Last week was one of the more stressful weeks of my job I think I have had possibly ever. On top of that, we had sick kiddos at home. Ryan tabled his own to-do list and took care of the boys while I poured myself out at work. By the end of the week, we both felt so pinched by life that we began unfairly expecting things of one another. Instead of tackling challenges arm in arm, we were in separate corners of the ring. But how good and pleasant when God’s people dwell together in unity! ✨Psalm 133✨ After - by happyhomefairy 3 weeks ago

✨“In the past you were full of darkness, but now you are full of light in the Lord. So live like children who belong to the light. Light brings every kind of goodness, right living, and truth. Try to learn what pleases the Lord.”✨ Ephesians 5:8-10 ICB There are so many needs and hurting people right now. I am often overwhelmed by the heaviness of it all. But it is not my job to fix everything. That is God’s job. And He is very aware of and sovereign over what is happening. What I CAN do is ask God to - by happyhomefairy 1 month ago
I was reading 2 Timothy this weekend and the part that stood out to me was verse 5 where Paul is talking to Timothy. “I recall your sincere faith that first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and now, I am convinced, is in you also.” I love that the Lord wanted the faithfulness of these two women to be recorded as being used by God to influence powerfully the faith of their son/grandson. What sweet hope to see the fruit of a mother’s ministry! As you rise each day to serve your little ones in - by happyhomefairy 1 month ago
When I was growing up it was a really big deal what to wear on the first day of school… ✅Leggings with stirrups? ✅Plastic heart bracelet? ✅Stick-on earrings? ✅Hypercolor T-shirt? ✅Jellies? ✅Anything that says “Limited Too”? My mom asked me what I was going to wear on the first day of school THIS year and, as much as I want to rock my slap bracelets and platform sneakers, of course I had to say @roolee ! It was a great first day for the whole family! Except we couldn’t find Zion’s shoes and I forgot Jethro’s school supplies and Noah wasn’t - by happyhomefairy 2 months ago
Phew. This week of mommin’ was rough and it reminded me of 2 things. ☝”Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” 1 Chronicles 16:11 God wants you no matter how you’re feeling. Tired. Messy. Whatever. He just wants you to seek him. Don’t quit seeking him even when you don’t feel like seeking him. Seek him ALWAYS. ✌Get yourself a friend who speaks words of life to you. Someone who can carry you to Jesus when it’s hard to get there yourself. Someone who will text you something like this “I’m so sorry my friend. maybe a - by happyhomefairy 2 months ago
For each of my pregnancies, I wanted to ask the Holy Spirit’s leading for who these little men would become. I wanted to have a few specific things to pray for each boy. He always formed a vision in my heart for them during those 9 months. Here are the 5 things I pray(ed) for Zion… That Zion would be STRONG. My pregnancy before Zion led us to a diagnosis of hypotonia for our middle boy. While I would not change a thing about that journey, you always want health for your babies. So I prayed and prayed that the - by happyhomefairy 2 months ago
Many years ago I called my sweet mother-in-law and vented to her about some challenges we were having with one of our boys. I was frustrated with the situation and my patience was worn thin. I felt like I wasn’t loving my child well. That’s when my mom-in-law said something I have never forgotten. She said, “Julie, it sounds like you need to get in his room at night while he is asleep and start praying over him.” So that night, I listened. I waited for him to fall asleep and then I quietly crept back into his room. I - by happyhomefairy 2 months ago
We took the boys to the dentist last week and they commented on the drive to the appointment that their dentist doesn’t seem very happy. So of course I said, “Yes, he has a habit of looking down in the mouth.” I also said we should try to be nice to him because he has fillings, too. All kidding aside, we decided to prepare some dentist jokes for our doctor in the hopes that we could brighten his day. And hopefully now yours! Here is the material we used… Q. What do dentists call their patients’ X-rays? A. Tooth pics
