GRATEFUL

by Karmen |

lots going on in our little part of the world
how about you?

the last week of May is by far our busiest week of the year

Cowboy Dan has to have LOTS of camp horses shod and ready for camp
hay fields are READY to be cut
closing out school for me and boys
and taking time to celebrate our FREEDOM with friends and family

Yesterday Daddy-O and I were fishing and discussing how ridiculously blessed we are

Saturday morning my gang and sister banker’s gang went on a trail ride with friends at a local saddle club
ended the day with supper on the porch
Sunday morning and afternoon enjoyed church, family and picnic with Cowboy Dan’s family at the boat club
and the night with more of my crazy family..
singing and celebrating Madi’s graduation
and finally
all day Monday on the lake with sister nurse and her family
fishing, boating, jet skis and SUN
 sounds like FUN to me

thank you Lord for your blessing and goodness
and THANK YOU SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN
of today and days gone by
for YOUR SACRIFICE!

this family is GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in full sun

but I kept showin’ up to pinch dead leaves, water, and talk to her 

(yes,  I talk to my plants 🙄my momma always has-so I do)

This week we are bringing home a blue ribbon from the county fair and “Victoria” will go right back on the carport to serve her daily reminders: 

❤️God is the Master Gardener 
❤️ Don’t give up when things don’t look like they once did
❤️Keep showin’ up to do the work 
❤️Our heavenly rewards will be worth it!

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
ATTENTION DREAMERS: are you ready? have you bee ATTENTION DREAMERS:

are you ready? 

have you been looking for a safe place to whisper your dreams out loud? 

we are keeping it small

so make plans to JOIN ME & some of my bravest friends for the first ever BOLD MOVES retreat ❤️

it’s time ✅

message me for more details
