Succulents...yes please! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Can’t wait to bless some amazing volunteers tomorrow with some of these goodies! ❤️ P.s. I learned today that I really don’t like doing things last minute—but I also love adventure in spontaneity. I do think there’s a difference. What do you think?

“I look to the hills and where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, Maker of Heaven and Earth” Psalm 121 Today was a long day. I’m tired, but hopeful. I’ve taken somewhat of a sabbatical since February—and it’s been good and hard altogether. In the struggle God always refines me and this time He’s been helping me through of process of moving from fear to freedom—again. This isn’t the first time I’ve battled fear—and I’m sure it’s not the last. On Monday I’ll be sharing more about #howtoovercomefear when it won’t go away. #fromfeartofreedomtour

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.“ If you ever feel like you need God, but don’t know where to start—read this: This morning I was crying out to the Lord for His help. As a family, we’ve been through a lot of changes over the past three years and as a result our little one has had a sleeping schedule that was a little uncharacteristic. Now that we’re in a schedule that is healthier for our family, we’ve had struggles with adjusting our sleep schedule. It’s tiring. We’ve tried lots of thing and really it just comes down to one thing. We need God’s help. So that was my prayer this morning before my quiet time. “God, please help us, because it’s not working and we need our family to thrive.” I then turned to my reading for the day (I’m doing a study along with our church). Literally what I read next was an answer beyond what I could imagine or expect. “Forget the former things. I’m doing something new.” God is near to us, sweet mom. Cry out to Him. Make your requests known to Him. Seek Him first. Open up His Word and read. You may find that He has something to say to your heart just when you need it most. ❤️
