May Wrap Up Post!!!

Today is my first Wrap-Up post back from the hiatus I took in April, and I am so excited to continue with my wrap-up posts!

Even with all it's highs and lows, May was a good month and I learned a lot! There was many challenges and changes to adjust too, but in the end, my God is so good to me! It's hard during the trials to know He is in control, but when the Son shines through the dark clouds, you catch a glimpse of how God is working for the good.

I hope you enjoy reading about my month!

June goals:

-Write 5,000 in my WIP

-Care for plants in the garden
