Settle.

Posted on January 1, 2015 by Mrs Gray / 2 Comments

When I first shared my word for 2015 with Mr. Gray, it gave him pause. I don’t blame him. It’s a strange word to choose to strive for: settle. It...

Gone.

🎶 I want a Sunday kind of love. 🎶 For many 🎶 I want a Sunday kind of love. 🎶

For many years, I thought he wasn’t my best friend. I thought he fit in a different role because he was my husband. And, while hanging with him is certainly different than a girl hang, the last year has certainly changed my outlook on his best friend-ranking.

Part of our story is that God has asked us to be good stewards of what we have. We discovered a love of kayaking a few weeks ago and then made the best of finding some to meet our needs. 

We snagged some kayaks from our favorite outfitter and set out for our favorite river spot. Adventuring at its finest. (Several years ago that was my word for the year.) 

We had a blast, found a great spot, and learned a few lessons. 

Here’s to learning as you go!
