Photo Friday!

We turned the tables at our latest family dinner... Mom and Dad's kitchen table top flips to become a poker table, in "America's brightest orange," naturally! =)


Mom made taco salad for our dinner, and I made Pioneer Woman apple dumplings for dessert!

After dinner, I went to Rachael's to see Jaceman's new fish tank, a riveting live show... I love that he's so into it! lol   He rode with me on the way there to talk about Cobra Kai (one of his fav shows ever, and I've finally made it to season 6!)

He takes good care of the tank and watches the fish with great interest!

Kristin and I walked four miles and then split a pizza at Hideaway on Wednesday - she got a new car on Monday, so we celebrated that delightful news!!  This pic makes me very happy! lol

I had a job interview with Family & Children's Services on Wednesday morning in Tulsa, then two Zoom interviews for the PhD program today... a 2-hour group interview in the morning, then a 30-minute individual interview from 2:15-2:45.  Whatever happens moving forward, I can sincerely say that I gave it my best effort.  I was able to stay calm and centered and speak with more composure and eloquence than I typically feel during interviews, and I'm grateful for God's grace in that!

My short list of potential topics that might hold my interest through a 3-year research and writing project!

Lent is here, and Easter is coming.  I feel that in more ways than one.  I am gradually processing ambiguous losses, potential moves, big future questions, positive identity shifts, etc.  It's best that I keep some of the processing offline.  But I will say two verses that are speaking to me in this season are Judges 6:14 where God tells Gideon, "Go in the strength you have...  Am I not sending you?"  And Psalm 46:10 -- "Be still and know that I am God."

Centering my heart in that truth today!
Happy Friday, and have a great weekend ahead!!
