I have been part of a women’s weekly bible study for the last two years and loved it. I loved getting to know several women who were in the same place in life as I was. We grew, connected and saw each other through life’s ups and downs. Sadly, this summer was our last summer…
Congratulations, Melissa!
I just wanted to pop in and say a HUGE Congratulations to my sister, Melissa, who competed in her first bodybuilding competition yesterday. She came in First place in Novice Class E and Second place in Open Class E. We are so very proud of the hard work and determination that she has shown over the…
Coffee Break
On Thursday Allan told me that he was thinking about not drinking coffee anymore. He told me that he felt that it was keeping him from drinking enough water. He then asked me to join him and I told him to, “have fun with that”. With a new baby in the house and all of my other…
Applesauce
I am writing one handed while holding Joshua and rocking him to sleep, so this will not be a very wordy post. One of the things that we loved about our house when we first looked at it were the abundance of trees. Two of which are apple trees – one red and another green….
A Beautiful Fall Walk
I wanted to say thank you for all of your kind words on yesterday’s post. We really appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Joshua is doing really well and our new protocol seems to be working, as his rash is getting much better every day and he is getting to be much more regular. —————————- Fall…
Feeling All the Feels
This is something that I have been avoiding posting about because I feel so defeated. It’s as though if I don’t write about it then it isn’t happening. Which is completely untrue, because I’m feeling all the feels, but just keeping them locked up inside. I have a small part of my soul that never…
Plan To Eat
One of the ways that I save our family money and keep myself sane is by planning our meals. I usually make a list of what we have to use up in the fridge and use that along with our anticipated CSA share to plan for quick trips to the grocery store. Last year I…
Crockpot Apple Pie Oatmeal
On Friday mornings Allan leaves at 5 AM to participate in a men’s group at our church. This last Friday was the first time that he has gone since Joshua was born, therefore it was my first time having to be up early to feed the hungry boys on my own. To make things even…
Grace Day
I am a regular #SheReadsTruth reader and Saturdays are typically Grace Days. A Grace Day is meant to give you a day to catch up on weekly readings and spend time in reflection and prayer. They offer a short passage for mediation and guidance, but they encourage you to spend time just you and God. Today…
Love First
I didn’t start this writing challenge with a list of topics or a plan. I simply felt that I could generate enough material in my own daily walk that I could easily fill 31 days with examples of God’s grace. This spring my ladies’ bible study read 1 John together. 1 John 4:19 says that…
31 Days of Grace
For the last several months I have desired to begin writing again. My soul isn’t full when I don’t have a creative outlet to express myself. I’ve been downright lost in this season of not writing. I have spent much of the last year pregnant, sick and fatigued or postnatal, sick and exhausted that I didn’t make time to write…
