It's "Beauty and the Beast" time. This is the second
movie for the three us and I love it!
Cozy mornings for these two!
An art project, trying to take the natural things
around us and set up a scene.
Treats for hula.

We hit the trail to get some pics for
Bobos birthday invitation.
Making friends, sometimes it works
and sometimes it doesn't.
Went to a beautiful wedding with some
friends from church. It was Dev and Bobo's
first wedding, Camrbia's second.
Bobo said, "Could we go to a wedding every
Tuesday? I love weddings. It's basically a
birthday party, you are just celebrating.
You know what I wished they had was a kids wedding.
Celebrating, taking pictures, a dance party.
He is so funny. He sometimes fears the
unknown and he is then the one to have the best time.
He really takes things in.
We liked this idea a lot!
Love our dear friends, Auntie Catherine and Uncle Lance.
A little dancing at the end of the night.
Sunday school, Cambria has joined us on our
teaching rotation but soon she will go to her class.
Watching a little furry friend.
Time for Easter Egg dying!
Getting ready for the Langfords, Dev made this
lei for our little guest Emeline's birthday.
Getting ready for Resurrection Sunday!
Love walking into this scene.
I am wondering where did I learn to get my identity from
being chosen by others. Why do I feel devastated when I
didn't get an invitation and I wasn't included? It can be
a roller coaster where I feel good and then devastated when
I find out I wasn't picked.
Feels so personal, especially if I have talked with someone
about the importance of community and then I am
not included in a community event from that person.
I want to be someone's pick. A best friend or top of their
list. I guess those same people I have put on
my list and when it is not reciprocated, I feel a bit undone.
Do I slowly walk away from those people who
cannot give me what I want? Its too painful.
Or am I too needy?
Don't want to by my mom, always felt insecure about her
friendships. I want to become the very think I hate which
is an island and cut myself off from pain and disappointment,
to disconnect from others who have the potential to let me down.
Either direction does not feel good or thriving.
To make it a quest to force community and put all my
identity there or disavow friendship and community.
But I believe God placed the desire for relationship
in my heart. So what did I do with it because it takes
another besides me.
That is what I will pray on.
This is just one of my journeys.
Why not paint a table you have had for years the
day before guests arrive and two days before Easter.
Good Friday Service
We are ready for the Langford's and Easter!
