First of all, thank you for your overwhelmingly encouraging responses to this post last week. I was blown away by the comments you left and the way that many of you connected to the story. I struggled so much with sharing it…because even though I knew I wasn’t the only one to face these feelings and fears, I kept hearing this in my head: no one will understand.
But it has been reaffirmed once again that all of us, every single one of us, have battles we face. Our battles are different and not everyone faces an eating disorder. But no one is exempt from the attacks from the enemy of our heart, but even more importantly, no one is exempt from the rescue from the One Who died to save. No matter what we face or what kind of chains we find ourselves caught up in, there is hope. There is always hope.
So thank you. Thank you for opening up about your own life and battles, and inspiring courage in doing so.
We had a really good weekend, and had such fun having my parents and sister up for a visit! It was a last minute decision for them to come, and my sister managed to sneak up without me knowing it until she was standing in my kitchen. Fun surprise! And even funner one for Ben here…hehe.
I’m feeling like feeling productive this week, and this warm air makes me want to do all kinds of things around the house. I have a lot I need to do in the flowerbeds, since I so sweetly completely ignored them last year. Plus, continuing on with some spring cleaning and organizing. It’s always a good feeling to get things done and checked off that list.

– Strawberry + basil smoothie!

Have a great week!
What about you: does warm weather make you feel inspired and productive?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I think warmer weather means that it's time to clean my windows as soon as the pollen is over!
I hear ya! My windows are slooooowly getting cleaned. It's my worst household chore!
