  • I'm coming to you today from an honest place needing this verse. Last night I was up for two hours during the night, wide awake, and the devil wanted to use it to bring fear into my life. I had weird bad dreams and thoughts and overall felt unsettled.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then- I remembered these things were NOT from God. He has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love and sound judgement. I prayed that Satan be cast out in Jesus name and I read my Bible and the Made for This book by Jennie Allen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Armor up friends. We are in a battle. Satan wants you to be anxious and fear. He doesn't want you to accept the perfect peace Christ offers us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Praying you'll find his peace, power, love and perfect judgment today. xo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ p.s. some good songs I love on this note- Raise a Hallelujah by Hillsong, Surrounded by Michael W Smith, and New Wine by Hillsong. Also- Another in the Fire by Hillsong⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #armorup #armorofgod #madeforthis #jennieallen #bibletruth #devotional #writersofinstagram #bible #sprititualwarfare #thisishowifightmybattle #hillsong #michaelwsmith

  • All. The. Schedules. 😯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m pretty sure a lot of Moms who homeschool throughout the year don’t stress about all the schedules and worry if it’s 11 AM and they should be on to outdoor play but uh oh- they’re still doing art projects. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 My point is- we don’t need any added stress Mamas. You’re capable of this. More than capable. You know what needs to happen and you know your kids. Enjoy the freedom of time together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For us- we tapped into some Osmo time yesterday. It’s been a great reminder of fun things we have at home that we don’t always get to do because “we have to go” or “get in the car- we don’t have time for that right now!”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve all been given the gift of a whole lot of time together. Remember you have cool things in your home. You have great kids. Find JOY in the everyday moments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #youcandoit #osmo #osmogenius #notanad #threeboys #boymom #yesyoucan #homeschool #graceoverguilt #thesearethedays

  • Guess what I have time to explore?! YES!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I was in college I was out for a run 🏃‍♀️ (that sentence sounds so funny to me now) and as I was at a stop sign, so was THE Julia Child. 🤗😮🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I still think about that day and how I wanted to run after her car. I always hoped I’d run into her at the farmers market too. ☺️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today- I’m so glad she didn’t have social media. I like the Julia Child in my head and the one I can learn so much from in her books. For now I’m starting with this one. A book gifted to me upon high school graduation! 🥖 🍞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks for following along. It’s a good time to cook! 👩🏼‍🍳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #juliachild #bread #bakingwithjulia #getcooking

  • Verse Two, Day Two. I love this imagery. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where is my confidence right now? Where is yours? In your pantry and bank account, or in the Lord? I know I'm here trying to put my confidence in God. It's a daily act of faith I need to practice. It feels more hourly these days. I think that's what God wants- for us to lean on Him this much.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The tree sent out its roots. It did not fear. It was not worried. It never failed to bear fruit.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been thinking of my small business friends and praying that the Lord would help them to bear fruit in this uncertain time. It may not be monetary, but you'll know His fruit when you experience it. If that's you- I'm praying God would give you creativity with your business. That he would give you new ideas and that in a season of drought that you'd send out your roots to His living water, not fear, and know He will bear fruit in you from all of this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He wants us to be strong like that tree. It's possible in Him.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #praying #prayers #prayersforcovid19 #Jesusmakeaway #smallbusiness #truth #shereadstruth #Bible

  • Alright friends. It's that time again. It's always that time, but even more now I know I need to be bathing in the Word and letting FAITH not FEAR engulf me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm taking steps to guard my mind from things that are going to stress me out and turning to the Word. We don't have cable so no need to worry about watching the news, but I'm also turning off my FB feed too right now. As a practice I hope you find helpful, I'm posting one verse a day to focus on. Truth- not speculation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I need this. My kids need this. Talking with some of you about our anxiety, I think we all need this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, here we go. Verse one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's what I love. This is a commandment- not a suggestion. He is a good Father and He's reminding us that He is with us! He is with us in any season, any situation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm leaning on this verse today and praying our faith increases during this time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just for fun- if you need a good song to listen to- Waymaker by Leeland has been on repeat over here. He is able.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Monday friends.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #oneverseaday #faithnotfear #truth

  • JOY for these boys today looked like playing with Daddy’s legos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They’re usually in a box with a big (Do Not Touch) sign - JUST KIDDING. 😆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Either way/ it was fun to have them play quietly and listen to their little conversations while I sat in the other room and read a book! 📚 🙌🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Making memories. ♥️
