PrayerWalk Review

When I first received this book, I thought that this book talked about our walk with the Lord. Instead, I found out that the title is very literal in what this book talks about. The whole point of this book was to teach us to talk a literal walk and pray while doing so.

I'm the kind of person that generally likes books that talk about guidelines on how to do/improve things, or a personal story. This book combined the two together and gave a lot of information on Janet's personal prayer walk time.

I loved the idea itself of a prayer walk. I desperately need to get out in God's creation and just "take it all in". Having some time to just think, pray and admire God's handiwork. I have not been able to do anything like this consistently for a very long time having 3 children and being a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom. This book has challenged me to take that time that is so desperately needed and get alone with God. Another thing I have enjoyed about this book is the lessons in the back of the book. There's some really good information there.

What I did not like about this book was that it was so lengthy in her personal walk. If I had went into this book realizing that, I think I would have been better that aspect of it.

All in all this book is a great guide and hits on things the modern American needs to do more of. Exercise, Talk to God and Get Out In Nature!

I had some of my best conversations with God walking dogs while employed at MAS. There really is something about it that just opens you up to God. Happy walking!

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than many online. Two Days Before Su

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids. If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would. For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher. I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags. If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea. I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days. Below are some benefits of each of these teas. Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant. Spearmint is generally a better option. Red Raspberry Leaf Peppermint
