Your mercies are new every morning...

Happy Friday!!!

I am so excited for this weekend. Collin and I are honestly not doing anything special but that is how we like it. We are going to be enjoying each other's company, working on our beautiful home, and playing with our sweet puppies, Oliver and Copper, and we may even take a stroll out at the farm with Jade. Perfect.

Recently, I had a meltdown.. I had lost my bible... Now if you are like me, your bible isn't just like any other bible. It is not like you can just pick up another one and it be the same. My bible has been with me through 4 years of high school, 4 years of college, and 7 months of marriage. It has all my notes, my scribbles, my references, my drawings (yes drawings, I like to illustrate my bible a little). I have a few pages missing, not because I didn't like the passages and thought I would omit pieces of it but because over time they tore out. In the front flap of my bible is a list of about 30 verses that are my absolute favorite and have a special meaning to me. So anyways, I looked and looked for it and decided that I must have left it on top of my car and drove away (this has happened with my wedding notebook and trust me when I say I about died) or left it in Denton or something. Well last night I was looking for Oliver's ear medicine, poor thing has chronic ear infections, and I found it!!! It was in a place in my house that I should have looked, but I didn't care, I was so excited...

Anyways, I don't exactly know why I decided to share that but there is your interesting story about me today. I hope you all are loving this beautiful day and take a minute to just say a thank you to Jesus. He is so deserving of it no matter what you current circumstance is.

"Be still, and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10

This is the first bible verse written in the front flap of my bible.... As simple of a verse it is, the words are so powerful. I am a little bit of a control freak and I am definitely OCD in some areas and Collin swears I have an anxiety problem some times, and this verse reminds me to calm down, relax, and know that whatever I am dealing with, I am not alone and I can rest in the knowledge that He is God...


Blessings & Joy,
Jessica Katherine
