Happy Labor Day, everybody! We have a fun conversation for y'all this week full of classic rambling including updates on the swans and our volleyball tree, Angela's anniversary trip to the Tetons (and new favorite garment bag), and the new all-in-one skincare we are investigating. We also discuss Kane's Gift and how to come alongside families who are adopting (and how to apply for grants if you are adopting). Then we share our new favorite book "Practicing the Way" by John Mark Comer and why we think it's a must read!

In this episode, we continue the conversation about Fran's big move AND international mission trip in July. Fran updates us on how she is doing and what the Lord is teaching her in this season. We talk about our favorite travel essentials and the importance of getting outside our comfort zones. Fran gives us great questions to ask as we are learning and growing in our relationship with the Lord. Angela recaps Kaylee's mission trip to Kenya and her adventures there. We share what we are loving on television lately, then wrap it all up with beautiful encouragement from scripture. As always, we hope you enjoy this conversation, and we pray it encourages you today!

Psalm 31 (The Message version)

I run to you, God; I run for dear life.
Don’t let me down!
Take me seriously this time!
Get down on my level and listen,
and please—no procrastination!
Your granite cave a hiding place,
your high cliff nest a place of safety.

You’re my cave to hide in,
my cliff to climb.
Be my safe leader,
be my true mountain guide.
Free me from hidden traps;
I want to hide in you.
I’ve put my life in your hands.
You won’t drop me,
you’ll never let me down.

We are back and we have so much catching up to do!! In this episode, we recap our summer including Angela's trip to Boston and our summer book club "Untangle Your Emotions" by Jennie Allen. It's amazing how the Lord was literally preparing Fran for all the major life changes that happened in July, and we talk about all of it! Fran is so honest about what she learned and how to show up for people in hard seasons. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us "We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps." Isnt' that the honest truth?! We are so thankful the Lord is with us through it all. We sure do love y'all and we are so excited to be with you again for another season of rambling through everyday life!
