8 Things

1.  Monday we started 1/2 marathon training.  I’m super excited because both partners in crime who are joining me have never done a 1/2 before.  I am so excited for them and that I get to run the race with them.  Accomplishing things together makes me super happy.  And one of the things I totally love about a training schedule like this is coming home each morning and crossing out that day…it speaks to my organizational heart.

PS: that little black haired baby Josh Kelley is holding is HARPER!!!!  What the what time?!?!

2.  Speaking of Harper…she’s going to Africa this summer and could not be more excited.  When I told her she just smiled and came over and gave me the biggest, sweetest hug.  We want her to take ownership over the trip as well so she is responsible for helping raise her funds.  This is not a cheap trip, but one we feel is incredibly important for her to take.  This will be her second time to Africa, but first to Swaziland.  She’s been brainstorming fundraising ideas…so far she’s made her own stationary and has been writing support letters.  She wants to sell cookies and art too.  We have a plan to collaborate on some colorful pieces and maybe some of you will purchase and help send this girl across oceans.

3.  Saturday we held another Bible journaling class at our house.  It was the sweetest group and sweetest time…it always is.  After every lady leaves I always just sit for a moment and think how dang lucky I am to teach this class.  It is a highlight in my month.  March is going to be a wild month for us, so there will be no class in our house this month.  I will still be traveling to teach the class so if you would like for me to come to you, message me HERE and we’ll work out all the details.

4.  Locals…if you ever need some Timbali Crafts…maybe a last minute gift or a treat-yo-self purchase with a purpose, well I’m your girl.  Just message me and you can come shop your heart out.  Timbali is sold on a volunteer basis so I do not receive any compensation for sales, I simply love these women and their products and use them everyday, so it’s a no brainer to sell them and tell the world.

5.  This picture of Hudson cracks me up.  In the evening, if this kid so much as rests his head he is out…like a light.  He is quite the easy sleeper.

7.  Today I start Revelations.  I am a bit nervous and excited.  My friend Miranda hooked me up with some study videos so I’m hoping this will ease the pain of Revelations.  And after Revelations, here comes Genesis.  I’ve been reading the Bible for around 18 months…started in Matthew…just now starting Revelations.  I have not been fast by any means, but I sure do love reading the Bible now and I’d say that is success.

8.  And orders.  Today I’m working at home alone and it’s going to be quite glorious.  Another name pillow and some key fobs.  Raise the roof.  Here are two cute pillows that headed out bright and early this morning.  Shoot me a message HERE if you’d like to place an order.

Hope everyone’s having a decent week so far.  We’re half way thought it.

Happy Wednesday.

    Dear Harper, I would love to help with your trip to Africa. I am super excited for you and proud you are working to pay part of your own way. I have 3 boys and one of them has been on a mission trip and going again this year. He is also helping to fund his trip. Please ask your mom to share what you are making/selling and I will make my purchases. There is a verse in the Bible, Isaiah 11:6 …..and a little child shall lead them…..” and I am certain God has amazing plans for you. Congratulations!
    Mrs. Murray
