Overwhelmed 💛

Wow - dear ones- I am overcome and overwhelmed by your amazing support and encouragement! My heart is uplifted, encouraged and filled by your support and suggestions.  Thank you! I look forward to sharing the future with you all.  

As I was reading comments and support today, I was taken back to a few conversations that have happened along the way.  My very wise friend Brooke Dunbar and I were sharing a summer afternoon under the shade trees in our yard when I think the words "I want to write a blog" fell out of my mouth.  Bless her, she didn’t bat an eye and just said "well I think you should do it then." And that was the beginning of the end of my resistance until the perfect timing of Ashley’s  nudge last week.  

My sister (Hope) and I share the tradition of writing our annual birthday bucket lists.  Hope has been one of the long lasting encouragers and I have no doubt that she’s saying ‘finally, you might actually finish out a year - lol’.  So I say again, here we go. 

Today’s Everyday Adventure echoed with the ordinary sounds and doings of daily life.  As cooks, bakers and encouragers go, my momma sets a gold standard.   She’s always been a ‘from scratch cook’ (worked out well as a missionary in several African countries) but she makes these baking powder biscuits that could put Cracker Barrel out of business.  I tried making them a few weeks ago (with the assistance of the rascals) and felt like we’d gotten close.  But today, we nailed it! We found biscuit perfection people and it was delicious. 

Anyway, I’m excited and encouraged. Let’s keep the conversation open and have some fun! Thanks for adventuring through Life on Lisburn with me!
