Welcome to my weekly publish sharing a peek into our previous week + providing you with an replace on how I did on my objectives this previous week and my habits chart the final week.

Jesse and I celebrated our twentieth wedding ceremony anniversary — and celebrated by going out with two different {couples} to dinner and axe-throwing.

So grateful for the present of friendships — and all of the laughter and life we’ve shared with the {couples} pictured right here.

Additionally, a throwback to twenty years in the past on our wedding ceremony! (By the way in which, I posted this on Instagram and other people have been very confused about what the blue drink was — these are floating candles in blue water. Additionally, I wore my mother’s costume, in case you have been questioning about that! And sure, Jesse appeared like he was 15!!)

Our youngsters obtained out photograph albums of after they have been little to point out Kierstyn.

After which we spent a very long time all going by means of them collectively!

We couldn’t imagine how a lot little Silas seems to be like Micah does now!

Kierstyn has been doing My Father’s World PreK and loving it. One of many massive encouragements on this curriculum this 12 months is to actually take time to look at photos and see element. She has been actually having fun with it!

Thursdays are Kierstyn’s swimming lesson days — which she additionally actually enjoys!

Micah determined he needed to learn to get up now and he shocked us all by with the ability to maintain a standing place like this for a couple of minutes!

It snowed sooner or later final week briefly and Kierstyn and David have been very enthusiastic about it!

We spend a whole lot of time on the basketball sidelines proper now and I adore it! Plus, it’s a lot simpler with three little ones now that we’ve had months of apply and Kierstyn is a bit of older!

Silas is taking part in on two completely different basketball groups proper now and I really like watching him play his coronary heart out!

Micah’s latest trick is to clap his arms. He desires to point out anybody and everybody that he can do it! 🙂

Our church has this big poster of Goliath up on the wall proper now — and our little David is fascinated with it.

As I watched him preserve toddling over to the poster on Sunday (see second slide), it was such a visible illustration to me of the Biblical David & Goliath story.

God doesn’t want our energy, our stamina, our energy, our fortitude, or our skill. All He wants is a willingness for us to point out up in obedience. To open up our arms, to acknowledge our want earlier than Him, and to step out in religion.

If God chooses you and also you step out in religion and say sure — regardless of how insufficient, inept, or ill-qualified you might really feel — He can equip you to do nice and mighty issues, far past what you could possibly ever dream or think about!

And progress over final week once I solely hit 5 x’s in 5 strains!
