How are you??! I have missed you! Our family was hit hard with the flu this month. Last week I spent 4 days completely in bed. Ugh!
(Although waking up to notes from my family (like the one shown above) sure made being sick a little easier.)
We’ve also had the joy of 5 of our 6 family members being infected with lice. What a nightmare!
But, the good news…the lice is finally, completely gone!! Yippee!! My family is healthy. I am healthy. Woo Hoo!! I feel like the Lord has restored me ~ physically, emotionally, and spiritually!! My *joy* is back!! THANK YOU, my friends, for praying me through! π
Here’s a super quick update of what we’ve been up to….
***We had a super fun St. Patrick’s Day Celebration on Thursday. Here’s a self-portrait to capture my Irish roots π
And a super fun picture of my husband John. He went to the store real quick, and this is what he came home wearing. I think my celebrating is rubbing off on him. What do you think??
Last night we had a great time at Bible Study. I am so blessed to journey with the most amazing, beautiful, authentic women on Monday nights! π
My teaching was based on Rev 3:18 ~ Gold Refined in the Fire. I encouraged the women to all wear their best GOLDen outfits. Here are Kristy & Erica ~ two dearly loved gals in their GOLD . What fun! π
I loved, loved, loved teaching on the *riches* that are ours in Christ! How I long to see us all tap into the spiritual resources that are available as dearly loved daughters of the Lord Most High! π No more cold oatmeal for us, right Monday night friends?! π
Next week I’ll be teaching on the robe of righteousness…..can’t wait! π
And lastly….during our Spring-like weather here in Michigan last week, my daughters and I made a super long hopscotch outside of our house. I tried to capture a picture of it for you….
Our hopscotch went all the way from 1 to 77! At the end, I wrote, “Woo Hoo! You made it! Please sign your name“. Our hope was to share our spring-time joy, and have other neighbors join in on the fun! π
Isn’t that so fun?! I just love sharing my *joy* with others. It’s Jesus, friends, it’s Jesus! π

So glad you are feeling better and that the lice have made their exit. I love the hopscotch and how it drew neighbors together. What a fun thing!!Blessings to you.
What an awesome little story. I must admit, I do not know all of my neighbors. I guess if we had kids it might be a different story. Glad all are well and healthy in your home! I'll continue to pray that it stays that way for awhile.
Glad y'all are healthy again! I hated it when my daughter got lice – mainly because I'd get it too and I have some thick, curly hair! Argh! One thing we found is actually Fairy Tales Shampoo that helps prevent lice — so if there's a chance that your kids might be around other kids that have it, it was well worth it to get this! I used it on me and my daughter!! http://www.fairytaleshaircare.com/?gclid=CJ3O9cn84qcCFeM85QodeHNC_w
