Currently : October



Anticipating...There is some possible change happening in my life. I'm not gonna share it yet because it's not definite, but prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Cooking...I've been trying some new recipes, but I'm really wanting to try some pumpkin themed everything. I got me some pumpkin at the store! Any ideas what to do with it? I'm thinking a dessert.
Enjoying...This little piece of art...
Feeling...Pretty good. I've got myself a cup of coffee and Spotify is going. It's gonna be a good day.
Learning...To be content. This is something I constantly struggle with...learning that I am enough and that I have enough isn't easy!
Listening...Still jamming to Brand New by Ben Rector. Also discovered The Roosevelts this month. Check out these two songs if you want. Paris is my fav Ben Rector song (for now...it changes every week) and I'm loving Everybody Knows by The Roosevelts.


Reading...Eat with Joy: Redeeming God's Gift of Food by Rachel Marie Stone
Wanting...The weather to cool down just a tad...
Watching...Ahem...I've gotten addicted to iZombie. And also America's Test Kitchen.

What are you into this October?

Goals | October 2015


Alright, so I kinda already feel like I'm failing because it's the 8th of the month and I'm just now sharing my goals...but alas, I'm still gonna go for 'em. So, I'm linking up with my dear friend, Hannah, for this post!

2. Continue daily Bible reading.
