God believed in us having rest so much that He made it one of his ten commandments.
This is the day that I look around and say, “Yes, God, it’s good. This is so good.”
While we’re tempted to keep pushing and growing and filling up our time and our home with stuff and obligations to stay afloat, he tells us to trust Him. Our peace depends on our trust in Him. And without any white space, we don’t have peace.
This week, I felt a little defeated when my laptop quit working…because I still have so much I’m learning that I want to share. I had a few things come up that added more to my to-do list that I’m been working so hard to cut back to basics.
But there was so much good. Here’s a little Insta-recap of the past week. (If you’re not following me on Instagram, you probably haven’t seen all of these yet.)
Our house got cabinets! Seriously. This was big stuff.
We had the opportunity to go on a really fun play date to the farm with pumpkins and animals and tractors and a hot dog roast. So much fun!
My precious husband sent me flowers.
We celebrated a sweet little friend’s second birthday.
I had a long FaceTime conversation with one of my best friends, Catherine.
Hudson and I made some fun Moon Pie Owls together.
We went to the South Carolina State Fair with some good friends and their kids, and everyone had a blast
Todd and Hudson got to play golf with some friends today.
We’ve had great family time together and we’ve been able to invest in other friends this week, as well.
All the white space has been so good. It hasn’t been used for productivity, but it’s been used for relationships.
What were the best things about your week this week?
Looks like ya’ll had a great week. My kiddos were on Fall Break, so we took a road trip to Branson, MO. It was a lot of fun.
We were on fall break this week, so we enjoyed a trip out of town for some much needed breathing room and homemade food
So glad you had a great week, full of fun …. sometimes it’s a true blessing when a piece of technology calls it quits on us for a few days! Always frustrating at first, but sometimes so nice to not even have the option to get on the computer!!!
AND FRIEND, the moonpie owls?! We need those in our life asap! Wish we lived closer!
Hi Erin-
I’m visiting from Texas, and my fall favorite is pulling out boots with leggings/tights.
Found your blog through Mix and Match mama…pinned it as one of my favorites.
Hi! I found your site through the giveaway. I am always looking for a fun blog to read, so I am excited to check yours out. I love, love fall the best! One of my new favorite things to do is planning and hosting a fall square dance fundraiser with a caramel apple and hot dog bar.
