Beauty in Brokenness

March 19, 2010 by Sara Haynes 16 Comments

This week Chris asked me to pull out all the papers that we needed for our taxes.
As I began this “fun adventure” I decided that I might as well go through ALL our files and re-organize them. (I blame the spring cleaning fever I seem to have caught!)

They are so easy to make, and really, just make me feel super proud for making them myself 🙂

After deciding that I had to try them I went searching through the house for a magazine. Sadly the only one I had on hand was a “Self” magazine that my almost three year old had decided to rip the front cover off while waiting in line at the grocery store a few months ago. Fun.

I love Jesus, my guy Chris + our four. We seek joy. Homeschool. Adventure together. Mess up and start again.

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
Romans 8:28
