Friday Favorites: August 15, 2025

Happy Friday!

Thanks for stopping by Kari Miller Blog! Enjoy my favorites from the past couple weeks. Love y’all!

Well it’s been three weeks of an out of commission back and I’m singing this song very, very literally. Gods Got My Back. I am trusting that He will heal me, guide me in the path of healing. Also, Forrest Frank wrote this song when he had a broken back- so the lyrics really hit home. 

I loved this verse when I read it this week. God opened my heart to see this verse differently than before. We’ve all heard “it’s better to give than receive”, and maybe you are like me and always pictured money. Tithing, donations to charity, or buying gifts for others always came to mind. I think those are all good. But Jesus lived this verse out and he wasn’t just passing out money left and right. So, what was Jesus giving? He was serving, he was seeing people, he was listening to others, he was gentle with frustrating people, he was welcoming and kind to people that were usually outcast. Wow- we can do all those things- today. They don’t cost us, we don’t need money. 

I encourage you to pause before walking into work today, pray for a heart that can give and serve someone today in your workplace. Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus. 

So many of you reached out to tell me how much you LOVED the biker shorts/leggings I posted in my Amazon Dump. I went and bought another color of the leggings. They are amazing. If you want some ultra soft, supportive leggings, these are great!

I also bought a new pair of my favorite walking/running shoes. I can’t tell you enough how amazingly comfortable these are! I got them in green this time, but I think my next pair will be these pink ones. They run TTS.

Ummm… this is a no brainer. 

Taylor Swift is on another intelligence level than the rest of us. Just sayin! I’m so pumped for October 3rd!! 

My babies have all had a great start to school. All of their teachers are amazing and welcoming. We are all a bit tired, but in the best way! 

Last weekend was a whirlwind of fun! Benny decided to not do a party with friends for his b-day, but rather a day with family at Six Flags Over Texas. It was hot, but it was the best time!! I’ll try to do a snapshot of our trip soon.

Y’all loved Molly’s Mindful Mornings post– I knew you would. 

Since I didn’t write that post, my favorite one to write was this week’s Motivational Monday, You Are Loved. If you haven’t had a chance to read it, will you please? I honestly think it will be a blessing to you. 

Thanks for hanging out today! Love yall! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
