Books, Devos, & Strolls~ Oh, Sweet Roses!

Hello everyone. This past week was a lot of reading, very short & slow strolls, researching and planning for my TBR (To Be Read) Summer Reading list. One book was delivered yesterday! I am so excited. 

 I also picked up some sweet roses to replace the flower bouquet that someone sent me two weeks ago. Those flowers were ready to be recycled (discarded). I found these roses on a clearance rack we have for flowers at our local grocer. I got this dozen for $4.50! They are still in great condition and smell fantastic. 



I have taken a few short strolls this past week. My bloodwork came back this week, so I am still on "resting and light duty" and NO HIKES or LONG WALKS. Sigh!!!!!





It is pretty hot here now as well as humid. So, I have been taking evening strolls. 


Getting my puzzle organized to complete for my Spring Bucket List puzzle. No new to me puzzle. I just chose from a stash I got last summer at a yard swap. It isn't really spring like overall. It will do though.






These are two of the current spiritual growth books I am reading. They are both super great so far. Actually, the Called to Thrive is a short devotional Booklet. 


I am still hammering away with this Bible Study from Daily Grace Co. I started it when I went to the Tiny House on the Goat Farm in March. When I returned, I went to the doctor because I noticed how much I was having female issues and lack of energy on my hikes. I was truly not feeling myself. I just didn't know what was really going on. Then my life shifted. So, I shelved it for a bit. This is my Spring Bible Study I want to finish. I will share my thoughts on it when I complete it. 

I am excited to share my fun "mocktail" or Spring Fun Drink I plan to make soon. I purchased all the ingredients yesterday. I had most of it. I may make them tomorrow for Derrick and I. 

Blessings and Until Next Time,

Chrissy T

I've read the Lies Women Believe. I have always enjoyed Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuths books.
Hang in there. I know all this resting is hard. Thankfully we know God is in charge!

Gosh those roses are beautiful Chrissie - sort of vintagey looking. I am pleased you are getting some gentle walks in - your photos are stunning. I have been reading about how Hot it's been there - also in the UK I believe. Take care of yourself Chrissie. xx
