Well hellllllo there and happy Friday to you! I slept through my alarm today, so now I feel like I’m scrambling around and all out of sorts. Apparently I need that early morning time even more than I realized! Anyway, today I wanted to share a fun Friday Five with a few random favorites from the week. AND I have a super exciting life update to share with you guys. Eeek!
LIFE UPDATE:
As most of you probably know, my husband has been in law enforcement for 14 years now. It’s been his passion and despite my own fears, God has always kept him safe. He has done exceptionally well in that career, however over the past year and a half, he felt a tugging on his heart to try something new and make a change. So we prayed about it and waited for doors to open. Sure enough, God slowly but surely began to provide a way. And now I’m so excited to share that he has accepted a position with an incredible training company and officially resigned from law enforcement. This new opportunity has been such a blessing for our family because it gives him much more time at home, but he’s still able to pursue his passion–just in a new way. And even though it does feel a bit strange to no longer be a LEO family, we are thrilled and so grateful for this new journey!
RANDOM TIDBITS THIS WEEK
- I ordered this prayer journal from Amazon and I am really enjoying it. It’s has spots for prayer requests, weekly highlights, a gratitude section, and more.
- My workout shoes are on sale!
- Still loving this coral ruffle sweatshirt. See more of my recent Target finds here.
- This Tula three piece bundle is such a great deal. I LOVE this sugar scrub (it’s my favorite exfoliator) and the primer is great, even for no make-up days. Plus it comes with the rose glow brightening eye balm. It’s $72 plus free shipping with my code SARAHJOY. They also just launched this detoxing and toning clay mask–can’t wait to try it!
- Apparently it’s National Lash Week (I had no idea this was a thing!) but HSN is doing a huge sale on tons of amazing mascaras and eye products. Most are 50% off and the code HELLO10 should save another $10! See the sale HERE.
- Rounded up some cozy finds from Aerie:

Hi Sarah
God does work in mysterious ways, and I am so happy for you and your hubby. Being in law enforcement is a sacrifice they make everyday to service the public.All the best!
What relief you must feel! No doubt this is the pinnacle to your move to the country where you and your husband can raise your beautiful children a little to the left of all the crazy things popping up center stage! The ripple effect is powerful and you have kept so many of us grounded with living in the minute in our homes during these unsettling times. (There is program for this called Full Catastrophe Living) So glad you will have a little more of the peace for yourself with which you have so generously showered your followers. Hugs, sweet Sarah!

Congrats to the new career change! My Dad was a State Trooper in IA and it was a very rewarding job but also a stressful job at times, but he never let it show.
You’ll love the change! My husband just retired and the “honey do” list just seems to keep growing!
you’re right Jan, it’s a very rewarding career and also very stressful too. But like you said about your Dad, my husband ever complained. It takes a special kind of person to do that job!
Congratulations to your husband on his new job and to a new beginning for you and your family!
thanks so much Megan!
I am so happy for you and your family with your husbands new career opportunity!!
ah thank you so much Jill!
Congrats to him and thank you for his and your family’s service. It absolutely takes the entire family. My husband was an officer for 12 years and it was so bizarre for his to transition into something in the same field, but off the street. But how exciting for your family! And thank you for sharing your dependence on God, in this post and in several other ways! I love following you!
You’re right Mallory, it is a bizarre transition. Definitely strange at times, but we’re all just so grateful for this next chapter. God is faithful!
I am so happy for your family. God is good 💛💛
Amen to that! Thank you Dawn.
