I am currently… getting: OUTSIDE! Camping season has begun! going: to some of our favorite campgrounds. We camped at the McDowell Nature Preserve near Charlotte, North Carolina last month, and we’re planning to camp at the FDR State Park in West Georgia in a few weeks. planning: meals for our camping trips. Last month I prepped everything for fajitas and then cooked it up real quick one night for dinner with friends. (Our first time camping with friends, and it…
Hey, guys! Thank you for stopping by today! If you’re hopping over from Dani at Family.Love.Inspiration, welcome! I’m going to keep my post sweet (well, savory) and simple so you can keep moving and see MORE recipes! I wanted to use this recipe swap as a good excuse to try something new, so I chose Brie & Cheddar, Apple, Beer Soup with Cinnamon Pecan Oat Crumble. (Whew! That’s a mouthful!) Half Baked Harvest (Tieghan Gerard), has a BEAUTIFUL website with…
Hooray for the Currently linkup! Anne suggests a list of prompts each month and invites us to respond by sharing what we’re CURRENTLY up to. Here’s what *I* am CURRENTLY borrowing, buying, planning, prepping, and reading! I’m eager to read how my bloggy friends respond! borrowing: my husband’s sweatpants now that we’re having slightly cooler temperatures. Perhaps I should get some of my own? He’d probably appreciate that. I should do that before our upcoming camping trip. Can you recommend…
I have to tell you, the area around the Sea of Galilee grabbed my soul in the very best way! It affected me emotionally more than anywhere else we went. I think it was because so much of that area really hasn’t changed much since Jesus lived and taught there. We visited the Mount of Beatitudes on a beautiful, sunny day. It’s on the northwest corner of the Sea of Galilee. You could just SEE the crowds of people sitting…
AUTUMN IS HEEEEEEERE!!!! Hooray! High temperatures here in Savannah, Georgia are staying under 90 degrees, so that’s a sure sign of autumn! We’ll take it! And we’ll dream of cooler days to come! I’m linking up with Leslie to share my list of autumn adventures! Here’s what I hope to do during September, October, and November: Give blood: I scheduled an appointment for last month, but the site had to close early. Later this week I’ll go to my local…
On our first day of sightseeing, we visited Caesarea (by the Mediterranean Sea, not Caesarea Phillipi). This area was a total surprise to me! I mentioned before that I had never really thought much about Israel at all, and even with allllll that my kids and I learned about the Roman Empire during our years of homeschooling, I had never thought about Israel having Roman ruins. I’m telling you, this trip took a lot of things that I’ve learned over…
Our intro to Israeli food was amazing! Check out the breakfast and dinner buffets at Herod’s hotel in Herzliya, Israel.
This whole trip came about REALLY quickly. I had never wanted to go to “The Holy Land.” I figured I could worship Jesus from here, no problem. Here’s how God put all this in motion! I’ve been doing The Bible Recap this year. This Bible reading plan and podcast is written by Tara-Leigh Cobble, the founder and CEO of D-Group, a discipleship ministry. Tara-Leigh and her team went to Israel earlier this year for a month (with special permission from…
I’m sharing what I’m CURRENTLY up to following prompts given by Anne at In Residence. September’s prompts are: beginning, ending, loving, picking, and posting. Let’s do this!!! I am CURRENTLY… beginning: my Christmas shopping. I loving buying gifts for family and friends, and I love having it wrapped up (no pun intended!) by Thanksgiving so I can rest, enjoy the whole season, and focus on Advent. Between all that and the ongoing shipping delays we’re dealing with, autumn shopping seems…
