March memories – 2024

April 15

Hello, friends!

Now that we're in the middle of April, here's the March review! XD

If there is anything that we ought to get straight, it is how little we are.

Things worth remembering

walks in the pasture
a family birthday celebration
poetry in the Notes app on a late drive home
goat kids
driving with the windows down while snacking on kettle chips
talking books and family history with my grandma
making garlic toast
working dates with a friend
music practice with friends
reading through John leading up to Holy Week
a hike with glorious views

"...unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain."

John 12:24

What I've been reading

The Words We Lost - Nicole Deese

Funny how differently time is prioritized when it's in short supply.

If I enjoyed the romance genre (or if this book didn't happen to be written as a romance...XD) it would likely receive five stars from me. The pacing, the side characters, the plot twists...it's a heavy read, but an endearing one. It handles the topics of grief and loss so well, and I loved the coastal town feels! And now I want a blackberry lemonade slush. XD

At Home in Mitford - Jan Karon

My goodness, the humor in this book! The characters are so real. There are some minor things in it that I'm not a fan of, but in general it's been an easy fun read with all of the small town feels.

"...the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease."

John 3:29-30

From the journal

God, be my strength and smile today! Open my eyes to see what You are doing.

when my soul is weary and pleading for more than a sin-soiled world, there is hope and satiation in Your very presence beside me...

You are the-God-who-sees. You see me pressed beneath the weight of this deadline...and You call Yourself enough within me to bear this weight. You see me faltering before the most miniscule decisions...and I call You my Shepherd, all knowing and sovereign. You see my longing, and I call You all I'll ever need.

"Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour?' But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name."

John 12:27-28a

Jumping back a few weeks...what was memorable in your life this March?
