Blessings this Week: 10.16.2015 Edition

This week, I've really felt like everything is falling apart. Lots of demands on my time, lots of unexpected and unplanned needs, lots of pain and disappointment.

But through it all, God is good- and He is good to me.

Fall leaves through the kitchen window


...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Colleagues who care and pray and understand

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

A place to go.

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Sleep.

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Netflix, ice packs, and box fans

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Lots of squirrels running around busy

...   ...   ...   ...   ...



A nice big kitchen with lots of windows

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

The lessons I'm learning by being so needed

...   ...   ...   ...   ...


Special visits from a dear friend-- and how she brightened up my weekend

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Brownies from Mom

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

People who give me grace

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Progress.

THIS WEEK


Reclaiming the Moment

Sometimes, I just want to be grouchy. But I know that staying put in that attitude makes me ungrateful, hard to be around, and becomes a spiral into the pit of "woe is me." Instead, I'm (very slowly) learning to stop and reclaim the moment.



Featured Farmers: Amanda's Story

Part of our Featured Farmers series, I interviewed Amanda from The Farmer's Daughter to pick her brain about the challenges and blessings of ag-vocating and being a farm kid.

Get ready for a great new challenge- it's a good one! Stay tuned!


Have a wonderful weekend- find those blessings!

  3. Windows I'm jealous, my kitchen very dark because the one window is north facing. but then I can still see blessings in my big kitchen as well.
