Trying to keep track of the positive things in life! 40 of the 64 pounds I've lost were in Q1, 

Some meal prep for the week ahead - done over the weekend

Jenna and I eat more salads when the fixings are prepped!

I know that there is no need for prettiness or fripery for a Bible. But it makes my heart sing when I see it. I don't believe God minds one bit! Bo is from pretty Little Bibles on Etsy. Highlighters are Mr Penn, the best! The gorgeous handmade bookmark was sent to me by a very sweet woman on Instagram! In fact she sent me so many treasures. So grateful and blessed.

 

*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses *** 

Asking for prayer for Jeff's brother, who is undergoing hip replacement surgery today. Also, please pray for his family. They lost two people this week, Jeff's cousin and uncle. Praying for all affected by the terrible earthquake in East Asia. Heartbreaking.
