Ellie's New Look

Ellie recently got glasses!  And I think she looks just peachy.....

I like to call her my "brain child" because she looks smart in them :)  

Hope you all had a joyful Christmas and are looking forward 

to the New Year of our Lord 2013!

xoxo,

Elise

PS-My dear sister Libby, the talented photographer in our family, has a beautiful new blog-- 

Go take a look at Libby's Lens!

Patience

“Patience is more than endurance. A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says--'I cannot stand anymore.' God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God's hands. Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." ~Oswald Chambers
