goodbye summer + praise report.

happy monday friends!
it is officially fall, and to wish summer a bon voyage until next year, we made it a day out at the park yesterday, soaking up some nice on your shoulders sun with an oh so pleasant breeze. it was nice. family time is always nice, though right?
minus the crazy uncle, thank goodness that's on my husband's side. ;)





in other news, my heart is exploding with thankfulness. 
my parents have been experiencing a whole lotta stretching from the Lord lately, and in turn, it affects my sisters and i. however, in the middle of it all we have been able to witness God's hand all over it, time and time again. when the Lord wants to take your faith to a higher lever, He doesn't hesitate, and for that i'm so thankful that He is choosing to do so.
my baby sister was able to get her driver's license on her first try, so that my dad would not have to be taking time out of his work day to drive her anymore, she was hired at one of the first jobs she applied for. 
and let me tell you, it's a good job with good pay. in this economy, we really were just hoping for a fast food place or retail with minimum wage.
well God so comes through when He says He has something more than what we can hope for. 
and overall, He is just a good, good God. 

can i get an amen?

i hope you had a wonderful weekend, and here's to a blessed week!

Just love these pictures, my friend -- and that last one could easily be Maile's cousin Nayeli ... I had to do a double-take! ;)

Tim and I have been stretched financially lately, too. I never cease to be amazed that whatever we *need* always manages to show up just in the nick of time. Our God is ever faithful! So happy to read of your sister, and that your parents are doing okay!
