Share Four Somethings June 2026

I am not sure how we are at the end of June, yet here we are. Blogging has been difficult for me for the past few months, for a variety of reasons, but I am trying really hard to play catch-up on this blog, with most things. I missed this post last month, but I am happy to be back this month. Anyway, our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up for this year are: something we loved, something we are carrying forth from this month to next, something that sustained us, and some thing we are making space for.

My Year in Pictures May 2026

May was another difficult month, but had more bright spots in it than the previous months. I had vertigo for an entire month, which resulted in having to have PT for earcrystals, and an upcoming visit with a neurologist. 

Matt and I celebrated our 27th wedding Anniversary, and took a quick trip to Shipshewana, Indiana. I first saw this idea on Jennifer's blog and thought it was a great idea. The idea is to pick one photo from the month, a photo to highlight the month. Jennifer is using the photo to recap the month and at the end of the year see a recap of the year. 

A common occurrence in Shipshewana, we loved it!

A few nice days in May, so we made it to Lake Wallace.

My Year in Pictures April 2026

April was another difficult month. My mom was in hospice, then required 24-hour care, so I went to Indiana to help. She passed away 4 days after I got there. Then, my sisters and I planned her funeral, and survived the funeral. I first saw this idea on Jennifer's blog and thought it was a great idea.

Share Four Somethings April 2026

April was a difficult month. The beginning of the month found me in Indiana helping with my Mom's care. When I went, I was expecting to be gone for a couple of weeks, we hadn't realized it was Mom's last week. After her passing, we quickly cleaned out her apartment, had her funeral, and I was back home, nine days after I left, but forever changed. I feel like I missed so much, since I was gone for Easter and my son's 21st birthday. Then, I finished April in a vertigo flare-up, making it impossible to get much of anything done. Anyway, our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up for this year are: something we loved, something we are carrying forth from this month to next, something that sustained us, and some thing we are making space for.

Life Update

Hey friends. I once again disappeared, but didn't mean to. I was planning to do my March picture update, and haven't done it yet. Life has been hard lately and I wanted to do a quick-ish update for the few who do follow this blog and check-in. 

Share Four Somethings March 2026

March has been a mixed bag. We are all finally healthy (praise God), but my mom started hospice last week (terminal rare cancer), and we just found out this week another family member has cancer (I can't say more than that at this point). I am grieving my mom even though she is still here (anticipatory grief). Anyway, our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up for this year are: something we loved, something we are carrying forth from this month to next, something that sustained us, and some thing we are making space for.

Always

I am struggling a bit but I resurrected this post and revamped it a little, because I need this reminder today, and maybe you do too?

The things of this world will pass away. 

The people of this world will pass away.

But, one thing will ALWAYS be true: Jesus is with us, ALWAYS.
