When he heard me complain that the kids rarely all liked my dinners, M said: “You always cook with love and I can taste it when I put my chompers in it.”
 Tuesday was bitterly cold for us in Virginia, so much so, that school was cancelled!  Temperatures reached as low as 5 degrees with the wind chill into negative digits.  
 I’m on track for my #40milesinjanuary with a current total of about 12 miles.  Exclusively walking is an adjustment for me and a bit more of a time commitment, but I’m enjoying it.  I walked on the treadmill and found it the perfect opportunity to read!  I’m flying through Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.  Excellent so far.
 
I loved the imagery from this verse in this week’s Bible readings: “The valiant one whose steps are guided by the Lord, who will delight in his way, May stumble, but he will never fall, for the Lord holds his hand.” -Psalm 37:23-24 (emphasis mine)
 Plans for the weekend: a trip to Target for frames, prepping for a visit from the in-laws next weekend, and preparing for the Big White Farmhouse shop launch on Monday!  
 See you next week, friends!
