Currently {Volume Nine}

Happy September and Happy Labor Day!  With a day filled with cookouts and eating too much, I thought I’d share with you what I’m currently up to.I’d love to hear from you too, so be sure to sound of in the comments and let me know where I can find your own version of “Currently” on the web!

Thinking // There’s a lot of things that are soon to fill my schedule. Each one will bless my heart in one way or another (pottery classes with my mom, Zumba classes in my backyard- weather permitting, and this incredible fall book study on “Let’s All Be Brave” <– Go Sign Up!). No matter the amount of blessings, it still requires a lot of time and my humanness is starting to show as I have already begun doubting that I’ll be able to make it all happen.But I have HOPE. Jesus, you’re my hope. And while I’m standing here with the inability to see how this will play out, You are standing on the other side calling me to walk towards You, like a father coaxes forward his child in the early stages of walking. There is hope and reward if I just keep pressing forward.

Listening to // In my daily driving to and from work, KLOVE has this knack for playing at least one of five songs that I’ve already heard in the 30 minutes I’ve been in the car that day.  I love KLOVE dearly, but sometimes it’s best to turn off the radio and jam to some of the 90s and early 2000s music on my iPod (even if it makes me feel like a dinosaur)!

Watching // The Doctor! “Who”, you say? And I respond, “EXACTLY”! If you haven’t guessed it, I’m about as nerdy as they come, especially when it comes to TV shows from the BBC! My brother effectively turned me into a Whovian around Christmastime last year. It’s been exciting to watch the new regeneration and how Peter Capaldi is taking on the role!

Praying // For clarity and guidance in a few opportunities that have arisen. Praying that I might seek God’s will and desire for me, no matter what I feel on the answer He provides.

Planning // Now that my family has moved my grandma’s possessions from her home since she’s now settled in a nursing home, we’re all desperately trying to find a way to incorporate large pieces of furniture into our already filled homes.

I’m trying to pull out some inspiration from The Nesting Place (available today on Kindle for only $1.99) and utilize some of the items in ways that are creative, but also super functional. Here’s to assembling a home rather than filling a house!

Oh and I’m also trying to remain inspired/motivated to keep at this organization and simplification of my wardrobe and possessions.  I’ve already emptied one closet, with it’s contents spilling out over the bed, floor and desk in the guest room.  It might make me cry, or scream, or want to pull my hair out!?!  Gotta pare down!

Now I’d love to introduce you to one of the lovelies hanging out with me this month!  Make sure you check out her blog and follow her on social media.

Tiffany blogs over at Seeing Sunshine and I asked her to answer a few questions about her little corner of the web.  Here are her answers:Seeing Sunshine is a place where I share my life — my struggles, my joys, my homemaking, my faith and my family — all while reminding myself and my readers to see the sunshine. I believe seeing the sunshine is about being positive and recognizing God’s blessings — even the most minuscule of them or on the hardest days to do so.

My favorite thing about my blog is how God inspires me to write. Especially in times of hardship, it seems my words flow more freely. In trying to encourage others, I find I encourage myself along the way.
