joy {to start the week}...

watching jacob and mary perform at the founder's day concert...

and it was jacob's first performance with the jazz band, and he rocked his solo!

cooler temps settling in...

joy {from other's words}...

"I will not desecrate this moment with ignorant hurry or sordid ingratitude...I will not profane His offer of joy with jaded pessimism." ~ Ann Voskamp

joy {found in the weekend}...

sleeping and awaking without an alarm...

curly hair that is somewhat tame today...

saved as much as i spent at the grocery store!

homemade pumpkin oatmeal muffins {with a handful of chocolate chips for good measure}...

gamecocks football {'nuff said}...

joy {on friday}...

pumpkin greek yogurt, pumpkin granola, pumpkin butter...

clean bed sheets...

stephanie's gift of encouraging words from beth moore...

date night!

best burgers and sweet potato fries in charleston (yah, sesame!)...

unexpected gift from hubs (yah, urban nirvana!)...

kim's verse that she has prayed for me, a now daily reminder (romans 15:13)...

moonlight filling the bedroom when i woke at 2:30 am (God is watching over you)...

joy {within me}...

taken outside my front door, 7:15 pm, 10/4/12

the hubs telling my heart "i love you" over and over and over...

coming home to get my forgotten lunch...

coworkers who fill your cup...

opening the Word to a random {God-chosen} verse and being reminded in psalm 46:5 that God is WITHIN me...

breeze and clouds that cover the sky as i start my bridge walk...

prayers of the saints that sustain me...

ending the day with a cotton-candy-colored sky...

remembering tomorrow is a new day, and His promises are new every morning...

joy {chosen on wednesday}...

pumpkin butter + coffee = a great combination

seeing an old friend, clifford, the teller at the parking garage

a note left by my past colleague, leigh, telling me "hey, friend!  miss you!"

paying only $10 for david's airline ticket home for thanksgiving (love skymiles)
