Hey guys and gals! I’m only quiet because I’m recovering, deep in thought and still slightly out of the time zone. But I thought I’d take a quick minute to share a bit of what’s coming up in this space in the days and weeks ahead. (As a promise that I haven’t forgotten you on the other side of the pond.) First let me mention that it is really, really good to be back in our own place. Even though I said it in application to my Mom’s house back in the USA several weeks again, I’m saying it again now: There’s no place like home. Still true.
So here’s what’s on tap in the weeks ahead! {I hope it gets you excited. And if this list is missing something you’d like to see, you’ll say so.}
1. Deep thoughts on a verse I want to spend a lot of time soaking in this year that I hear the Lord speaking to me through over and over again. (Sorry I seem to use that phrase over and over again. No pun intended.) Quoted by Jesus a few times in the New Testament, it first pops up in Hosea 6:6:
“I desire mercy and not sacrifice.”
Six little words, packed with some serious meaning. Woot.
2. A little sprucing up around here for 2011. A slice of a preview:
What’d’ya think?
3. Pictures of our newborn son. Can you believe we have six weeks to go? I am simultaneously three parts pumped and one part nervous. We have a lot to get together around here before this one arrives. Like a name. And moving the Bear into a big boy bed. And hopefully potty training… And a NAME!
4. If he can be convinced, I would really like to start having a regular feature around here with some of Hero Hubs’ five-star photos. You guys, he seriously takes some amazing shots and I want him to pick them out and share them with you here. They are too good not to share. Will you leave a comment and let HH know that you’d like to see more of his awesome photography? Preeeeez???
Alright, guys and gals. I need to get back to the spruce-up project, and get these cankles elevated for a while! Thanks again for your prayers. You are awesome!
I create resources to help people find deeper, more meaningful relationships with God through pursuing, pondering, and prayer. The "Shop" link above will take you to the home of many of the lovely resources I’ve created to help you keep walking one day deeper with Jesus.
I would like to see more of Mark’s spectacular photography. It helps me live vicariously. 🙂
Yay! I am working on convincing… 🙂
I want to see Mark’s photography!! Go Markus! and I am also super keen to hear what you have to say about ‘mercy not sacrifice’. Go for it, lovely lady! You are an excellent writer and thinker.
xx
Thank you, Pam! I am looking forward to sharing those thoughts as they mull about in my prayer journal and my brain! And hopefully Mark will be convinced soon… tehe! xoxo
Looking forward to your Hosea 6:6 thoughts.
I’d also like to see Mark’s photos from your fancy new camera!
XOXXO
Thanks dear friend! More is on the way!!
I love the new header! Wow, only six weeks left! I can’t wait to see your new little one!
Thank you — and yes, can you believe it? We woke up this morning (nice and late — the Bear let us sleep in till 9!) and realised we only have another six Saturdays like this!! Yikes!
Gasp … new header is stunning!!! Here’s a post you might find useful, all about getting ready for a new sibling: http://www.se7en.org.za/2009/02/11/se7en-things-people-ask-me-about-siblings
Thank you!!! I am excited to read that post — you are certainly someone who knows!
I want to see HH’s photos!! I can’t wait 😀
Yay! He has been busy since we got back to SA — I just have to get hold of him long enough the photos off his MacBook!!
Please add more pics…..it’s one of my many favorites about your blogs!!!
Thanks, Meredith! More pictures are definitely coming soon, to a blog post near you! 🙂

¡Muchisimas gracias, Alvaro! Acabo de visitar su blog y es bonito para practicar el Español y para pensar en las cosas academicas de cine y filosofÃÂa — dos de mis favoritos! No puedo hablar mucho el Español aqui en Africa del Sur y necesito practicar o voy a olvidar. ¡Mucho gusto y bendiciones! xCarolina
Absolutely want to see some photos! I love the photos on your blog! Beautiful! I need a lesson!
Yay! Trying to convince Mark to take the time to pick out more photos to share! I’m so glad you enjoy them…so thankful we have a camera to take them with and share them!
