6 Tips for Breast Feeding...

September 5, 2019 in Motherhood

Posting this #throwback from our engagement shoot

Posting this #throwback from our engagement shoot -- just to say how incredibly proud I am of you.

When we were dating and engaged Will was very clear about what his goals were -- for us, for our family, and for himself. He has never wavered on those goals and always stressed the importance of building a legacy.

Well Dub, you set a goal for 2022, and ---

Today, 1/13/2022, you accepted an incredibly amazing promotion.

You deserve all the 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.

So proud of you and grateful for all that you do for #TheDubs.

🙌🏽

Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us.”

This year I encourage you to choose J O Y.

“…for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10

Have you ever considered how your days flow when they are rooted in joy?

Not happiness because that‘s based on circumstances but the unexplainable and internal stability, JOY!

This is the joy I’m walking in for all of 2022. I am planting my feet in this truth and being sure that God will give me joy, and that joy in turn will be the strength I need to do all the things He has called me to do.

To wife.
To parent.
To lead.
To teach.
To serve.

And here’s the great thing about joy — it’s God given. So even when your circumstances try to rob you of your joy, Jesus has offered us some of His. 🙌🏽

John 15:11 “I have told you these things so that MY JOY AND DELIGHT MAY BE IN YOU, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.”

That’s Bible.

So cheers to a JOY-filled and joyful 2022. 💫

Cheers to #ThirtyNew . I heard someone say the 30

Cheers to #ThirtyNew
.
I heard someone say the 30’s are like your 20’s but with money — and I felt that. 🤣
•
What I also FEEL —
a little bit wiser
a lot more confident
a whole bunch of love
a little more sure of God’s call for my life
a bit stronger — physically and mentally
affirmed in the truth that God’s plans for me are GOOD — to prosper and not harm, to give me a hope and a future. (Jer 29:11)

It’s my personal NEW YEAR — and my heart keeps coming back to Mark 2:22 // “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Past years stretched me — this next year in this decade will feel like a newness. 🙌🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

3 Things I’ve Learned in Marriage

1. Don't ever compare your love story to the next person. Instead, surround yourself with married couples who share the same values and beliefs.
•
2. Therapy is a safe space to grow and navigate the many layers that make you and your partner unique.
•
3. The goal isn’t just to stay married but to be happily married and bring honor to God through your marriage.
