Random Things on a Random Tuesday: August 26, 2025

When you can’t focus on one thing to blog about, you just invite a new blog series… “Random Things on a Random Tuesday.”

It is exactly how it sounds. I will just share a bunch of random things today. Basically whatever popped into my head at the time of typing this.

I am excited about cooler temps. Kansas has had a big drop in temps over the last few days. It has been amazing, especially for my boys and their football practices. Can anyone else smell the pumpkin candles burning? It’ll be here before we know it.

Be kind and full of grace. You never know what someone else is going through. So many of us carry burdens, anxiety, and are fighting battles that are not visible to those around us. Treat everyone with kindness. Give yourself and others grace. 

My back is feeling much better. It is not back to 100%, but I am now functioning well without pain relievers. I am still not lifting, but I am starting to do some body weight and bands. So, I am getting there. I will say taking 4 weeks off of lifting, I have lost some muscle. I am starting to plan out some health and wellness goals for September. I am ready to feel strong again. Anyone interested in knowing those health and wellness goals? Let me know in the comments.

I am getting the itch to start running again. I haven’t ran consistently for a couple years now, but since I threw my back out, I have been daydreaming about running again. So, maybe that will be a part of my September goals… we will see!

I have mapped out blog post ideas through September and October, however I have a handful of days that don’t have a set topic to blog about. Does anyone have an idea of what I should blog about? Do you want a ‘day in the life’? Or a snapshot into a certain area of my life? Encouragement type posts? Or…. better yet, anyone want to guest write on the blog? Share something that God has on your heart with KMB readers? Leave a comment or send me an email at [email protected].

Are you in the middle of a big decision in your life that has to be made? A problem at work that seems impossible to solve? Or is something inside your family that you can’t control or fix? I read Matthew 6:33 the other day, and I think it might help you.

FIRST- seek out the kingdom of God! Why do I always try and fix it, get all upset about things, get frustrated with everyone, and make a big mess BEFORE seeking God. So, today, with whatever problem or situation you are facing, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then, they will be added to you! 

I think I am going to wrap up  my first Random Things on a Tuesday post with that. Thanks for bearing with me and my brain today. Y’all are precious to me.
