Happy Monday Friends!
What an amazing past week we had around here! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. With all the hustle and bustle I am finding time to be still and focus on what the true meaning of the season is! Thanks to She Reads Truth Study, I’m focusing on the Advent!
In case you don’t know what She Reads Truth is all about, you can download the YouVersion App on your iPhone and search for the She Reads Truth Plan and look up Advent or you can do it online at http://shereadstruth.com. I have done several of their plans and loved each one of them! #SheReadsTruth is women reading His truth together. #SheReadsTruth defined this small, growing community perfectly. You will be challenged. You will grow in His Word… I promise.
This weekend I also had a Girls-Night-In with some of my favorite ladies! This is the perfect way to kick of the Holiday season!
Because I kept talking about the Cocoritas in Maui, I made them by request! We all brought healthy appetizers and a few treats to share. Recipe for the Cocorita to come!
We made sure to come dressed in our PJ’s and watched the Holiday Inn! it’s my favorite holiday movie, lots of laughter was had!
We also did a bit of crafting and painted our nails, sparkles!
