Yes, I have been extremely busy! You can just look at our church calendar and see at a glance 2/3s of what is filling our time. Add to that birthdays, celebrations, social events, and family ministry--wow!
Today's blog post is going to be a little different. So many awesome things have happened that I'm going to just share a few pictures of some of my favorite experiences. ; )
We celebrated Chum's birthday by feeding "eatmeal" to ducks at the park. He had a ton of fun!!
Chap and Uncle Paul watching the ducks.
Love that sweet smile!!!
Yeah, this is what I mostly did. ; )
On that same day, Pearl and I discovered our first Little Free Library! We had the back of our van full of rejected stock for our used book business, so we decided to take the time to fill the library with an assortment of books. It was so much fun, and we can't wait to do it again! ; )
Our evenings have been mostly occupied by church Bible studies. It's been a really good time of learning and fellowship! Mom, Aimee, Anna, and I are also going through the Botkin's Reclaiming Beauty study with some friends of ours and their homeschool group. We just had our third session today, and it's been really good so far.
Anna and I spent a huge chunk of one day decorating the backs of our notebooks with things we love. (Mine is on the left and hers is on the right.) ; ) It was a great sister togetherness time, and we were sad when the project ended. ; )
What else have I been doing? Well, living, experimenting (more on that later), discovering (love this creative community!), editing ("Mara"), breathing (glad to hear it, aren't you?), cleaning, studying (real Mount Sinai!!!), enjoying, loving, and learning (the Levites were presented to God as a "living sacrifice" just like we are to be!).
Oh, and um... stories... Perry Elisabeth is hosting a short story contest!!! I'm so excited, and I can't wait to start on my submission. Also, if you go to my page on Noble Novels, you'll find the fifth part of "The Twin Arrows". (The suspense is building!!)
It's been an awesomely blessed week and a half! How was yours?
My week? Crazy! I know I've gotten things done, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Maybe that's because most of those things weren't on my "to-do" list. :P
ReplyDeleteThe good news . . . I did order my proof copy of the second Graham Quartet book this morning! :D
Crazy, unplanned tasks can end up being veryy awesome! That is super great about the proof copy!!! Can't wai5 for the new book. ;)
DeleteFree Library. What a great idea! Kinda like Geocaching but with books. Take one, but leave one, idea.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it's pretty cool too. We first ran into the idea when we saw a book about them, so it was a dream come true to actually find one. ;)
