Monthly Recap

Apr 9

I feel like this month was a very productive, structured month. It felt good to have that before the chaos of a vacation and all the stuff we have going on in the Spring.

Things started out well with me starting on my HRT journey. It’s been exciting to feel so empowered with good information that I can actually take action on!

Also decided to fully go forward with starting my new merch shop- Backlit Apparel Co. Really making plans and starting the process of getting a brand established etc. Made a lot of progress with designs and getting everything set up and it’s feeling good! Making a lot of good progress.

Mekina and Nick came to visit which was so great! We really enjoyed the time with them and it was so neat to see her in her new “mom” era!!

Maddy, Ry and the kids came up early in the month as well and that was fun. Overall just a good, steady month - lots of time with friends, lots of time to walk and read, and get a lot of good work done and it ended with Trav and Jess taking off and us taking off for the cruise! Almost like a perfect ending to one season and the beginning of another!

Studying/Bible verse that impacted you the most?

This month was still in John getting closer and closer to the crucifixion of Jesus all while we were getting closer to Easter in the month. It was amazing how the two overlapped - our study in BSF and Easter. Studying this year has really hit different and I feel like my knowledge is just really deepening. I’m just in awe of God and how he operates and how he loves us so perfectly.

Favorite Memory from the month?

Not really one specific memory, but the fact that I was able to start HRT this month has been amazing. I’ve been suffering for so long and I’m just feeling so grateful for information and resources that has led me to get to this place where I can just feel better!! I honestly thought I was going crazy there for a while and now I’m feeling so much better and its so obvious and it just feels kind of like the start of a new season for me and I’m pumped about it!
