My cup overflows...

Sorry for the delay in postings....life has truly been crazy, but in the best way possible. We have been studying, working, playing and spending nights in the ER. I apologize for my lack of keeping up with the blog...but it is Sunday and a day to reflect on things I am thankful for in the last week. So, here are some reasons that my cup overflows because of God's blessing this past week....

  • My cup overflows from a clean bill of health. We did have a ER visit from a terrible, first migraine of my life. I know to much from school, as Ryan says, and was sure I had a brain-bleed. So, off to the ER to get scanned we went at 10:30 at night. Everything is okay, PTL! (praise the Lord, for those who don't know my abbreviation)
  • My cup overflows for a wonderful family. We spent some time with my in-laws and my family this past weekend and it was truly glorious. How precious when a family truly loves and cares for one another in the most special way.
  • My cup overflows that it is my nephew, Acie's, 4th birthday today. I am so thankful for 6 sweet, precious nieces and nephews that make me smile and make my heart happy.
  • My cup overflows that this is the last week of rotation 7 coming up. Only 2 more rotations left before I am a PA graduate!
  • My cup overflows because of the GRACE of God this week. How wonderful that I can never do enough to earn or take away from the love that God has for me. What a gift!
I am sure your cup is overflowing and full as well. Praise the One who gives all good and precious gifts! Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

    Oh, no, Anna! A migraine?! Bless your heart! I hope you never have one again...they're TERRIBLE! You're not alone in thinking it's a brain bleed...i've thought aneurysm, CVA, tumor, etc.

Baby Jackson's Nursery

We are awaiting baby Jackson's arrival right now at 39 weeks and 4 days:) so, why not pass the time by sharing a few pictures of his nursery? We cannot wait to meet him and Ryan thinks that with the zoo/jungle theme we have going on in the nursery, Jackson is destined to be a zoo keeper.....we will see! I have had so much fun decorating and putting together his little room and I hope he loves it!!! Here is his crib with letters we made and a mirror that i love!!! His crib is from Target and the bedding is from Serena and Lilly  We got the letters from hobby lobby and then hot glued zoo animals onto the letters and the orange ribbon I was really into bamboo shades and love the way the windows turned out with the brown and white combo. His changing table is a dresser we got from the Pottery Barn outlet and then we got the cover from a shop on Etsy Ryan's dad repainted this rocking chair for Jackson. It was the chair that Ms. Cindy rocked Ryan and his brothe...

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
