Blessings this Week: 10.09.2015 Edition


Let's be honest- life can be hard. This week's version of difficulty has been sore muscles, slow going, last minute changes, and a very busy week of work. But through it all, no matter what, in every circumstance and in every moment, God is good-- and He's good to me.

Two mourning doves on the driveway

Dusty tires. Because I'm a country girl now.

The leaves starting to change colors

Fitting fortune cookies. We went out for Chinese before we rented the floor sander, and these were the actual fortunes we got in our cookies. So much for procrastinating, messing around, and whining...

Our home called Shalom now has it's new occupants... and there are children and hammocks and slingshots. I love it. I have no doubt that they'll take good, good care of our little home. Shalom's new chapter is a bright one!

A husband who always (always) makes me laugh.

I'm so blessed by all the things this temporary time of being a nomad is teaching me


...   ...   ...   ...   ...

The knowledge that even in my limitations and weakness, God's got this under control.

A very full weekend ahead of us!

THIS WEEK


Around The Speckled Goat this week...

A Home Called Shalom: The Ten Things I'll Miss the Most

We moved out of our house. Like, out out. Completely out. As you can probably see from the picture ^up there^ of children running through what used to be my front yard. I'm so happy that the little house has such a good family now, but I'm sappy. I'll miss our little house- especially these ten things. Speaking of houses...



This is what we've been doing in the farmhouse. It's all very exciting. And messy. And sticky. And time-consuming. But, if ever you find yourself attempting to remove glue from hardwood floors, I've got some tips for ya

COMING SOON


I'm so excited about the next few months here on The Speckled Goat! So excited.

I've got giveaways and challenges coming your way- you don't want to miss it!

If you want to stay connected and updated, you can ..



and now... you can also follow me on Twitter. Although no promises on how active I'll be. Because 140 characters is not many. And I still don't really get this whole Twitter thing. Learning. =)

    1. Aw, Lara, you're too sweet.

      Honestly, sharing my blessings makes ME a better me- and keeps me somewhat accountable to doing the hard work of finding the joy!
