This week has been crazy busy and I have found that I have had little time to sit and think let alone write and share. I am on taper week, so I find that I am starting the taper crazies and rethinking my training. I trust the training and am confident I will rock my race in 9 days!!
I am doing my best to focus on allowing and giving myself grace to rest and have me time. Enjoying the moment and having faith in my ability and skills (in all areas of life: running, parenting, homeschooling, etc).
Today I am going to go a different route and share with you five of my favorites from this week.
Scenes from the week
Enjoying the taper means spending a little less time on my feet, while still working the legs. I enjoyed a beautiful morning bike ride while pulling the youngest in the bike trailer. Fresh air. Sunshine. Movement. Happy.
Earlier this week we had gorgeous weather (now it is raining… we need the rain). The boys and I shared our goofy side with this shadow photo as we were walking to the neighborhood park.
The rain came and my boys just had to go out and play in it. It was a cool 57 degrees. They were shivering and giggling uncontrollably. They had fun for the whole 10 minutes they were out there in the pouring rain.
Last night I made my mother-in-love’s homemade BBQ meatballs. It was a big hit and super yummy. I will share the recipe on the blog soon, but for now you can just enjoy the impromptu photo I took of it as I took it out of the oven last night. Yummy.
It has been my intent and focus to start each day in the Word. Whether it is a simple devotional from The Jesus Calling book, or diving deep into my small group study that I am doing with my husband. I enjoy the quiet, reflection, lessons, and time with Jesus. Oh yes, coffee is nice too!
