Remembering Mandy Kelly from Worshipful Living

Tuesday, March 21, started like any other day around our house. I got the kids off to school and came home to do some work. Around 9:30 a member of our Facebook Mastermind Group (a group of about 10 Christian women bloggers that support one another through blogging and life) posted that she'd seen some chatter on Mandy's Facebook profile and wanted to see how we could pray for her.

Jen Hatmaker’s “7” – Intro. & Chapter One {Bloom Book Club}

I was so excited on Tuesday when I checked FedEx and it looked like my book would arrive a day early! :) I laid Moriah down for a nap, sat down to catch up on emails as the dogs laid at my feet.
