hands down….I WON!!!!!

by Karmen |

went thrifting with my bestie yesterday

we LOVE thrifting!

do you?

it’s an adventure!!!
you see all kinds of really interesting stuff
at ridiculously cheap prices
often meet very unique people

and it’s always a treat to see
who will end up
with the “deal of the day”

and even though bestie got a
bible for FREE
that new sells between 50-60$

yesterday…
 the vote.
hands down
unanimous…..

I WON!!
the “deal of the day”

you know what it was?
a prize for Tuck

where we found it?
in the basement (which was a little eerie)
of the sixth stop

the price?
one dollar
and ninety nine cents

know what it was?
a
 “Billy Bass!!!!!!!!!!!!”

you know???

the plastic
mounted bass
that flops and SINGS!!

o me.
the rascals LOVE it!!!
they sang and danced
and sang
and danced some more
I wish you all could have been in the kitchen for the concert last night…
it was PHENOMENAL…

and when Cowboy Dan
hung “Billy”
on the wall
beside Tuck’s bed last night

Tuck said:
“YOU ARE THE BEST MOM E-V-E-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I just smiled.
thinking…

another great adventure
with one of my nearest and dearest friends…

a concert in the kitchen
I wouldn’t have missed for the world..

and the look on Tuck’s face

as he gazed with sheer joy
 as though he had
caught and mounted the bass himself..

these GREAT treasures….
are the things in life
that are
ABSOLUTELY~
priceless!

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
