||His Plans, His Gifts||

I use to be a planner. Then I realized that sometimes letting God's plan unfold even though it takes more trust and can be harder is always better. This week I remembered it was spring break and a trip Kate and I knew we wanted to take happen to work out for both of us!

It's funny how when you leave things up to God's timing the blessings seem to come in abundance. Big Sur was magical and easy. The weather was incredible, the water majestic and the campsite simply unreal!

This season I've consistently found myself undone by the Lord's gifts and surprises. This has been one of my favorites so far.

Happy Friday!

||Whatever's In The Fridge||

This is spaghetti eggplant! If it looks like squid tentacles after you've cut it in half, seasoned it with oil and lemon pepper, put it in the oven for a bit, then took it out and forked it from the skin you nailed it! I also just threw in some cauliflower and goat cheese, because that's all I had in my fridge. Although, you can add whatever sounds good and chances are it'll be bomb!


Happy Tuesday

||The Go Tos||

This season has given me so much more time to get better at cooking! Here are some of my favorite go to meals!!

||Yum||

Pop corn is the best. Especially when you make it with coconut oil, something about it just always hits the spot!

||The Perfect Goulart||

This is my mom. She holds the title of the "perfect Goulart". Although she would never agree with that because she's the very definition of "humble". Here you have this petite eastern European woman who got married at age 19 to an American missionary whom she came back to the states with after having a son and then a year and a half later my twin sister and I. Six months later she fearlessly followed her spouse to Central Asia with two babies and a toddler to be a missionary for Jesus. While dad worked full time to support us by day and then lead bible studies at night mom made the most incredible home made food, took us out, cared for us and much more. Above all though, she prayed.

Gosh I can't even describe just how unreal she is. Humble, beautiful, hard working, selfless, honest, kind and so much more!

Mira Goulart, God was beyond gracious when He gifted you to us as a mom.

||Gifts||

This is Kate. One of the most genuine people I have the privilege of knowing. She's about as real as it gets, she's a joy and a fun person to do life with. I love her a lot and she blesses me more than she'll ever know.

Happy Tuesday
