Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

 


This week has been full of crazy stories that (in the accurate words of my dear friend, Lois) would only happen to me. Water came up under our garage door and made a big mess. Saw a snake. Messed up a dish I cooked. I’m sure there was more, but I’m not going to search too far into my brain to call up anything else.

                Today I’m speaking at a women’s conference, so if you see this before tonight and want to join me in prayer for the ladies attending, I’d love that! And while we learn, here are some links for you!

When I had a cold last month, the barista at my favorite coffee shop gifted me one of these medicine ball tea drinks. It was so good, I bought all the things to make it at home for myself! I’m not a huge tea drinker, but this one has a lemonade base (I bought sugar free) and is tasty AND good for the throat. She also brought my standing Americano order, so I sat there with all my drinks and had a great morning!

KariAnne Wood is a great storyteller, and in this post, she tells the story of her house as though it were a fairy tale, which makes a simple home tour all the more exciting. I love the history, memories, and love wrapped up in this family home of hers, and she tells it well. (And I love her style!)

I’ve shared some gardening posts already this year, but Jami’s advice here comes with several links for even MORE information. If you’re thinking about getting into gardening this year or need some ideas about how to do an even better job than you’ve done before, she has good advice with beautiful garden spaces to back it up!

When we lived in Kokomo, our Sunday School class often studied a video series by Ray Vander Laan. I loved learning from his knowledge of first century life. A few weeks ago I ran across this short video (a newer one of his) that talks about the meaning of the words in the Shema. If you have not seen this, I encourage you to watch! I love his teaching style!

I know we are heading toward warmer weather, but it’s not all shorts all the time yet. I saw these jeans on a link post a few weeks ago and think they’re pretty cute. I have no idea how they would actually look on me, but they are cute on the model! Price is right, too!

I’m always looking for ways to simplify our lives…and maybe what I’m really looking for is a way to go back to a simpler time. It’s hard to do that when life is so interconnected, and you really need EVERYONE to have that same philosophy to make it work in an ideal way. But even if you’re going it alone on this one, check out Katie’s list of ideas for returning to analog life. Some of these I’m already doing and others are a fabulous idea.
