This is me the day after I felt an attack from the enemy over my body image...let me explain. 👇🏻 ⠀⠀ You see, I’ve struggled liking what I see in the mirror. 6 years ago I was tired of this weighing me down. I was tired of not living my best life because of this mindset. ⠀⠀ So I gave that up to God and said, “Work on my heart. ❤️ Help me to see what you see in me instead of the imperfections I see.” ⠀⠀ Over time, through lots of prayer and intentions, He’s worked on me and provided so much. That inner critic became quieter and my confidence began to emerge. Through my struggle He allowed me to EXPERIENCE Him and use my story for His good. 💕 ⠀⠀ BUT...yesterday came the dreaded day. The day when I tried on bathing suits for our summer vacation. 👙 And guess what started happening??? ⠀⠀ Those stupid thoughts started running through my head again. My eyes looked at every part of me I still didn’t like instead of how far I’ve come in my journey. 😖 ⠀⠀ I was pissed. Pissed because I’ve worked so hard NOT to be negative about my body. Pissed because I knew where it was coming from. ⠀⠀ So here’s the part I want you to hear... ⠀⠀ I KNEW this was the enemy’s schemes...because I know God’s voice through an ongoing relationship with Him, and that is not how He talks!! 🙅🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀ He speaks to us in love-tones full of grace, mercy, & patience, and never one of condemnation. ⠀⠀ Distraction, self-doubt, fear, and shame are some of the enemy’s best weapons, but we have to realize when he’s lurking and that God’s already won the battle. ⠀⠀ So I literally fell to the floor with tears welling up in my eyes and fervently prayed for a renewed mindset and for God to fight this battle for me. ⚔️ . Of course He showed up! So today I’m back, feeing like a bada$$ because I’ve got the best Defender on my team. 👊🏻 ⠀⠀ Have you experienced God in this way? If so, how? If not yet, I pray you open yourself up to the possibility of it. Experiencing Him is one of the sweetest gifts to receive. 🎁

Can I tell you a quick story? 📖 . This morning I went into my daughter's room to wake her up for school. I rubbed her back and gave her some snuggles. She's kind of a slow riser and enjoys the quick connect with me (and honestly, I love it too). 💕 ⠀⠀ She started rustling around a bit so I stood up right next to her bed. ⠀⠀ For some reason she got anxious and called out urgently to me, "MOM, where are you???" ⠀⠀ I said, "I'm right here. I never left." ⠀⠀ And then it hit me...there are times when we feel just like her: alone, anxious, and like our Father has left us. ⠀⠀ But the truth is, He’s NEVER left our side. He's just waiting patiently for us to seek Him and reach out to him. ⠀⠀ So whether there's a specific circumstance in your life or just the day to day grind that's left you feeling anxious or lonely or frustrated (or even if you’re really happy), I pray you seek Him in a quiet space and trust He's always by your side to comfort and guide you. ⠀⠀ And then listen for Him to say, "{Your name}, I never left you." ❤️❤️

This one makes me feel every emotion from elation to exasperation. ⠀⠀ My favorite moments are when he laughs so hard he can’t breathe, when he’s super thoughtful or kind without being asked, or when we talk before bed and he opens up to me about what’s on his heart. 💕 ⠀⠀ But there are times when I feel like I’m so short on time to teach him how to become an adult (he’s already joked that I don’t need to turn everything into a life lesson 😂). ⠀⠀ I’ve been doing my best to build into him for years with small glimpses of fruit from my labor, but there’s more times when I think I’m just messing it all up. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀ The hubs asked me how we make sure he turns out ok, and my best answer was, “Prayer and faith that God wants to redeem him even more than me and that He has a plan for him.” - while hoping some of what I’m teaching him sticks too. ⠀⠀ I know there are promises in the Bible like Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. ⠀⠀ I’m counting on it! 🙏🏻 ⠀⠀ Mamas of boys, do you sometimes feel like you’re running short on time to help your boy become a responsible man?

I •f i n a l l y• purchased some army pants I’ve been eyeing for a while. But I need more ideas about what to wear with them. Do you have a pair? If so, what do you wear with them?

Turn on the sound. 🔈 . 1. Listen to the beautiful birds chirping and the sounds of the soft rain. 2. And then...listen for the sound of my husband’s screams while my son yells, “Hold your nose! Hold your nose!” 😂 The hubs didn’t see the end coming! In his defense, my screams were a whole lot louder than him, but when you’re the camera-woman, you don’t get caught as much. SWIPE to see his awesome repel that is NOT in slow motion. “Whoa, daddy,” says my daughter. This was seriously my favorite excursion in Costa Rica! Have you ever been repelling? If so, where? If not, would you ever give this a try?

Want a good laugh over my absent-mindedness? 🤣 Yesterday I thought I would be nice to my hubby and cut the grass. We have one of those 33 inch wide mowers that are quite heavy, but I’ve never struggled with it before. . But...yesterday I WAS struggling and started wondering how I got so weak since the fall. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ . Then this morning over breakfast, the hubs says to me, “Doesn’t our lawn mower NOT have a front wheel right now?” . 😳 . I went to investigate and guess what? He was right! I wasn’t weak; I just was trying to push it without a wheel. 🤦🏼‍♀️ . How is that possible, you say? How did I not notice that? 🤷🏼‍♀️ . I have no idea! . Crazy brain strikes again! Please tell me I’m not the only one who does crazy stuff like that!
