I think I originally bought this black material as a table dressing for my jewelry booth at the Saturday market last year, but now I put it to good use. Plus I had to find a way to use the fabulous patterned material I found on the dollar rack at Walmart. Now I have a little something to wear this summer that is light and airy, perfect for our up coming trip to Mexico.
I am such a fan of skirts and dresses. Now I just need to make a few casual skirts so I can walk around the house barefoot while baking bread and feeding my young'un. And where the heck are those chickens I keep meaning to feed?...So, God is good. Remember last week when I vowed to find a horse to love on? I think I found my horse, or at least how to get back in the saddle. A lovely gal from my church has a daughter who is very into the horse scene in these parts. Sue had terrific recommendations on places to trail ride at a tremendously reasonable cost AND how to actually LEASE a horse monthly if I ended up really getting enthusiastic. I can't wait to throw on my cowboy boots and hat, leap on the back of a horse and ride like the wind (well, truthfully, I think a healthy trot may be all I'm good for to begin with. It's certainly been awhile.)
This has been a challenging week+ and all the time God has kept showing his goodness and faithfulness by providing me with loving friends and delightful experiences. I still fall apart, but I don't fall in despair. Thankfully I know all I have to do is ask and He is up for the challenge of loving me through each day.

Oh my dear Sweet One,
I wish you didn't have to be brave all the time, that can be a very heavy load. Being without the 'man' you've pledged your life to -is one of the hardest things I've experienced, whether it's a business trip or a deployment or whatever. God knew we weren't meant to go solo. Along with you, I am thankful that you have Abba, Daddy-God to lean into. You are wise to acknowleged Him, His presence and His provision of friends/family. Solo can become too much, feeling you are enduring this alone can be too much, being brave gets exhausting. But you Kelly, are not alone and you know it. I'm so proud of you and how you are using this time to adventure into new and exciting arenas of life.
By the way, you look smashing in the sew it yourself creation and the kilt! And that we bonney lad is grow'n like a thistle.
Sending all our love, Mama and crew
