All the Things: An August Update

Perhaps you've noticed I've had a hard time getting back into my writing schedule since my July blogging break. While I don't usually do personal updates, I thought I'd share a few things with you as we prepare to dive into Fall:

• In case you're wondering, we did not host a French student. Instead I learned some good things about God's timing and honoring my husband.
• Can you believe I had to take a break from hospitality for a few week during July? More to come on that.
• On July 26th we celebrated 5 years of life and ministry in Orlando. I still have some processing to do on these past 5 years.
• I'm starting to connect and be able to use some of my gifts and passions at my church. This is an answer to a prayer of many years. 
• I'm reading a lot of mindless fiction right now because I spent the beginning of the year diving into lots of serious stuff and needed a break. 
• I am also reading Supper of the Lamb by Father Robert Farrar Capon. 
• If you don't know, I work from home as a Virtual Assistant and I love it more and more each day.
• I'm super excited about the Fall. It's my favorite season. I'll decorate my house, eat all things pumpkin, and go on some fun trips. 
• A group of ladies met on August 10th to lead IF:Local in Orlando. More on that soon for all you locals.
• The Nester's 31 Days will be here before you know and I'll be announcing my topic soon.

Thanks for your grace, support, and encouragement, friends! I'm so thankful for you.
