Memory Lane and a good God

Itza Monday! (said in Italian accent)
I hope that you had a whimsical weekend.

I was fortunate enough to spend Saturday with one of my super best friends in the whole wide world, Ms. Sicily Axton.

I want to share with you some special Sicily and JJ photos through the years... I hope you don't mind this trip down memory lane.
We just have so many fun photos together, I couldn't decide on just one or two.
So this portion of the the post is dedicated to Sicily Minette Axton

This is when we graduated from Jones.
We went to the beach and took cheezy beach photos

Well.. I hope that you have enjoyed that. I know that I did.
Anyway, she came up to Clinton on Saturday and we went to Harry the Potter and painted some beautiful pottery and had lovely conversation.
Pictures will follow once I go pick up our items on Thursday!

In other news, I was reading the Word tonight.
I just knew that I needed to sit down and read.
I was feeling uneasy and uncomfortable in the inside and I knew that I shouldn't try to divert what I was feeling and busy myself with something else.
I opened up to Ephesians and started reading and praying all at the same time.
I came across a verse that I marked this summer while at Camp.
Ready to be encouraged?

"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through His spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith- that you being rooted and grounded in love may you have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge, that you may be filled with all of the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we can ask or think, according to the power within us, to Him be glory..."
-Ephesians 3:14-21

I know that its a lot to read for a blog, but there are so many wonderful things in this passage.
I can't get over how the love of Christ surpasses all knowledge.
We serve a big God.
He is peace and goodness.

Pray for me while I pray for you.

Bless.

  1. Hi sweet friend!!!! Sooo, I just recently decided to become a blogger to keep family and friends updated on my northern happenings and such.... so, when I saw your status pop up, I said to myself, "That JJ Bensen. I just HAVE to follow her blog!" I love it and love you. And I love the encouraging verse.
