* Since I’m off FB for awhile, I’m noticing that status’ pop into my head regularly. A sign I was on it too much? Perhaps. But, I can honestly say I’ve not missed it like I thought I would. <\/p>\n
* Chocolate and tea, I’m missing. In the mornings, I’m substituting hot water with fresh squeezed lemon and a little sugar. It’s not bad, but it’s not my tea. <\/p>\n
* Payton and I also did a Daniel Fast together last week for 3 days. No meats, dairy, preservatives, breads, or sugars. We survived on things like brown rice, fruits, veggies, natural peanut butter, nuts and lots of water. In the future, we’ll spend more time preparing for it so we can pull together some tastier recipes. It was a humbling experience, helping us realize how spoiled we are with the huge variety of foods that are readily available to us. My rumbling stomach reminded me to thank God for his love and provision. And, it also helped to stretch both of us a bit, in finding foods that we wouldn’t normally eat – some of which are new favorites (have you tried the 100% fruit leathers at Trader Joes?!?) <\/p>\n

* Sometimes a GPS doesn’t even know where it’s going, which is bad for this directionally-challenged mom. <\/p>\n
* I need about a week with NOTHING to do so I can catch up on all the books I’ve started and not finished. Like that’s gonna happen…<\/p>\n
* Just when you think you have all your ducks in a row, they suddenly all break out of line. Last Wednesday was one of those days. <\/p>\n
* Today was a good day for the ducks. <\/p>\n
* I’m stretched thin most days, with a crammed full schedule. But, I love my life. <\/p>\n
* Waiting is hard, I don’t care who you are. <\/p>\n
* But, the wait can be extremely rewarding. More on this soon ;) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
