I wholeheartedly believe that no matter what is happening in your life, there is always something that you can be thankful for... no matter how simple it is.
Here are a few of the things I am loving at the moment...
I'm loving this Russian doll money box that I found while on our big trip down to meet the Kiwi Mummy Bloggers last weekend...
Loving whipping up some fresh lemon cupcakes with lemon curd hidden inside, and a dash of lemon syrup on the side...
Loving spending two amazing days away with my soul mate at Manifest Presence Conference. We haven't actually been away to a conference together since before we had kids (nearly 13 years!!)! A massive thanks to my parents and Symon's parents for their help with our children while we were away!!
While at the conference, loving the worship, hearing the amazing wisdom from speakers like Danny Silk, Bill Johnson and Kim Walker, seeing multitudes of people healed from things like Bell's palsy, metal rods and plates disappear etc. as we all prayed for those around us. Woohoo, God is awesome!!
Loved hanging out with special friends... who also shouted us Star Bucks Coffees (cause our little town of Whangarei ain't that trendy yet).
Here's how you can join in....

ReplyDeletehooray for the time away with the hubs and better yet that it was a time to be refreshed in the Lord.
ReplyDeleteOh, yey for parents/in-laws for looking after your kidlets so you two could get away - sweet photo! Those muffins look so good. Love the professional swipe of syrup, very glam.
ReplyDeleteLove it all!
ReplyDeleteThe conference sounded AMAZING! Kim Walker?! Are you serious?!!! Wow. Seriously.
And being healed from Bells Palsy? Awesome! I've been suffering from Bells Palsy on the left side of my face since 2005 so I'm always pleased to hear stories of God's healing in this area. I'm still waiting & believing for it! :)
I love the Russian Doll money box! How cute is it!?
ReplyDeleteThat cupcakes looks YUMMO!
Yay to a trip away with Hubby sans kids! And to your parents for helping it happen!
Yay for the getaway, sounds like a blast. We went forever without a holiday away from children (like you, never really craved leaving them or desperate to escape them) & last year we went to Europe, it was amazing, 2nd honeymoon 13 years later, i loved it & came home & loved my children even more.

As a fellow friday favorite and loving things blogger can I just tell you that I LOVE THIS POST! Especially the Starbucks -- because I totally and completely and 100% get that. As I sip my coffee right now.
ReplyDeleteWe heard Bill Johnson speak a little over 4 years ago. Amazing. In fact, it even gives me goose bumps to write about it.
Be blessed. Love your heart.
