🎙I can’t edit the words that come out of my mouth...

🎙Writing is my comfort zone means of communication because well, I can go back and edit the words.

🎙But speaking as an ambassador of Christ is something I do with joy but great reverence as well....simply because I truly want Jesus to be represented well even when I feel like I’m tripping over my tongue.

🎙In this recent interview you’ll hear the condensed version of what a “normal” day looks like for me, what I bookend my days with, & how we incorporate worship and feasting on God’s Word into our family rhythms.

🎙You can find the link to the podcast in my bio or comment below and I’ll be happy to send it to you via DM.

🎙So much I left unsaid, and already have plans to write a few blog posts, but until then what questions do you have about family discipleship, time in the Word for moms or large family life?

Current mood....

📚Baby girl’s facial expression perfectly conveys how I feel about not being able to find not 1 but 3 books that I ordered back in August of 2020 to read to my children during Black History Month of this year.

📚I’m praying the Lord will help me remember where I put those books as I can’t stomach the thought of buying them again.

📚Have you ever put something in a “place you’ll remember”, only to NOT remember the place you put them?

Today I had a lovely time being interviewed by Wren over @friendsofafeatherpodcast, the episode goes live next week so more to follow on that.

Immediately after the interview was over I switched gears because it was potty time, story time, nap time, and time to finish up lessons that were moved to the afternoon so I could do the interview.

I wanted to get back to my desk and tidy things up from this morning but there were other things that needed to be done.

And so hours later, the evidence of my work from this morning is still very visible on my desk.

You see, while our days as moms hold many moments of things not getting done,

I believe the more accurate perspective is that we are to let go of work of lesser importance (straightening up my desk),

In order to be fully given to the work of greater importance (serving my family).

“There’s always going to be more to do, so practice leaving things undone and be proud of what you’ve already done.” -Coach Alicia Byers-

The day of the DC riots I woke up with the words from “Turn your eyes upon Jesus” on my mind.

I sang it during the day and then we sung it around the dinner table that night.

I believe the words in that song stand as a poignant reminder of two things:

1. Turning our eyes to Jesus is a choice that we must make every day.

And it’s then reflected in how we live our life. Every thought, deed and word.

2. Turning TO Jesus implies that we are turning AWAY from that which lesser than he is.

Fear, disparity, hopelessness, helplessness, anger, jealousy, pride and more.

Humanity’s deep need for hope is the same in times of calm as in times of distress.

The same today as it was at the cross.

And the source of that hope can only be found in the One who was victorious over sin and the grave.

“If you wish to be disappointed, look to others. If you wish to be downhearted, look to yourself.
If you wish to be encouraged...look to Jesus.” (Erich Sauer)
