And Five Minute Friday Challenge
Come along for a quick trip down memory lane as I recount a few highlights from November. Don't forget to check out Jennifer's blog and the other writers, too. (The "Something Loved" was inspired by Andrew's Prompt for Five Minute Friday, but I am too late for the link-up party.)

Five Minute Friday Challenge

Fight
Five Minute Friday Challenge
Have you ever had an experience with hearing (or sensing) the Lord's voice and knowing it was Him? I had that experience with a box the other morning. (Balaam had a donkey, I had a box.)

Undecided
Five Minute Friday Challenge
"Undecided" - not having made a decision, opposite of being certain, confident.
I don't know about you, but some days, I can be undecided about many things; what to wear, what to eat, should I read or do housework, etc. We have so many choices and at times, it can feel overwhelming!
