Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
Aww your dog makes such a cute noise when drinking haha!! =) Ok I will also add at first I thought you said daughter and was totally confused LOL.

I think coffee is one of the most popular things being mentioned on all these vlogs! I don't drink it but I know that's not normal! :P
ReplyDeleteAnd baby wipes definitely makes sense as one of the most useful things every day when you have a baby!
I love the #SheReadsTruth devotionals as well! The current one is particularly powerful. So nice to "meet" you!
ReplyDeleteShereadstruth! Yes!! (And you don't look like a scary monster at all!)Glad you linked up!
ReplyDeleteCoffee :) Always a good choice! And I have that exact same journal!! Did you get it at Target? I love it! Great video :)
ReplyDeleteYes I did! I've seen the journal a lot on instagram for the ladies doing shereadstruth
DeleteShe Reads Truth has been really great, hasn't it? Especially with coffee! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect together!
DeleteLove your coffee cup! I love coffee but am on strict decaf for right now (I'm nursing). I need some cute mugs though! Where did you get yours? & You're so right about She Reads Truth! I love it! I haven't been very involved this last reading plan and I'm feeling it greatly in my daily walk. I like you're messy bun!
ReplyDeleteMy husband found that coffee cup for me and I believe it was from TJMaxx. Sad to say this is the first time I've really stuck to a devotional and I grew up in church. Thanks I pretty much rock the messy bun daily.
DeleteThank you so much for linking up--you do not look like a monster you crazy lady. i also love that we got to hear your dog in the background :) you did great!!
