Morning Essential

Over the past year, green tea has become my morning go-to drink. I get into the office and want something warm, and this always seems to warm me up and wake me up. I also genuinely think it has helped me not get sick, considering the antioxidants that green tea provides. My favorite "flavors" right now are Bigelow's mint green tea and pomegranate green tea. And when I'm feeling really fancy, I buy the tin of Bentley's tea- and I'll be honest, its mainly for the tin :). The tea does taste really good though. Pomegranate green tea for me and Will loves the mango green tea. So, if you need a good new morning drink, you should try it...

On another note, thank you so much for the encouraging words regarding my last post. I must admit, "announcing" the news of a new venture made me feel exposed and honestly scared, but the encouragement you have given me has been wonderful. I am learning the value of vulnerability in certain situations and have really felt God working in my life through everything. This whole process of pursuing my desires is facing me to force all of my insecurities, so while I know it is a huge growing process to be thankful for, the roller coaster ride gets a little wearing at times. I know I am being refined and am trying to continue to surrender to God's direction, while being proactive at the same time- sort of hard to figure out the balance at times.

With that said, I truly am grateful for every kind word. I have seen how much a random word of encouragment and kindness can make a difference. I hope to be able to encourage others in the same way y'all have done for me! Your words have really been a blessing!
