Finally! Got it, read it, returned it

I have waited for so long!

I put a hold on the Libby app when this was released. I was 803 in line. It dwindled down some each day.

Fast forward to a few nights ago, I found this book in target. But I put myself on a book buying ban.

Want to know more about that story? Check it out on my TikTok. Anyways!

As it was in my cart, I received an email. I had a hold, of this book, at our public library. So I picked it up yesterday. Finished it this morning at 3am! No regerts or whatever his tattoo said in that movie. 🤣

I devoured it! 10/10! Loved this.

I returned 7 pairs before I found these. Too tight at the waist. Weird at the ankle. See-through in daylight. These? High-waist stretch. Smooth sculpt fit. And the flare falls exactly how it should. I’m done searching. 🤍 #OnyxBlackFlareLeggings #FlareLeggings #HighWaistLeggi

✨ When God Feels Silent… Read Esther ✨
There are seasons when prayers feel unanswered. When doors don’t open.When God feels quiet. And Esther reminds us: quiet doesn’t mean absent. 🤍 In a time of fear, delay, and uncertainty, God was still moving behind the scenes, in the details, in the “coincidences.” 📖 Courage under pressure.
