 Nailed it.

“I’m thanking you, God, from a full heart, I’m writing the book on your wonders.  I’m whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy; I’m singing your song, High God.”

Psalm 9:1-2 (MSG)

    Hahahaha
    When we walked onto that beach, my first and only thought was “lie down in the water and don’t move ever again.” YOUR first thought was, “Hey, we should jump up and down with glee 779 times to get one of those pictures of us in midair.” I love you for your beautiful perspective on life and for stretching me to do silly things like this once in a while in the name of love (and then documenting it for the daily edification of 40,000 strangers). =)

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that

  • It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago I slept through my alarm, set my veil on fire, had 9 precious flower girls walk down the aisle before me, and we made a covenant before God that we would love and serve each other forever. We don’t do it perfectly, but, by God’s grace, we keep showing up. And he never fails to make me laugh. Happy Anniversary to the best man I know! . Photo Credit >> @heatherholtphoto ✨

  • You know it’s family picture day when I put on lipstick, no one wants to wear the outfits I carefully picked out, and there’s a 100% chance of rain! So thankful for @heatherholtphoto and her expert abilities to capture what feels like a mess and make it into something beautiful. That’s some Gospel inspiration right there. Here’s to a 2020 Christmas card!

We must be diligent to wrestle our fears out WITH the Lord (and not in our own minds or on social media or in a pint of ice cream ). Plop yourself into His presence and tell him everything that is bothering you. Be real. Be raw. Cry. Be mad. Be disappointed. But then >> don’t stay there.
