Peaches, Sharks...and a fishing trip legacy....

Colt wanted to share some thoughts... join us for a few short episodes of "Mandy & Colt"

We hope you're having a great day!

How's it going for you? Are you being intentional to care for your body along with me?

Goal 3 is to plan a weekly workout routine. Walking....lots of walking! That's my commitment right now. Doing better with sleep. Nutrition...eh. This is a spot I need to put more focus and planning..... BUT... my kitchen is currently torn out!! :). A hardcore trainer may not think I'm setting a 'workout routine' but I'm loving all the walking I'm doing and I had to wake up to how much I was sitting and what it's doing to my body.

How about you??

-How do you feel?

-What's been fun?

-What's encouraging you?

Oh....and we got a boxer puppy! Talk about AdoredChaos!!!

Thanks for listening friends! I love having you alongside me on this journey!

You've got this! We've got this!! Let's go friends!!!

Matthew 11:28

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Thank. You. Jesus!

You'll notice (maybe) that this was released out of order... I needed some time to decide if I wanted to publish this one. But here it is.... I'm being a bit more raw & vulnerable on this episode. If even 1 person listens, I hope it encourages you to be vulnerable when you are struggling too. Sprinkle things you love into your week and believe the truths of who GOD says you are and how he wants you to live in the world. It's a recipe for joy!

James 1:22

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
