I finally have my anxiety in check enough to start hosting at our house! When we looked at this house I immediately envisioned us having people over often. The views are great and we would finally have enough space to fit everyone in comfortably! And then my anxiety spiked again and for two years couldn't even think of having people {besides family!} over without getting almost physically ill. It was super frustrating, but I'm happy to report I'm feeling much better.
I have prayed so much this year that we could bring people into our home to bless them in some small way. We're the back up house for small group {so we've hosted a handful of times}, we get to have our good friends over almost every Wednesday night after piano lessons, and I'm even considering starting a dinner group.
All that to say, I finally invited some girlfriends over for a little happy hour at the hot tub. Only a few were able to make it, but the night was so incredibly life-giving for me. Happy hour ended up lasting almost 5 hours and we're committed to making it a monthly thing, so I would say it's a success! Cheers to carving out the time for things that fill our buckets.
