While the boys nap, I sneak upstairs to the perfectly tidy Airbnb apartment and enjoy a little quiet time. 💛😂

Never dispise small beginnings ... One of my secr

Never dispise small beginnings ...

One of my secrets to joy is to celebrate the “small things.”

Whether it be the slow signs of spring or the slow reaching of milestones, I celebrate each vigorously.

Tiny flowers and rain storms? We celebrate them. Slow walks that are building muscle and skill? We celebrate them even more.

Growing character and fruits of the spirit in myself? Even that deserves a celebration.

If you’re like me, you may think the small victories aren’t worth much notice. After all, if you strive for perfection anything short of that feels like a loss.

But, I’ve discovered that that mindset only leads to defeat. We need to embrace, cherish, and celebrate the tiny victories in all areas of life — in our children’s milestones, in skills gained, in our personal growth, and even in the lessons learned from failure.

Celebrating these “small beginnings” is really just one more way to “in everything gives thanks.”

Tell me, what’s one “small beginning” you’re celebrating?

Old Faithful (what I’ve called our saggy couch)

Old Faithful (what I’ve called our saggy couch) is looking a little happier with some bright, colorful pillows thrown in. 💛🪴🛋

p.s. documenting this moment because I had finally chosen contentment recently while we waited and saved for a better couch. And today, D announced he thinks we could start shopping soon for a new one.

“There are only two kinds of Christians - those

“There are only two kinds of Christians - those who travel with the will of God and those who do not. There is no third option ... so, are you traveling with the will of God in your life, your relationships, your marriage, your money, your time?

You may have convinced yourself that you’re traveling in the will of God but, when it’s just you and God, you know whether that’s true or not.”

I’ve just started a sermon titled Biblical Compassion by Michael Youssef and wow. Already feeling convicted.

I’ve felt convicted for a while now that I’ve been watering down truth in my own life and have been afraid of speaking and living it boldly.

What are you listening too this weekend?

I love that Uriah found this perfect-for-him bench

I love that Uriah found this perfect-for-him bench and promptly fought his way out of his walker’s seat belt so he could sit a spell. 😂💛

Also, I had to use a rubber band to tie those cute little shorts in place. There’s nothing funnier than a little lad walking around the library with his pants around his ankles. 😂😆

I think God has a hand in every aspect of life.

Yes, I own that we make choices that have consequences (not positive and negative).

But, when you seek Him first, He will lead.

Before we were married Dalton accepted a job three hours away from family but it ended up being the best place to start our lives together.

Eventually, he got a better job. We bought a house and started an Airbnb. We have met dear friends and have had a great therapy program for Uriah.

Now, it’s a beautiful place I get to explore with a little boy who loves adventuring as much as I do. Who would have guessed that a decision made over seven years ago would still bring in blessings?
