For weeks I haven’t been able to piece together any meaningful words to share. I blame winter and a back injury that had me, well, on my back. (Anyone else feeling just a general February malaise?)
But my friend @kimberlyacoyle shared a #windowontheweek post and I thought to myself, “This I can do.” Here we go:
❤️ My husband ordered a giant monogram M filled with Valentine’s confections for me back in January. The January before we decided to go off sugar (among other things) for the month of February. Sometimes planning ahead isn’t the move. 😂
👟 He also took me surprise shopping for new running shoes today so I still feel like a winner.
📚 I’m currently reading Brave: A Teen Girl’s Guide to Beating Worry & Anxiety by @sissygoff. Even though I’m a mom to 3 teenagers, this book is actually helping me, a very grown woman. Her guide is helpful for anyone, not just girls, who struggle with worry and anxiety. I’m looking forward to passing this one along to my college daughter who is a Young Life leader for high school girls.
🎧 I’m listening to Will the Circle Be Unbroken?: A Memoir of Learning to Believe You’re Gonna Be Okay by Sean Dietrich (@seanofthesouth) and I already know it’s going to be a favorite for me. His southern drawl that beats all southern drawls makes the audio version an experience, let me tell you.
📺 Since Christmas my husband and I have been making our way through “Better Call Saul.” It’s slow and sneaky and has the best characters. A top TV show of all time for me.
🙏 I’m learning that much of my work these days happens in listening and in prayer. Gone are the days of cutting off sandwich crusts and sorting Legos, work that held a measure of control and predictability. These days I feel around in the dark and pray for a flicker of wisdom (and also for Jesus to just take the wheel already.)
How about you? Give me a window on your week. You can also share on IG using #windowontheweek.
