"Enjoy"
Hello, friends! I saw the email from Kate Motaung's "Five Minute Friday," which she hosts on her blog and on Facebook. I knew with work I was not going to be able to write on Friday. So, I started this on Saturday and even though it is now Monday...I still wanted to share with you!
Friday's prompt was "enjoy".
Enjoy - there . . .

A New Normal?
Today, I'm continuing my reflections on "Uninvited" by Lysa TerKeurst. Chapter 7 is all about When Our Normal Gets Snatched. Wow, that is a loaded statement. I don't know about you, but I like the "known", the "predictable", the "comfortable", and the "normal".
Our normal can get "snatched" from us almost daily..a bad day, a bad report . . .

Friendships that Honor God
Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 30
What a beautiful reminder this quote is for me from Chapter 6, Friendship Breakups, in Lysa TerKeurst's "Uninvited". The whole message of the book is getting past rejection and to "live loved".

Retreat
Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 28
My husband and I are leading a retreat this weekend. As I was deciding what to write for today, I looked up the meaning of "retreat". It is the "act of withdrawing, as into safety or privacy; seclusion." It can also be "a place of refuge" or a "time to get away for a period of time for religious exercises and meditation."

Tasks or Blessings?
Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 27
I was going through some pictures on my computer and came across this one.
I love the quote by Crystal Stine about "get to moments" instead of "have to tasks". Many times I have seen daily tasks such as laundry, cooking, errands, and cleaning as mundane and things I have to do. However, when I look at them through God's lenses, they . . .
