life lately...

Feeling: Grateful. Last time I posted about life lately, I mentioned a big decision my husband and I were facing. Well, praise the Lord, a whole lot of it was answered. In the course of two days, a series of events, like crashing dominoes, directed us to a new and unexpected career path for my husband. Not all of it is very clear right now. There are still some murky waters ahead. But, we're grateful for the answers thus far and excited to keep journeying with God together in our future.

Thinking: Wholesale. Last month, I visited my entrepreneurial parents in Austin to pummel them with questions for my business. Their advice was to explore the side of wholesale business. So, the next week, I purchased a class on wholesale and dove into this other branch of selling. It's a big world with new terminology, but after sinking my teeth into it the past few weeks, I'm making serious headway.

Loving: Henley hoodies. I bought one several months ago and have probably worn it out already. The weather is shifting into warmer days, but I'm still slipping on this lightweight, comfy jacket. I want to buy all the hoodies now.

Trying: A new budget. With the exciting changes in my husband's job also came a shift in our budget. We're viewing it as a challenge: how low can we make our grocery bill? How can we maximize date night with only $20? And, what deals can we grab for a weekend getaway? Money Saving Mom has been my money-saving guide ever since I got married and now more than ever, she's become my trusty aide.

Praying: Four specifics with my business. Ever since last month, when I prayed through specific requests, I expanded the same principle into my business too. There are four items on my May prayer request list that are intentionally for my business and I'm looking forward to seeing how God answers them. Even if nothing happens, I'm still viewing that as an answer nonetheless!

What about you? What are you feeling, thinking, loving, trying and praying?
