Currently // Volume 04


Hey there lovelies. It is Monday and you know what that means... I am linking up with the beautiful Jenna at A Mama Collective for "Currently" a link up about what your currently up to.



Thinking //
This morning was my first ever MOPS group meeting.  I was really excited to go because I have heard such great things from friend in the past.  This years theme is "Be YOU Bravely"  and this is a mantra that keeps coming up in my life.  My PWOC Tuesday is about fearless.  I struggle so much with fear and try to pretend all is well, but I allow fear to dictate so much in my life with out even being aware. Obviously God is trying to tell me something!  So I pray I am OPEN to hear all He is trying to tell me.  

Reading // 
I shared about how I am reading Fearless Daughters of the Bible in my Tuesday PWOC bible study class.  Last week we Read about Sarah. We started disscussing Sarah and how she was just living her life, following her husband, she was just a ordinary woman whom God choose to use to become the Mother of our Faith. (Gen 17:15-16).  The tools Sarah had were just obedience and faith.  Sarah ended up in the "Hall of Fame" in Hebrews 11:11-12.  But I don't think she was doing anything special but being faithful to Her Heavenly Father.  I always dream of "One Day" thinking of how God will use me.  I have always thought the people God uses are standing in the pulpit somewhere or on a mission field.  But could it be possible my ministry is now?  Me just living my life for Him out loud.  That the things I am doing right now, this very minute are the things God is using to help someone else?  When you think in these terms, I believe it changes the mundane and ordinary things like serving my husband dinner or sharing coffee with a friend or wiping a boo boo in a whole new light. Don't you agree?

Working //
I am working on getting my shop stocked.  I started a new "You Are" collection to go along with where I am in my life now.  Here is a sneak peek. 


  


They will be listed in the shop this week.  I am trying out new picture ideas so bear with me.  

Smelling //
I have a pork roast in the crock pot for dinner and it smells AMAZING! I am making burritos for dinner but my favorite is the leftovers that I use to make nachos.  Kyler LOVES them too.  Here is a pic of him enjoying them last time I made it. 


Pinning //
ALL things fall...Pumpkin. Crafts. Decoration.  I don't have fall here so I have to enjoy it through pinterest.
What are you currently up to?

  1. Reading about that pork roast is making me hungry! I love the smell of something cooking all day for a delicious dinner! I love these reminders about being brave too. I think that is harder for most of us than we would like to admit. Have a great week!

  5. Amen to living "your faith life out loud"! This is certainly ministry and one that while not always measurable is essential is the beautiful mess of life.
    Peace, Elizabeth
