The state of growing in divine grace". Can you imagine what our once perfect and sinless creation looked like? The beauty of blooming spring flowers certainly provides an allusion to eden, but it isn't the real deal. it isn't the "very good" creation that God made. this isn't what God intended. Forget creation. look at us - look at me, look at you, look around. we aren't what God intended either. Could all that is lost ever be found. Could a garden come up from this ground at all. Partly also due to the ...

just Jill.: i'm a nerdy mom.
http://jjill23.blogspot.com/2013/08/im-nerdy-mom.html
I'm a nerdy mom. I recall being called a nerdy newlywed not that long ago. the label was assigned because i didn't want to be away from jay for more than one night for our girl's (craft) weekend in ocean city. what can i say? I enjoy being with my husband and miss him after very little time apart. i am proud of my nerdyness. So that's where my head has been today. i have even begun composing a list - a draft in my email - of such things. am i a nerd? August 6, 2013 at 10:46 AM. Liesl is right. moms n...

just Jill.: Lord, I need You
http://jjill23.blogspot.com/2013/09/lord-i-need-you.html
Lord, I need You. LORD, I NEED YOU. Lord, i come, i confess. Bowing here i find my rest. Without You i fall apart. You're the One that guides my heart. Lord, i need You, oh, i need You. Every hour i need You. My one defense, my righteousness. Oh God, how i need You. Where sin runs deep Your grace is more. Where grace is found is where You are. And where You are, Lord, i am free. Holiness is Christ in me. Lord, i need You, oh, i need You. Every hour i need You. My one defense, my righteousness. UE ONDA GU...

http://jjill23.blogspot.com/2013/08/like-mother-like-daughter.html
Like mother, like daughter. Over the past few weeks we have done some significant driving. especially for having a now 3-month old. not knowing for sure how she would be (but pretty sure she would be okay) we ventured on the 750 mile trip to michigan for drew's wedding. and the very next weekend we headed out for another 260 mile ride to cape cod. (as an aside, she did great! I ditto all of this. every now and then my girls will point out something to me that they know nan would love. LOSOLI - SIGUR ROS.

To whom it may concern. In my arms is where you are to be. How long will you make me wait? I don't know how much more i can take. I missed you but i haven't met you. Oh but i want to. Oh how i do. Slowly counting down the days. Till i finally know your name. The civil wars - to whom it may concern). We cannot wait to meet the little mango that we love so very much. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I am happy to say that last night was the second night that she slept the whole night. 9:45 (a little later than normal because our bath got delayed) to 6:30. okay, i will confess that she stirred at 1:15. but all she needed was the soothie back in her mouth and she was good to go! No getting up. no feeding. back to sleep for another several hours. Here she is, our sleeping beauty. A mix of old and new.in no particular order. Our VERY large Christmas tree.it took up half of the living room. ALLELUJAH - J...

I can totally understand the different sleep positions depending on her location- all sprawled out means serious sleeping!

A bit of a cop-out. I am well aware that i am overdue for a new blog post. it's coming, i promise. but for today i just want to share a song:. Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken. Jesus, I my cross have taken,. All to leave and follow Thee. Destitute, despised, forsaken,. Thou from hence my all shall be. Perish every fond ambition,. All I've sought or hoped or known. Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. Let the world despite and leave me,. They have left my Savior too. Child of Heaven,...

just Jill.: just because
http://jjill23.blogspot.com/2013/09/just-because.html
This is actually an old photo. two summer's ago i think.but i like it. it was a beautiful location that i would really like to go back to. you can't tell from here but the water was a deep navy blue shade. surrounded by the greenery of trees. not a house in site.that i remember. beautiful. Even though i am SO ready for fall, this photograph oddly makes me long for a little bit of summer again :). September 12, 2013 at 2:18 PM. Nope, done with that although this picture makes it look like its wonderful.
