My little love. ❤️

Today I sat across from this woman and laughed loudly, talked about faith and our kids, and shared a sacred space that I share with few others. I’ll spare you the story of how we met (it’s embarrassing), but I will tell you that @emilykayrichardson has been my person for 14 years. Life doesn’t make friendship easy, but I’m reminded often that Em is irreplaceable. Even as our lives have become crazier and we’re getting older, we always find our way back to each other. ✨ Happy birthday, Melly! ✨ You are my sister through and through, and I’ll always be grateful for every way we’ve grown up together. You are a woman of valor who I admire in more ways than you know. Love you, Tarzan Toe Twin. ✨

This old house has a story to tell. I’m just trying to find places for our stuff, and she’s letting me know if it’s right. It’s like a dance, learning to live in a place that’s never known us. Slowly it becomes home, slowly it starts feeling like a reflection of us. No tidying up here, and it feels just right.

This girl runs like no one can stop her. She makes me wonder why I don’t run like I used to. I sat down to write today because I don’t write anymore. I got quiet a while ago because silence is easy. There’s no risk. And that way, there is no chance of God being wrong. That would be easier some days—the risk that God could be wrong. But it’s like the marrow in my bones knows it, like the guts of my guts feels it. Silence is easy, but He didn’t make me for that. He proves Himself time and again: He makes no mistakes. He makes us for such times as these, for such purpose, for such importance, for such voices that are unique as our fingerprints and DNA. You ever think about it like that? That whatever God called you to has gotta be wrong somehow, some way? We try to snuff if out, ignore it, be anything but. But He wasn’t wrong, isn’t wrong, about me or about you. He’s definitely right, sure, reliably certain when all else is not. Just reminding myself. He’s not wrong. And it’s time to run like it, like this baby girl who isn’t scared about what she doesn’t know.

Stopped to see our favorites in Georgia and almost stayed, but the beach is calling our name. The Baldwin Bed & Breakfast is a new fav, highly recommend 11/10.

Loved serving with these ladies tonight! PS I post this out of love @vickigatchell 😊😊

The honest to goodness truth is that this man is more and better than any dreams I had when I was younger. We were 19 in this photo, in love, and wild about each other. It’s still true today, just better. Happy Fathers Day to the actual man of my dreams, the funniest person I know, the most patient person in our family, the only one who doesn’t get hangry, most genuine and kind, my adventure partner, and total and complete hottie. We’re all better because of you. Love you always.

While being a mom has been the most sanctifying experience, I would be remiss if I didn’t tell all the women in my life that they are esteemed, seen, and women of valor (eshet chayil!). Women are incredible. I love the ones I know. They lead with me, love me, encourage me, laugh with me, cry with me, make fun of me (in love), and model for me what it looks like to be women who love our children, the children of others, and each other. You all are precious to me. These are the photos I cherish: each a photo of me with my babies in their first few weeks of life. And the last, a photo of my mom and I. She has been the mom to me that I hope to be everyday to my own kids. I love you, Mom.

Love you big, love watching you love your soon-to-be hubby, love being your friend. UP NEXT: WEDDING DAY 🎊

Wept my way through service Good Friday and this Easter Sunday. Not because we’re good but because HE IS SO GOOD. I’m not over it. It never gets old. He’s not in that grave, He’s done it, it is finished, we are free, we get life, He’s JUST GETTIN STARTED. Hallelujah. Happy Easter from us to you, dear friends. Go live like the King is alive and freedom is in your grasp, amen? PS The trick to family photos is to have the worst expectations. Then you’re never disappointed when they don’t turn out that great. 😆

When you match with your friends 🕶 PS these people are our people. Thankful for you, @mitchellmaibach & @puresugarcreations.
