"By Your Side"

Today's song really helped me to understand that I didn't have to do something to earn God's love, and that I needed to stop fighting and just receive it. I don't know if any of y'all have ever struggled with that, but I certainly have. I pray that you have confidence in His love for you today.
And now for my week...
...My passport arrived!!

...I experienced a little bit of crying, dying baby mice drama in my front yard yesterday...
Ftr, I didn't realize it was dying at this point. I just thought it was cute, though I didn't want it to grow up in my front yard. I later realized that there were a few of them in the yard and garage, and they had apparently lost their mama. Chris was at Guys' Night with a few guys from our Community Group. I didn't know what to do, and I felt horrible about it.

This morning I discovered that two of them had died. I don't know about the third one. I'm glad they don't live in my yard and won't make their way into my house, but it's still sorta sad.
...On a happier note, I helped out at our church's Fall Fest and fell in love with this sweet baby girl:

...And I had great conversation & delicious dessert tonight in celebration of Laurien's birthday!
I hope y'all are having a wonderful weekend that has nothing to do with crying, dying baby mice! ♥
