Someday my tortillas will turn out, and maybe I won't make Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal on easy mode 😂 for now, it's tortillas cut into squares with coconut oil and cinnamon/sugar in the oven until toasted 💜

I like doing laundry 🧺

I organize, turn it on, do other stuff, switch it, bring dry to bed to organize again. Step by step, it's methodical.

We hang up shirts, I make a pile, grab hangers and do it in a stack. Easy pesy

But, as I do husbands pile - I pray. Over him. His mind, his body, his faith, that he feels loved, that he hears Lords voice in his decisions.

If I don't, who will?
