I come at this post messy. And quite frankly, ignorant to so many of the deep rooted issues at play here. As a white woman living in America, I feel completely unqualified to speak as if I truly know anything about the issues of racial injustice... But I do know something about God, and as a member of the body of Christ we are called to do better.
Because God loves. And repeatedly tells us to love. Love covers, it saves, it heals. Love thy neighbor. Period. Regardless of race, or ethnicity, economic status, political affiliation. Love.
And stand. Stand up for the poor, the oppressed, the alien, the widow, the orphan. Do justice and righteousness. I am standing with you. Ready to listen. Ready to act. Ready to make change.
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:18

Spent the day yesterday celebrating Ainsley. And she summed it up the best when she said with wide eyes:

“I can’t believe how much time as flown. I am so old. It all happened so fast!”

The time goes fast, dear child, and I am so very grateful to spend it with you💞🎂🎉 .

New sunnies; no sun ☀️ 😎 🌧 If you look really closely though, you can see the pool deck in the reflection...I’ll just be over here dreaming of pools days on this gray rainy day. .

I never had a clear feeling of what exactly I want

I never had a clear feeling of what exactly I wanted to do professionally as I was growing up. I changed my major and my mind repeatedly. But not once in my life did I ever question that I wanted to be a mom. I know one thing is for sure, I was made to do this. And I am so very grateful to be their mom.
Hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day.

Truth? If I’m completely honest, I don’t know

Truth? If I’m completely honest, I don’t know that I’ve done all that much praising lately. If I really examine my words and thoughts, I would have to admit that complaining has flowed much more freely than praise in the last week.⠀
⠀
I’ve hit that quarantine wall. ⠀
⠀
I’ve noticed my focus narrowing in on the negative. Feeling the tension. Highlighting the divide. Unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel.⠀
⠀
But, friends, the light is up. Not down with my head hung low. The light is the promise that in this world there WILL BE trouble, but, gah!!! We get to TAKE HEART because our God has overcome the world. ⠀
⠀
So I will praise Him because I have breath, regardless of current circumstance. I will praise Him because of His promises, despite my current mood. I will praise Him because of His sacrifice, mercy, and love. And because when we change our focus toward His light, everything changes. ⠀
⠀
Where’s your focus? What have you been doing to keep your eyes up?✨

This is my wedding verse paired with a map and coo

This is my wedding verse paired with a map and coordinates of the county where we’ve chosen to raise our kids and crops. To put down roots. To build business and relationships. It sums up the vows we made all those years ago so beautifully. I’ll go. I’ll stay. I’ll accept. I’ll believe. Together.⠀
⠀
Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. ⠀
Ruth 1:16⠀
⠀
I love personal gifts, so when @Mapiful offered to let me choose my own map, I knew I wanted to gift this to my husband. Right now, Mapiful is having an BOGO offer for 50% off your 2nd print just in time for Mother’s Day. #mapifulfamily⠀
⠀
What is one of your favorite personalized gifts?⠀
