Yesterday I finished an incredible book, Francine Rivers's The Atonement Child. This book really challenged me and showed me how much I rely on other Christians' advice instead of God's Word. The first half of the book was 100% depressing, but then I couldn't put it down. After reading it, I am especially grateful for people like Shelley, who are willing to help troubled women and encourage them to make right choices. Shelley, I salute you. :)





Lawson and Ryan with their stadium Vanilla Cokes, at the fancy Capriccio restaurant.




Me enjoying tiramisu, my favorite dessert. (This one was okay. I've had better.)




I thought my little rosebush was dead, but it put out these four beautiful blooms. :)
