Routine is what I like. Routine is comfortable. Routine is known. Routine is easy. Routine is regular. Routine is what I like. Lately the Lord is calling me to some new areas, and I've had trouble embracing and accepting the new. "Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it?

Memory Monday & Valentine Vignettes
Merry Memory Monday! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's weekend. The Salesman took the teens to swim team practice on Valentine's Day for me while I put the finishing touches on a warm country lunch.
