the present moment // i shall not want






But then there's this...


-Fr. J.P. de Caussade, S.J.










Listening to:





Praying in thanksgiving for family, friends, and community.

Praying for grace. Praying for love. Praying for peace.

And praying:
Suscipe (St. Ignatius of Loyola)
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own. 
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it. 
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace.
That is enough for me.





Linking-up with Jenny for Daybook.


  1. A couple of mine have done the limp thing for a few days usually after twisting an ankle or something. But a few times I didn't see what had happened and just waited it out assuming it was something similar and it's always been better in a few days. Don't know if that makes you feel better but I'm guessing and hoping it's just something like that! Things are very very slow here as well. This weather is definitely starting to wear on everyone. Not sure why we live in a place where it literally hurts to go outside...

    1. It does. Thank you for sharing! Slow is good sometimes, but the kind of slow with the sickies is just not my cup of tea. I can't imagine living in constant cold temperatures. I grew up in South Texas where it's hot and hotter. I feel Dallas has been a good medium for me. Most of the seasons happen but the extreme ones don't stay all too long. Praying for y'all in your crazy cold temperatures!

  2. What a lovely post and one I'm going to have to revisit again. I'll pray the limp is nothing and that your lenten journey continues to be fruitful.

    1. Tara! Thank you for your prayers! I guess the thing about Lent is it keeps on a midst circumstances that come around. I will admit, the no chocolate and comfort foods is making all of this way more trying than I'd care to admit. Prayers for your season too and thanks so much for stopping by!

  3. The unknown can be so scary. Rebecca did the mystery limp thing for a while. Turns out she pulled her groin. I am hoping for a simple explanation for you all.

    1. It really is, Ann-Marie! I had terrible sleep last night. I'm so glad Rebecca was okay after all was said and done. Doctors encouraged us to wait it out a little longer to see if he doesn't bounce back on his own. I think his limp has lessened today but he had fever last night and this morn. Doctors think it's unrelated (Thank you, Lord!) but we still have to monitor him, etc for the next few days-week. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement!

  4. Prayers for peace momma. I have found when I'm in a state of unrest, I need quit the reading and researching and just be with Him in His Word. Thanks for the song, I don't think I've ever heard it before.

    1. Thank you, Jenny! I did stop looking around and just tried to be patient. I really let this one get to me. After the last mystery fever with my oldest I was so tired and let the internet get the best of me. :( Thanks be to God, he's better and not limping anymore. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement, Jenny!


Comment love makes me happy!
