Happy Fall

Hey Y'all!

I am so sorry it has been awhile since my last post. I have been super busy with school and just life in general. 

Happy First Week of Fall! One of my favorite times of year is fall because all of the pretty colors come out, good smells are all over the place, and I finally get to wear sweatshirts. The smell of spice and the cool weather makes me want to curl up in a cozy chair with a good book and a yummy drink. I love this time of year because everyone is in a friendly mood and it is a good time to look over the past year at what the Lord has blessed me with. This year he has blessed me witha few fun classes in school, opportunities to go riding/competing, and good friends. What are three things you are thankful for? What do you like about fall? 

Love Y'all Bunches!

A Day in My Life

Hey There! 

I figured that for today's post I would talk about my little business I have. I refinish furniture. It is relatively simple and it is a good way to work of stress and just relax. Basically, I look on Facebook Marketplace or at Goodwill and find solid pieces that I want to refinish. I take them home to my lovely workspace (the garage) and start the process. I remove the hardware, sand any rough spots, paint the piece, stain the top, and paint the hardware. That is the general process. Some pieces require a little more TLC before they are ready to sell but that is the general idea. Here are some pieces I have done. All of these sold from $100 to $200 a piece. 

Have a blessed rest of your week! 

Love,

Grace ❤

Gentle and Lowly

Hey There! 

For birthday a few months ago I got an amazing book. To be honest I just started reading it but it is one of the best books I have read in awhile. It is Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. 

This book looks at Christ's heart for sinners. It is absolutely amazing. I have read through the first chapter so far and have enjoyed doing a study alongside this. It is easy to understand and if you are not a huge fan of reading, this book is pretty short and interesting. I love how in depth he goes in really looking at Christ's attitude and heart toward sinners. Definitely a great book so far! 

Have a blessed rest of your week! 

Love,

Trip to Washington

 Hey There! 

I know it has been awhile since my last post so I am going to try to catch y'all up to date. 

The week following Father's day most of my family made a trip up to Washington for a week. It was absolutely Washington! I got to fly for the first time, I saw family, I went to a little German town in the mountains, I went to the beach, and I got to see the area where I spent the first half of my life. It was awesome! If I had to choose my favorite part of the trip it would have been seeing my FAVORITE Uncle and cousin.  Here are a few pictures. Enjoy! 

Flying from DFW to SEATAC:

Some yummy DutchBros for a caffeine boost:

On our drive to Leavenworth in the mountains:

And this little dude at Ocean Shores:

And last buy not least this beautiful beach sunset and the campfire we made ❤ :

I hope yall are having an amazing week! Thank you for reading! 

With Love in Christ,

To My Big Bro

 Hey!

I am SO SORRY! I totally forgot that I haven't posted in a long time. Hmmm... So many things I could write about.. Well let's go with something that has been on my mind a lot recently.

Next week my oldest youngest brother is graduating from high school. (In other words my older brother that is closest to my age) This has been hard for me because he has been my best buddy for as long as I can remember. When I was in the middle school group at church I was anxious to get into the high school group where he was waiting. If I was doing something that I was scared to do Drew was (and still is) always there to go before me and to encourage me. I know that he isn't really going anywhere but it is still hard that he is moving on with his life and I am still trying to figure life out. 

He is moving on, getting a job, and trying to figure out what path he wants to follow. I am so proud that my big bro is moving on to the next phase of his life and I pray that he continues to grow in the godly handsome young man that he has already started to become. Whenever I have struggled in the past he was always there to encourage me and help me, so I hope that as he starts to step into his life that I can be an encouragement to him as he has been to me. I love ya big bro and good luck with your new job and responsibilities!

Again, I know that I am making this sound like he is dying or some horrible thing but I really will miss having him to help with me with my math and having him there when I want company at church. :)

Love ya, Bro! 

Have a good week, my peeps and I promise I shall return! 

Love,

Grace
