Sunday Scrapbook: Moments from the Week

 

                This week has been full of plot twists and unexpected moments. This week was packed with so much prayer about so many things, and while many answers remain elusive, I’m thankful for God’s tenderness. Here is a peek at some parts of our week!

                Last Sunday was our last day of the holiday weekend. We decided to squeeze in one last weekend boat ride, and alas, a rainstorm blew up while we were out. We’ve never had to land the boat in high winds. I’m not sure how we did it, but we managed to bring it in! (Bet you wish you had footage of that spectacle, don’t you?)

                I’ve been convicted about spending more purposeful time in prayer at and about the church. I’m reading a book on prayer right now (one I really love) and I decided to spend some time at the altar, reading and praying. It was quiet and beautiful in that space, and I’m so glad I carved out this time.

                I worked from home on Tuesday and someone was VERY happy about that. Bible study, school prep, catching up on all the things I was behind on from conference week…it was one productive day! And I was glad to get to spend it with my favorite sidekick.

                I finished handwriting the book of Mark this week! One whole journal is now filled with Matthew and Mark, and then I started writing out Luke. I’m so glad I have stuck with this and am excited to see what it looks like at the year’s end, when I have all four gospels written out!

                As you saw on my post a couple of days ago, I finally figured out where to put the tandem bike canvas I thrifted back in December. I love how it looks on the Hoosier Cabinet, and I’m glad to have another little corner of the house looking polished!

                Friday was kind of a hard day on several fronts, but you know what makes hard days sweeter? This cute face staring up at me. And Ryan. I am so thankful for his wisdom as we muddle through a whole bunch of things right now.

                Saturday night’s sunset was next-level stunning FOREVER. Usually we see a brilliant sunset and then it changes – sometimes before we can run outside to take a picture. This one stayed and stayed and stayed and was such a gift after a gloomy day.
