Happy Friday!
At our church there are two questions they ask the person who is about to be baptized and they roll around in my head sometimes.
“Are you willing to go wherever God calls you to go?”
and
“Are you willing to do whatever God calls you to do?”
I fail at this all the time, but the key part of the questions are: “Am I willing?”
And as I change diapers, have heart conversations, clean up spills, correct harsh tones, and ask for forgiveness for my harsh tone, I hear this question: “Am I willing?
In all we have to do and GET to do this week as a wife or mother, one helpful question we can ask ourselves is: “Am I willing?”
Maybe the question will keep calling you higher like it has been doing for me.
Ideas for Intentionality:
Reading Binders I Have Been Putting Together: I grabbed a 4 pack of these, a huge box of page protectors, and I have been cutting and putting together my reading binders for All About Reading and All About Spelling. I really saw a difference this past year with the kids so I am moving on to the next levels with them.
Kid’s Health Essentials: I am trying to learn to keep a stocked sick arsenal and even items on hand to help keep my kids well. I have been giving the kids some Vit C sprays, D3 K2 sprays, probiotic drops, and my bigs are taking a Just Ingredients multi-vitamin.
The Hero of My Sick Week: I was actually so sick last week and nothing sounded as good as some hot broth on my throat. The problem was since my kitchen floor has been messed up I was low on frozen broth. And then I remembered how much I LOVE this powdered broth – it was so soothing on my throat and I just had to add water and it was good to go!
Just Ingredients Birthday Sale: This is their biggest sale of the year and it starts on Tuesday August 5th!
* It is 20% off sitewide and my code: GIRLTEACHME10 gets you free shipping!
I am going to grab some electrolytes, french vanilla protein powder, hyaluronic acid, and I want to try some of their new protein bars (because those are hard to find clean versions of).
Family Photo Outfit Brainstorming: It might be too early for some of yall, but the fall is usually a great time to grab some family photos. Now is a good time to start thinking about outfits that go together without being matchy matchy. Here is a blog post I did on how to put together outfits for your whole crew that you will LOVE long after since the pictures will be priceless keepsakes.
