Rest

Needing some rest right now.  This is how I feel lately:

 

But I think of this verse, and it helps: 

Isaiah 43:2: When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.   

I don't think I'd call this "deep waters," it's not hard enough for that, but, I definitely think it's a little too deep and some arm floaties would be of help... :)

Smiths Marketplace

Have I mentioned I love our new Smiths? It's true!

Little Dog Big Man

We went running in the snow last night, and besides the absolute beauty of the snow in the streetlamps, I think my favorite part of the run was seeing the tracks of a big man who owns, and adores, his teeny-tiny dog.  He is always so happy with his dog and makes sure if it's dark that he shines his flashlight where his dog is so you don't step on the dog.  It was so cute and funny last night though because the snow has just covered the ground, and the only footprints were these big man sized footprints, and the tiniest dog footprints I've ever seen. I said to Nathan, "I bet the man and his dog are coming up!!" Sure enough, there they were, 100 foot on, standing to the side of the sidewalk as we ran past! :)  The man is always super friendly, and I have gotten more love for teeny-tiny dogs since having met him because he loves his dog so much. :)
