still, wait and see! But God. He knows exactly when and where the first drop will fall. And just like in birth and life and death, the control is only and always in His hands. ❤️

They call this The Pea Pod. 
And I wondered how we'd use this space under these randomly placed trees. Well, welcome to the end of our yard we now call Leisure Land ❤️

Another day, another dress! 
I got this one to wear at Easter and I've only worn it a few times. I'm always afraid to wear it because it's white and that's terrifying around kids. But, it's almost 80 today and the last day of summer! 😢 While I was out there 2 kids were spying on me, and they were so shocked when I showed them a picture I took of them sneaking around and without them seeing me!😂 #sneakymom And another one was playing with his collection of bugs. They've learned how to feed bugs to spiders, so that's all the rage in kid land these days. 💕🕸️🦗
