Coffee Wednesday

Last school year, I started inviting my girl squad over for coffee on Wednesdays. This includes my mom, grandma, aunt, and cousins. The start showing up around 8:30, usually Grammy first, and leave about 11. It’s become one of my most treasured traditions.

Two cousins and I went thrift store shopping after coffee. Not only did I find a bunch of great clothes for back to school and a few shirts for Adrian, I ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in a while and got to chat for a while and catch up. What an unexpected gift.

A few days ago, someone reached out about purchasing Cowgirl, Ava’s horse. Because she’s a medical mystery, and because we have less and less time to ride her, We decides this was probably a good idea. As days went on, our hearts hurt and we realized we weren’t ready to sell. This was the kick in the pants we needed to get serious about a good vet and a better routine for riding. I’m excited to jump back into the horse world.

I’m writing this Thursday morning instead of Wednesday night because I spent last night until my eyes were too heavy to keep open looking at multi family homes, run down motels, and interesting real estate. My company finally has enough money to invest in real estate and I’ve become obsessed with getting the most bang for my buck! We’re hitting milestone after milestone and I just pray we can slow down enough to take it all in.

This morning Bible verse was about Abraham. He had unwavering faith and God blessed him with righteousness. The study asks to meditate on Romans 4:4-5 which says something to the effect of: Those who do work get paid but the payment is an obligation. Those who trust God are credited with righteousness.

It seems so simple and obvious, yet I work to get paid rather that trust in God pretty often. I always trust God, but I also always work for what I want on my own strength. Dear Jesus, help me be more intentional and aware about trusting You all day everyday.

We went out to the stable last night after Pete had already taken a bath. I said “Oh no, Pete! You already took a bath and now you’re all dirty again!” He said, “Welp, my hair is still clean!” And because of the clean hair, we didn’t feel a need for the second bath when we got home. Never mind the muddy feet.
