{Virtual} Coffee Date

Happy Friday!!

I am so excited to sit down with all of you sweet friends and chat over a lovely much needed cup of coffee. It’s been a beautiful week, but all kinds of emotions have been thrown in it. This week left me hungry for truth more than ever. Let’s chat….

If we were having coffee this morning, I would tell you that I am beyond thrilled about my latest Shred, the Soul Shred. God put it on my heart a couple years ago to do something like this and I honestly was so nervous. Well here we are about to have our launch party for our first Soul Shred ever! I have shed many tears through this journal. I can’t wait to get started with everyone. It’s going to be an amazing four weeks together as we share our hearts, minds, struggles, and souls with one another. 

If we were having coffee this morning, I would tell you that I started Ashley Horner’s Pipehitter again (I did it about 6 months ago) and I am love/hating it! It’s intense, lots of GPP style workouts and you all know how much I like that. I just needed something to challenge me a little bit more and her workouts always do. I always feel a “good” sore everyday! I am not following it exactly, but really working on getting my pull up back as well as working on my strength. 

If we were having coffee this morning, I would tell you that I have had some friends go through some really dark stuff these past couple months and it has been so hard to standby and pray. I know God has everything in his hands and he has a plan, but honestly sometimes I just want to know WHY?! Why so much pain, so much hurt, so much loss? I also want to carry some of their grief and pain. But I rest in his truth and thank GOD everyday that this place is not our home. I know he will carry them. 

If we were having coffee this morning, I would tell you that I am excited for Spring! Spring mean’s summer is just around the corner and summer means week night bike rides, BASEBALL, grilling out, beach time, and all things HOT (I LOVE SUMMER). 

If we were having coffee this morning, I would tell you that we are praying about adopting another baby soon. Exciting right?! We loved our experience with the county and couldn’t be more thrilled to move forward soon with another adoption. Nothing is official, still in the praying stages 🙂 

If we were having coffee this morning, I would tell you that I gave up a few things for Lent and I am kinda of sucking at it! But I am thankful for new mercies everyday! I decided to turn off my phone around 8pm every night, no bed time browsing, and being more intensional about getting caught in the social media vortex! Well I have been pretty good about the bed time phone off, but still keep getting sucked in…time to re-group, re-focus and remember why I am trying to disconnect. LENT IS NOT ABOUT ME! 

If we were having coffee this morning, I would tell you that we are headed to HAWAII in APRIL!!!! I couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s our spring break trip out to visit some good friends. I am excited because they have an adopted daughter the same age as RJ and it will be such a sweet time playing together. We never thought we would be those parents that would take our 19 month old baby to Hawaii, but here we are booked and ready for a tropical vacation with our little. She is gonna have a blast! 

If we were having coffee this morning, I would tell you that Refresh Attire is about to LAUNCH three new designs this Spring!!! Exciting right?! We also have new racerbacks and jackets! Can’t wait to share with you all. 

So…how have you all been???!!

    I got my Soul Shred journal yesterday and am excited to get started! I also can’t wait to see the new Refresh Attire designs!

  2. Praying with friends through difficult times is REALLY hard. In my flesh I want to “do something”, as if I have any real control or power. My flesh tells me that praying isn’t doing something, when the Spirit reminds me it’s the best thing I could possibly do.

    Another baby?!?!? I can barely handle RJ’s cuteness ;-)! You three are going to love Hawaii – whichever island you visit.

    I’m doing “okay”. I am really looking forward to the Soul Shred. That’s why I visited the blog this morning. In hopes that I’d read a “paper journals have been mailed” message :-). I’m super excited to see what God does with and through this Shred!!!

    Second, my sister-in-law told me about the Pipehitter program. I’m going to look into that one once I finish my current fitness program.

    Are you guys coming to Oahu? We live on the North Shore — it’s nice to do a rental house and hang by the beach! Waikiki gets to be so crazy! Enjoy!

  5. That’s exciting about adopting and Hawaii!!! I’m looking forward to spring as well!
