Coffee in the Car & Podcast #2

by Karmen |

Coffee in the car isn’t really a stretch but coffee in the car while recording a podcast is something I’ve never tried before.

 

This morning was one of those mornings where my soul woke me up. It pounded at me until eyes were opened, causing my heart to flip until my feet hit the floor.

 

I grabbed my Bible, coffee and phone and headed for the door.

 

I love trying new things.

 

Today’s new thing was to record a podcast in the car over coffee.

Seriously, it was so much fun and I was so relaxed that just may become the name of the podcast and my car could totally become a recording studio. Crazier things have happened, surely. We shall see.

 

But before you give a listen a quick recap & update:

 

To ALL of you precious ones who after reading my last post, “Momma I saw the pigs hatch..”

big eyes

have sent me your awkward, share-your-birthing- stories-with-you-children…..THANK YOU! I have laughed myself silly over your stories. No joke. Y’all are hilariously clever.

 

Next, LOCALS-THANK YOU for shopping small and shopping local with us this spring at Fort Payne Feed & Garden. THANK YOU for allowing our store to supply your flowers, fertilizers and garden-goodies. To know we are a part of lovelying-up your yards and porches is my delight. (lovelying=yes, I make up words. Surely you’ve noticed that by now.) And to those of you who have started buying your dog food with us THANK YOU a million thank yous! Feed is what sustains our little store throughout the year. We are humbled and grateful for your patronage.

 

Next, the quilt.

 

If you were at the First United Methodist Fundraiser Friday night you saw the masterpiece my precious mother has handcrafted to be given away here on the blog.

 

IF YOU have not, tune in tomorrow here on the blog for all the divvy on how this precious gem is to be given away.

 

Finally, the podcast.

    Thank you… I needed to be encouraged this morning. To keep on keeping on.
    To love those who are hard to love.

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
J and Mr John D Israel simple pure delightful m J and Mr John D Israel

delightful memories
