friday: a girl can dream day

if i was lucky enough to visit pic 1 and pic 2, i would sooo be wearing pic 3.

designer jules reid...not your momma's lily pulitzer...edgier.... love it.

it's over!

recruiting ends tomorrow! tonight is the last night coach is on the road. what a long stretch it has been. he's been (mostly) on and (occassionally) off the recruiting road since december (or was it the last week of November). blur.

now, the transition begin. i haven't had him home ~ for any considerable length of time ~ since august! funny, it always takes a couple of weeks to get use to having him around. can't wait.

you don't earn it

how hard is it to learn, understand and live out this concept? how many books, devotions must I read; how many messages must I hear to internalize this Truth.

i think it's a heart/head thing.

in my head, i reiterate this message to myself. in my heart, though, do i really believe it? if my head and heart were in sync, would it be so difficult to grasp it or, better yet, to live it out.

i heard this on the radio today. it spoke to me as i've been turning this concept over and over in my head (while trying to convince my heart?) i've always loved the song and for whatever reason i listened, really listened, to the words.

how amazing ~ and often inconceivable ~ is God's grace?

happy monday

for the love of books

love books, but with limited reading time i have to be careful when i pick one up.

for when i pick one up, i can become obsessive about finishing it. laundry and dishes can pile up. husband and child may whine at the amount of time my nose is buried deep. that said, i won't be doing much reading in the coming months. at least not until after ncaa tournament time (if you don't live your life by the calendar of big 10 athletics that means march/april).

however, here are a few books i've read since thanksgiving.

yes, i know...'bout time.

this is a classic i had never read. thought i should. so i did.

this book tells the story of a clandestine love affair between frank lloyd wright and mamah borthwick cheney. the ending haunted me for days. based on true story.
trust me...there is absolutely NO way to predict how this book ends.

i have half of this book underlined. it's been a wonderful resource to me in dealing

with a very intense time professionally.

"a great leader doesn't treat problems as special. he treats them as normal."

this book is being read my Bible study group. i've only finished chapter one.
so far it's been enlightening.

i've just picked up this book. it's a book of short essay so i'm hoping my ocd won't kick in.

i'm back...barely :)
