Monday Confessions/More Travels!

We once again had a long weekend-Our dear friends Isaac & Rebecca Got hitched on friday,
 Family day on Saturday(back home at my parents & In-laws)
Me & Axel bumming around. He is getting SO big!

 and then a house warming/gender reveal party at my brother & sister in laws, Jackie & Elijah!
I love Malachi's expression!
Jackie & Elijah are great hosts. it was a great time with family & friends. Relaxing & enjoyable! They had appetizers & then apple pie & hot apple cider! My favorite! :) They are having a boy! In total we will have 4 cousins (all boys) on the parker side. Should be interesting! Overall the weekend was good but I'm glad we're home. This traveling stuff is wearing.

Monday Confession. Im not happy to confess this one. 
My bible is starting to collect dust.
I take that back. My Bible has large dust bunnies on it. 
Its become a lovely piece of decoration with my journal on the back of my couch. 
My life to a T --(unfortunately.)

I am so lacking in discipline. Haven't touched that thing in awhile. I could use the excuse of a long pregnancy with lots of sickness & now a colicky baby, but really I'm just not prioritizing. 

So here is to a new monday, a new week, a big hallelujah because God  has such grace & a new attempt to seek him more. I've been reading & re-reading Nehemiah. Trying to dig deeper & learn from his life & dedication to prayer.

What are you reading? Do you have a daily routine? I'd love to hear! 

Lots of blessings.
Love you all <3

    I keep going back to the book of James and 2 timothy... so much wisdom for my young mind. <3 I read out loud a chapter of a book called The Power of a Praying Woman to Abram everyday at his 11am feeding before nap (Yes I am STILL nursing ahh!) But, on the crazy crazy days- I just listen to a lot of sermons, like greg laurie from harvest and have a constant stream of praise music. it's a lot easier to have open ears when taking care of a little one.

So we are getting closer and closer to being settled at the new place, but lets be real.. we have so far to go. My main goal is to try and do dishes, laundry & keep us fed. Unpacking will come in due time. I have a handful of things i want to share with you so lets get to it! 1. I finally got Axels Cloth diapers! I bought them here.  They are bamboo flats & I am using bummis covers as of now! They are working pretty well. the flat is very basic. literally just a large piece of organic cotton/bamboo. I have tried 3 different ways to fold and not quite sure which i like best yet.  Trifold - Newspaper fold- Origami fold. I think I'm going to stick with Newspaper for now. If you're interested in this there are plenty of youtube videos to check out! Cloth diapering is a huge money saver! We have already spent more on disposables in the first 2 months than we did on our cloth diaper supply! On top of that, disposables create so much waste! It is estimated that in the Uni...

I'm Still Learning..

Image
In case you are wondering.. I am still learning.  When we make a choice to do something, to love someone, to take on a new adventure, to commit to a new job or to become a parent, we are learning . It seems nearly impossible to live life's experiences and not be absorbing something at some point.  Moving to Costa Rica has not looked like I thought it would. Not at all really. In some ways that's good and in some ways its been hard. It seems that in every circumstance I am confronted with, God reminds me that this is a learning experience , an opportunity to grow.  I have a lot of thoughts running through my head and not a lot of words being typed out. All in all I am thankful that although sometimes my plans don't look like Gods plans, I am happy knowing I am in good hands.  This is short but i wanted to just share a few thoughts and a few photos.  Lots of Love, Briana
