{Five on Friday // And an announcement}

Happy Friday! Man, I just love Fridays. Especially Friday's that we have Bible Study and fellowship with some of our favorite people. I just can't think of a better way to start a weekend!! We are also having Easter with my family on Saturday and we're very much looking forward to that. And if the weather cooperates then we'll have Sunday Funday at a lake after church!! But for now, it's time for Five on Friday...

{T W O} // The Water Bottle Trick

Nathan got Mason with the water bottle trick that was floating around Facebook! Mason didn't see it coming! I love that he can laugh about things such as having water splashed in his face. I would have been upset! ha. But don't worry...Mason got Nate back later that night by throwing cold water on him while he was in the shower. I love these boys of mine.

I found a new site that offers free SVG cutting files! Check out Free SVG Images here. They just added three new Mother's Day files; here, here, and here.

{F O U R} Speaking of Cricut...

I whipped up Mason and I some Easter shirts yesterday! We are celebrating Easter with my family tomorrow and I wanted shirts for us to wear. On Easter we'll be in our Sunday best so I am glad we have an opportunity to wear a fun and festive Easter shirt tomorrow. I knew I wanted something fun for Mason {because that's just who he is} and I love the one he picked out. And you know that my shirt was bound to have the word "y'all" in it!

{B O N U S} // Take Courage by Bethel...

This song has been on repeat this week! It's really speaking to my soul and I just can't get enough of it. It brings me so much hope and encouragement. He's in the waiting...

Slow down, take time

Breath in, he said

He'd reveal whats to come

The thoughts in his mind

Always higher than mine

He'll reveal all to come

Take courage, my heart

Stay Steadfast, my soul

He's in the waiting

He's in the waiting

Hold on to your hope

As your triumph unfolds

He's never failing

He's never failing

Sing praise, my soul

Find strength in joy

Let his words lead you on

Do not forget his great faithfulness

He'll finish all he's begun

And you who hold the stars

Who call them each by name

Will surely keep your promise to me

That I will rise in your victory

- Kristene DiMarco, Bethel
