Anyone else feel like April snuck in through the back door while we were still greeting January in the foyer?
.
Pretty sure I just said this about March exactly a day ago.
.
Slow down, Time! What’s your rush?!
.
Truth is, time doesn’t wait for us, but faithfully surrenders to the rhythmic path its Maker ordered it to trek.
.
Friend, are you feeling like all the plans you had great hopes for back in January got caught in the undercurrent of Time’s fast pace?
.
Guess what? It’s a fresh month, a fresh quarter, a fresh day full of new mercy & strength.
.
I haven’t incorporated exercise as much this year as I’d like, so I’m setting some new exercise goals for April!
.
What about you, friend? What new thing might you pick up, or pick back up, in April?
.
We’ve got this! Move over January, April has a seat at the Change Table, too!
.
Cheering you on, friend! On April 30th, what will we wish we had done this month? THAT, let’s get up & go do that! 💗🎉

How easy it is to forget that our source is not from within ourselves, nor from our hustle.
.
True life & ministry & purpose is found only when we remain nestled in the Vine.
.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
.
What are you working so hard to do in your own strength today, friend?
.
Let’s lay our striving down, and reconnect to the Source of all we’ve ever really needed—Jesus.

262 ounces of San Marzano tomatoes, 7 pounds of ground beef, 3 bright bell peppers, 2 giant onions, so many garlic cloves, a bucketful of seasoning (ish), a handful of bay leaves, some mushrooms, and plenty of Pecorino Romano later...
.
Spaghetti, anyone? 😊
.
Future me will be so grateful as she puts on a pot of water for pasta, grabs sauce from the freezer, & gently warms this labor of homemade love on the stovetop.
.
Do you do any freezer cooking? I’d love to know what’s stocked in your freezer. Feeling so uninspired in the kitchen lately; would love some fresh ideas! 💗
.
Bon appetit! 😊
