+ the month greeted us with sickness, just like the previous month. praise the Lord, we are all healed up + feeling better.
+ several nights this month, we ventured out to a local lake so the boys could fish. i sat at the table + read a book, journaled, worked a crossword, + sipped an iced chai. it was delightful.
+ we went apple picking.
+ jackson + i went on a mommy/son date. we stopped by the coffee shop + then walked around target. i love these little moments with my boy.

+ in my early days as a believer, i used to be afraid to ask the Lord for deeper faith. i thought it would give Him the green light to make something bad happen or bring suffering. (oh baby christian amber, lol) now, as i have matured in my faith, i see that a deepened faith does not just require hardships; it is also built in the everyday living: how we treat strangers, raising our children, marriage, loving those who are struggling.
+ "hope is not just mere, even if it is meager." rings of power
+ i am a much happier person when it is 70° - 80°. 😂
3 THINGS I LOVED IN SEPTEMBER-
1. a crossword book. it's a simply joy that also stretches my brain. 📖
2. evenings at the lake. while the boys fish, i read + journal + do all the creative things. it is so delightful! ✨
3. nora goes off script. i am not a rom-com book girlie. i find them cheesy + predictable + these days, they are filled with borderline pornographic sex scenes. but i had several people rave about this book, so i gave it a try. i am SO glad i did! what a cute book. one of my favorites of the year. 📚 [affiliate link]
