I'm going to post a few favorites from last week along with this week.
Rush's 5th birthday!
We went to Jump Jam, an indoor tramping park, and had a great time!
Friday was our church fall festival. The weather was TERRIBLE, but the kids still had a great time.
Saturday, we had a party for Rush, and it SNOWED! We had lots of fun hanging out with family and friends.
In our small group Bible study on Sunday morning, we discussed the first chapter of our new study A Couple After God's Own Heart. It was based on Adam and Eve and what they did to fail one another in their marriage and how they moved on.
Having freezer meals ready to go!
Since last weekend we've had veggie soup with cornbread muffins, chicken enchiladas with brown rice, and baked ziti with steamed broccoli. It has been so freeing already having dinner ready ahead of time!
Exercising!
I had been taking it easy for the last month because I was pregnant and not feeling very well. Then we had our first ultrasound at 8 weeks and discovered that I was experiencing a type of miscarriage called a blighted ovum. I won't go into details, but I did have to have outpatient surgery two weeks ago, and I am finally feeling like myself again this week! I have exercised almost every day! Here is my workout that I did on Wednesday night on our church's indoor track:
During the miscarriage, my sweet mother-in-law got me a gift card to the spa. I am going to use it today, and I'm so excited! I'm getting a one hour facial and spa pedicure!
I'm excited about the weekend, especially Sunday. We are studying Abraham and Sarah in class, and our pastor will be starting a new sermon series on Psalm 107. I'm also looking forward to choir Christmas music practice tomorrow morning.
I hope you make time with God a priority this weekend (and every day)!
Thanks for stopping by and catching up!
What are you learning through the Bible currently?
Just curious: what's your favorite Christmas song? (I can't pick just one!)
April, I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I also had a blighted ovum pregnancy between my second and third baby. I'm sure they told you this is a very common thing and it should not effect you if you get pregnant again. We know that God is in control and He takes care of us even when we don't know we are in need. You are such an inspiration to me and many others. Love Ya! Shelis
