Goodbye Summer, Hello School! + {Some Bloggy News}

{via}

Annnd it's Back to School we all go...

Which leads me to reflect on what a delightful summer break I've had... 

But, I have to admit that it does feel so good to get into a routine again. 

Mom has eased us back into the schedule bit by bit.

God has given us the gift of learning~  And it's a blessing to be able to learn! 
Think of all the impoverished places in the world where
children haven't had the opportunity to go to school, or even know what school is. 
Whether it is learning in school or spiritually, both are things to be treasured. 

Well, it's been awhile since I blogged last, and thus I must update you on my 'bloggy news'.

My dear friend, Emily of

is having some wonderful posts on her blog this week on the topics of love, courtship, and waiting for Prince Charming.  I encourage you to read them!  {I was one of the guest authors--you can read my post here.}

I also guest posted @ Grace's lovely Garden Walk here!

And there are a couple of really neat giveaways you should check out here & here!

Last of all Hurricane Irene is headed our way this weekend.  I'm pretty nervous about it! 

But, at the same time, I know God has us in His palm. 
And of course, "He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."{Luke 8:25b}
Nothing can harm us unless He allows it.  I would appreciate your prayers right now!  :)

Alrighty, I guess I can stop now.  I know, I know---news overload!  *laughs*

Have a beautiful evening, lovelies!

Much <3 in Christ,

Moriah
