Do you ever wake up and think about where you are, what has happened, and where the time has gone?
Lately all this week (and really these past few weeks) I've just felt like a zombie. And there has been a lot of "shift" going on in our lives, changes we don't have control over, and decisions that have to be made that make my head spin. These have seemed to steal little pieces of my joy, and on top of feeling like a zombie, I'm left with ugghhh. Yep, ugghh. No motivation, no inspiration. But I KNOW, and have faith, that it'll pass. That these moments will become memories that we will learn and grow from. So while I'm lacking some mental inspiration over here, I thought I'd share with you some amazing posts that have either caught my eye, inspired me immensely, or motivated me to get busy in the kitchen.
Enjoy!
Naptime Diaries is where I go when my heart needs a pep talk and this week she posted on how we as women fuel ourselves with lies about our body, the worth of ourselves, and how it ultimately affects our health. Currently I'm struggling a bit with the whole body issue with this pregnancy, seeing my body grow in places it hasn't before (hello love handles?!?!), and trying to stay healthy and fit when all I want is bread, cheese, and more bread. Coffee Pancakes will be made this weekend! Oh yes! This delicious recipe looks too good to pass up from Eat, Live, Run. We used to always have "Pancake Sundays" in our home, and over this past year we have stopped. I'm thinking that needs to make a come back and these will work perfectly to kick start that!
Mama Pea is gearing up to travel to Guatemala and she writes about what to pack...and it's not what you think. Her heart is so beautiful, and she reminded me what truly matters. It's not the items we are packing, but the ways in which we prepare our hearts. Humbles me every time I read it.
My free yoga classes are running out, so I'm looking at doing this intense workout to give myself the little extra kick it needs. It's call the "Depletion Workout" and I am deeply craving my muscles to ache, shake, and tell me "You did good!".
And the teacher in me just has to share how I want to do my word wall this year. It includes ribbons and looks so simple! I must get busy on this soon!
It sounds like you and I are in a similar season: I'm dealing with a lot of transition and decision-making as well. I'll be praying for you! It's harder, I think, to see Jesus when so much is up in the air, but I know He still sees us both.
ReplyDeleteCoffee pancakes sound delicious! I may have to make those happen in my house sometime soon.
