More Than Just a New Look

Yes, it was time for a new look. I said I would be changing it, and quite frankly, I am proud that I was able to go this long with the same look! I am REALLY ready for summer this year for many reasons. I love warm weather and I love it when I am able to pull my flip flops out again after keeping my feet crammed in socks all winter. The Hildebrands have been in a "winter" season for longer than just 3 months. It has been long and hard, but God has been faithful. He's been there keeping us warm through it all. I can't say that I have found joy in every moment, but my faith has been stretched and strengthened more than I could've ever imagined. We all go through times in our lives when we are traveling through a valley. God uses those times to teach us to trust Him. He is giving me glimpses of a new warm season just ahead. So while I wait, I am going to slip on my flip flops, walk with Him and bask in His warmth.

Oh Tammy,

Your faith and courage never cease to amaze me my friend! I am so honored to call you friend! I am praying for a long warm season for your family. You have been so faithful and honest during your winter season.

I am here if you need me. I am praying for His grace to be more than amazing for all of your needs!

I love you,

Cyndi

Oh, and I love the new look! I want to change our blog's look, but I don't have th energy right now. I may try to tackle that over the weekend!

Either way, it looks great! Love the flip-flops!

Super Love the new look......and even more super, super glad that God is giving you glimpses of a new season of sun!!

I love you and I am so proud of you. You know, I think God is up there cheering for you, as much as, no more than I was cheering for Bryce last night.

Much love to you and your super sassy flip flops.

Girl, you are not alone in this walk and he's gonna get you through it with your flip flops still on your feet. You and Eric have taken on an amazing, admirable task. Know that I am praying for your whole family as you go through this season of summer. It's coming. I definitely feel the heat rising.
On a side note, I have this fabric in my craft closet-the flip flop fabric...waverly...I think. I'm still trying to decide what to do with it. Loved it when I bought it and love it on your blog!
love you,
Terri
