Random Life Pictures

This was posted on by .

Life is beautiful. It’s amazing. It’s busy. I’ll spill the beans. I’ve been writing. The Lord has been gracious, my family’s help invaluable, and I can’t wait to announce the book in 1-2 weeks.

Yes, you got the hint on the last post. Joseph and Elissa are expecting. Praising the Lord for this new little life. See their family picture below!

Autumn is beautiful. Cloudy days with leaves swirling through the air, hues of orange + red + brown covering the hill side, apple and pumpkin treats, cold mornings, cool evenings, and frost-covered grass.

Watch for a post from Mom tomorrow on her Thanksgiving meal planning tips!

Love,
Sarah

Writing!

Trying out Anna Marie’s Insta Pot!
A whole lot of cuteness in this dog.
Speaking of which…

Apple processing time

Winter time is right around the corner, and Dad takes awesome care of keeping the house warm.
Sketching
Tina got new glasses. Super cute!

“But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law,
which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you,
to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways,
and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him,
and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Joshua 22:5
