2017. Every day. (04.09.17)
I’ve been trying to work on a paper for my class, but am frustrated with our assignments and what our Professor is looking for, so a break to write something I enjoy…

We had our Leadership Training for Polished Houston launch! Hooray!! Our first luncheon is just a few weeks away. I’m so grateful for these girls who have stepped up and said “yes”, all of them have tons of other things to do and are sought after, but have a strong desire for this ministry. Kat who is our Executive Director is such a devoted leader, it has been so fun to work with her and I’m so excited about our launch!

I attended a press conference on Monday morning, for the Mayor of Houston’s summer employment initiative; Hire Houston Youth. Thankfully the rain held off and it was a great event. McDonald’s is a large contributor to this initiative, so they were a great host and also gave out free drinks to us! #iloveMcDsDrPepper

I walked on Monday with my bestie Katherine and thought I should have taken a pic of us that day and her baby bump. But, didn’t….she was due in a few weeks. But, Wednesday afternoon I got a text she was headed into delivery and the babies would be here soon! Though born early, they are healthy and doing well in NICU for a bit. I went to the hospital that evening, got to see my sweet friend and her new little babes. We’ve walked and talked infertility, miscarriage and pregnancy for a long time, so this day was redeeming in the best of ways for her and her husband!

I didn’t want to share a picture until they shared photos, so here’s the pic from Wednesday night just a couple of hours after babies were born. She’s a beautiful mommy and can’t wait until we can push those twins in the strollers on walks! Times like these are hard to walk alongside besties, but we know God hears our prayers and he is sovereign. I’m thankful for their faith through this journey to a family of 4!

On my walks with Auggie I’ve been noticing these sunflowers, a section of them that have recently grown up amongst wildflowers and they have really been showing off lately. I finally took my phone on a walk to snap a picture. As I walked by them this week, the song “Look to the Son” by Hillsong has been coming to mind. We sang it recently in church and I kept thinking of it this week, how so many things are going on around us, but no matter what, keep our eyes on the Son. These sunflowers, they look to the sun, amidst the busyness of the trail, their backs were turned and facing to the sun. Such a good reminder, when I can get so distracted by all the goings-on.
