High 5 for Friday

Here are a few great things about my week {there were a lot - it was a full week!)
1. I have been reading the book of Ephesians, just into the first few chapters.  It is really wonderful and I am noticing God's scandalous grace more & more!

2. This morning I finished this book - The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I have read it through twice, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. It is a great read, full of good character development and historical content. Book review coming soon!

 3. I made that chocolate cake again. It was delicious, as always. The recipe can be found here.
4. I also had the opportunity to teach Outfitters (our kids bible study) at church. This is something I have been doing since probably my junior year of high school. It was bittersweet thinking that it is one of the last times I might teach for a while! While prepping the lesson I felt pretty nervous and unsettled. But then I was encouraged by Isaiah 55 - "my word shall not return to me empty, but shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it". Even when I might fail, God's Word will always succeed!

5. Last but not least, I successfully put in my contacts (with help) for the first time! If you were wondering what I look like sans spectacles, see below.

 

And that's that. Thanks for reading! What's been good about your week?
