From my week…
1. Last Sunday was potluck meal day at chapel and we were actually able to take part. Normally, I try to avoid this because Keith has to go to work right after the service and it’s a bit too much for me to handle all four children during a crowded pot luck. But, last Sunday, one of the older ladies followed us as we were heading out and asked me to stay. She said she would help with the children. There was no way I could tell her no, so I stayed and was so blessed in doing so. Everyone was so gracious to us and helpful. I am truly humbled and encouraged by our chapel congregation here at Ft. Lee.
2. I signed the girls up for a ballet and tap dance class on Monday. They are super excited about it. It starts in September and I think this is just a wonderful opportunity for them. It’s the first time they’ve been able to take a class like this and I’m almost as excited as they are!!
3. We did some rearranging last weekend and now we have a home office! We basically did away with the breakfast room because so that we could use our nice dining room table more and turned it into a home office. I love the new set-up!!

I also want to share this week some of my favorite places to visit that I have found recently. These sites are spiritually inspiring, encouraging, and uplifting. They help me to focus as a child of God, as a wife, and as a mom.
