March Edition – 4 Somethings to Share

March Edition - 4 Somethings to Share

prov31grace

I’m all about reflection and writing things down; because life flies by so quickly, it is easy to lose track of the joys of everyday life. This year, I thought I’d join Jennifer Goodwin’s link-up at Overflowing with Thankfulness focusing on 4 Somethings each month, sharing what we loved, read, learned and ate.

Loved – God Provided

Recently, my husband received a medical diagnosis that was a little disheartening. The medication needed to offset his illness would not be covered by his insurance, and it would cost us $600 per month.

I’m far enough in my walk with the Lord to not get too upset because I know my God will provide for my needs. And sure enough, He did.

My husband had to make several phone calls including one to the insurance company to discuss alternative plans. (Sometimes, you just must advocate for yourself!)

It was pretty frustrating to him to have to wait several days for an answer; but it was good news when the answer came. Yes, there was an alternative medication. The cost would only be $4 per month.

Already, we are seeing results after less than two weeks.

God is good! I love I can depend on Him, no matter what.

Read – Beth Moore’s Book, All My Knotted-Up Life

I didn’t read but listened to an audible book, Beth Moore’s “All My Knotted Up Life,” and it wrecked me in the best way. Without giving too much away, I just wanted to say the way God wove all the strands of her life to come together at this point in time was beautiful to me. Because I believe and trust He will do that in the life of everyone of His believers.

Learned – A New Mantra

I subscribe to Crystal Twaddell’s blog posts and this week she sent a post, 8 Powerful Words to Shift Your Day, and these words leaped off the page:

I’m making that my mantra as well, but first, let’s examine why today is the best day.

First and foremost, it’s the best day because I’m one day closer to seeing Jesus!

Or another way to put it, I’m one step closer to my destiny. I like that because I still feel there are things to accomplish before seeing Jesus.

It’s the best day because I know so much more today than I ever did – I know the pitfalls to avoid. I know better ways of doing things.

I like myself more than I ever did.

It’s the best day because I feel I love more than I ever did.

There’s less sin in my life. Am I perfect? NO! But I’m maturing and growing and getting less self-centered. (I mean, I do realize for me, fighting self-centeredness is a daily battle.)

I’m making progress.

Ate – Banana Pudding Cookies

I splurged on some Pampered Chef goodies lately and have been experimenting with making cookies.

I tried Banana Pudding Cookies using Jessica’s recipe from the website, Family Cookie Recipes.com

The cookies were yummy and I’ve been requested to make them again … like the very next time I’m cooking!
