Well, I hope you have all had a wonderful last week of Summer. My dear Hubby was off last week and spent most of the week painting our Girl’s room and new Loft bed, which we had bought at a local consignment shop. Another sacrificial moment from my hub and another reason why He is awesome. 
Speaking of Awesome Husband moments, I stumbled upon a link from a fellow blogger who is sharing her awesome hubby list and encouraging others to do so! This only convinced me further that Great Minds Think Alike. Ahem…In my humble opinion. OK, well here is the Link to this sister who just last week (freaky, yes?), had a My Husband Is Awesome link up! Not sure if it is regular or not BUT…

Is anyone feeling mixed feelings at the start of September? 
I am…I long for the structure, routine and change, 
yet am also feeling amazingly overwhelmed at the same time. 
This leads me to lean heavy on His word. 
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,
 for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, 
so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9

Mission Accomplished!

Best Pizza EVER! Hubs made it: fresh dough,
garden fresh tomatoes, eggplant and basil, olive oil,
garlic and cheese!
YUM.

My Multitudes on Monday:

287. Orange ball sunrise over the ocean this morning slipping through a strip of cloud sitting on the horizon. 
288. Our sweet puppy, always ready for a ride,
furry faithful friend
289. The hope found in John 14 and 15. 
290. Clinging to His unchanging Word when my emotions are as loopy as a roller coaster ride.
291. Wednesdays with my MIL, Grace- blessing 
292. My hubby and all his awesomeness
293. Family and friends in abundance
294. Our new church family and membership
295. The understanding that I am part of more 
than one local body but His Body- 
The church universal which comes through His Spirit

Linking with old and new friends here:

    Great pics… my hubby was off work last week too and spent time working in the garden. We moved house a year ago and the garden was a tip but it's looking lovely now. He too is a good worker. Hubby appreciation going on here too!
