Our homeschool group went to the Zoo!
Mr. Elephant was enjoying a bath.
This boy looked like he needed a hug. :(
The closer you zoom into his face, the funnier it gets.
Giraffes make great facial expressions:
Mom stole Fonz to get proof that I was there:
Some of us were bigger fans of the birds than others.
Apparently camera bags are great for hiding. Had to check for stowaways before I left.
BABY DUCKS ARE SO PRECIOUS AND SNUGGLY.
So, this is mostly unrelated, but I just want to say - I
have been feeling tremendously blessed lately. I realize that I have always had
a fantastic life, a life with an overwhelming amount of blessings and general
things to be thankful for. Lately, however, my lengthy list of blessings seems to have turned
into a full book. God graciously provided SO much this semester, and I can only
dream of glorifying Him sufficiently with my new blessings. I was gifted with a
car – a reliable, cute, red, free car (thank you, Granny). Then, I was offered
a job. The job I have wanted for years, in a place where I feel comfortable,
and with people I love working with. I’ve continued to grow closer to two very
important people - people who encourage me, keep me accountable, make me feel
loved and appreciated, challenge me to nurture my relationship with Christ, and
comfort me greatly. I can only hope to return a quarter of the friendship and
love they’ve given me. I am preparing and looking forward to another
opportunity to spend my summer serving Christ at Camp Victory, for my nephew,
sister, and brother in-law to move in with us, to graduate high-school in May, and
to start full shifts at my new workplace. So, as my heart gushes over, sitting
here reflecting, I just want to give God glory – He is the only one worthy. I
am SO undeserving, and still God is gracious, generous, and loving towards me. It’s
a marvelous mystery. He has definitely kept me as the apple of His eye, and hid
me in the shadows of His wings. Psalm
145:3 “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can
fathom.”
