Pursue Him – Part 1

I love a good sale.

I love the thrill of the chase.
I love finding the perfect outfit, at the best price.

 

This past week, I have had my eye on this skirt from Loft. I searched online, found that it was hiding itself at a local Loft in San Antonio, only to call and be discouraged that they did not have the skirt in stock. So, I did what any rational female would do, I went to the store. You know, just to make sure they really didn’t have it in stock. Once I turned the store upside down looking for it hiding, I gave in and asked the salesperson if they could locate one and have it shipped to me.

 

Yep, crazy I know. I should probably preface that the skirt is ridiculously soft and comfortable. And, I may or may not, have at least 10 different ways to wear it in my head already. Basically, I am really excited about the skirt. However, just because you place an order for it to ship from another store, doesn’t mean it will. After a few phone calls, my skirt still hasn’t been shipped, so I am waiting.

 

What is the point of this story you ask? Pursuit

 

I whole heartedly have been pursuing this skirt from Loft. In the midst of this, I had two thoughts:

 

Do I pursue my husband with such vigor? 
Do I pursue God with such diligence?
 
As I started thinking through these two questions, I realized I have a lot to say. My prayer is that through digging into God’s word, we will see what Godly pursuit is and how we can display that in our marriage. Join me the next 2 Wednesdays, as I discuss what it means/looks like to pursue God and your husband.

    A powerful message! I also went a wild goose chase for a skirt from Loft. And wound up having to order it.

  • #ad Back-to-school gets busy fast, so one thing that helps our family stay prepared is spending a little time each week on lunch and snack prep. 🙌

I always grab the Cheese Heads® Variety Pack at Walmart because it’s something everyone in our family enjoys. I add @frigocheeseheads to lunchboxes and use it as the base for my own grab-and-go snack boxes with pepperoni, nuts and crackers for those extra busy days.

It’s a good source of calcium and protein, plus they’re fun, portable cheese snacks that fuel us with flavor and convenience whether we’re headed to school, work, home or on-the-go.

Have you started back-to-school prep yet?

  • #sponsored Turning a simple pack of ramen soup into an “affordable but elevated” meal is one of my favorite kitchen hacks.🍜🔥

Today I was craving something with a little kick, so I grabbed the StarKist® Tuna Creations® BOLD Jalapeño Pouch to remix my Maruchan ramen bowl. It adds 14g of lean protein, it’s already fully cooked and seasoned, and there’s no draining or extra prep. Just add, mix, and enjoy. 

I also love that StarKist® Tuna Pouches come in 20+ delicious flavors, so you can customize your ramen soup however you’re feeling, from flavorful and bold to light and savory. 

This is such an easy, satisfying meal for busy days and I got everything from Walmart. Which StarKist flavor would you try first?
