thirsty thursday....

i never really participated in the 'typical' thirsty thursday......

but today......

breakfast?

caribou.

lunch?

soup.

dinner?

bubble tea.


It was pretty great.

But not because it's Thursday.

Not because I had liquids for most of my meals today {okay I did have a tortilla with beans, meat and lettuce for dinner}

But it was just a great day.


This morning was fun - but I'll talk about that later. For now - it's a secret.

But then at noon I got to hang out with Meg. Meg is amazing. Not only because she just had a birthday too - but for so many more reasons than that. You should check out her blog.

She has been a wonderful support for me these past few months. Meg has been through far more than I can fathom - and her trust in God, His goodness and His plan never ceases to amaze me.

I typically keep up with Meg through her blog, so it was very refreshing to just sit and chat with her. It was such a blessing to be able to ask her questions that have weighed pretty heavy on my heart - especially since the miscarriage.

One reason why I chose to put my story out there for people to read is because I just never want anyone to feel alone going through a miscarriage. We aren't built to deal with this on our own {at least I certainly am not} - so I hope to be there for women as others have been for me.

Like Meg has been.

Words cannot begin to express my heart for what their family has been through these last 10 months - especially after our own loss in August - and just knowing that she is strong enough to go through what she has and be there for other women without question - amazes me.


After spending good time with Meg, I headed off to meet Jordan. Jordan is a woman from Hope that I have the pleasure of meeting with : ) This was our first time hanging out - and I am certainly excited to get to know her more.


This is a way I can feel so refreshed - yeah the Caribou, soup and Bubble Tea was great - but it's having women like Meg in my life that helps renew my soul and see God more clearly when I can't think straight. It's having others there to dialogue with and process whatever comes at us in life - which also makes the valleys easier to navigate.

It's the many women who pour into my life and help me see Christ in new ways; which draws me closer to Him, other women and allowing me to be a better wife and someday: mother.

It's thirst-quenching time with people, like today, that continually reminds me how good God is - even when this valley feels deeper than the one before it.
