“A woman by her very nature is maternal -- for every woman, whether ... married or unmarried, is called upon to be a biological, psychological or spiritual mother -- she knows intuitively that to give, to nurture, to care for others, to suffer with and for them -- for maternity implies suffering -- is infinitely more valuable in God's sight than to conquer nations and fly to the moon."
-Alice von Hildebrand

Amen. Happy Mother’s Day to all the women out there! ❤️ Especially my crazy, King George loving mama!

when I read this in my devotional the other day, my heart sank. I never realized how much I was a complainer until I started taking note of how many times I complained in just one afternoon. I was the woman with dried up bones!

working hard to keep my tongue in check, because I’m naturally a pessimist + it’s so easy to live in the negative. it’s not easy but it brings my spirit + the spirit of others around me down.

if you want the name of the study I’m doing, let me know in the comments and I’ll DM you!

“Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread

“Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the depth of our Lord and His broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on their way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.” -Bl. Fulton Sheen

at this point in my healing journey when I painted this, I was feeling so broken in all the ways. I wish I had seen this quote then because I would have known with certainty that in my brokenness, He was reaching into my heart + that so much fruit will come from the pain I was feeling. we can find beautiful in the broken- and I did many, many times during my years of healing.

yesterday I got more messages about divorce than I was wanting- not because I didn’t want to hear from you, but because it just confirmed how many of us have walked through that fire. it that made my stomach twist.

I can assure each of you that reached out that He sees you in this. and He is near. draw near to Him. use the people in your life that He has placed there to minister to you, friends, family, doctors, therapists. they are all there to make sure you get out from under the waves. ❤️

it has been six years since my divorce + even now

it has been six years since my divorce + even now I hesitate to share my story because it can still be so tender. but, after lots of prayer + prompting from God, today on @whitneycaves blog, I finally open up about what it means to be in the pit with Jesus + still hold fast to hope.

it’s not a pretty story- we are a broken people, but my hope + prayer is that through my vulnerability, someone is able to see the light, even if just for today. it was stories like the one I’m sharing now that got me through one more hour - seeing people on the other side of this, seeing people that were still whole in spite of the brokenness. and it is my prayer today that this message finds its way to whoever needs to hear it most.

I also wanted to us this space to recognize those lovely people that walked with me in the aftermath of it all. I’ve mentioned them in my story + I’m so, so grateful for their kindness and patience with me. I would not have made it through had they not been the hands + feet of Jesus through their ministry. they weren’t scared, intimidated, or afraid to walk through the muck with me + in so many ways, they saved me. (@jenn_jett, @nataliecreates, @traciblynn, @jenlongpottery, @handsthatteach, @kale80, @nestinggypsy love you all!) finally, I want to thank @whitneycaves for the encouragement + love she showed that made it so much easier to share something so private. ❤️

just in case you needed the reminder today, He is still there in the muck, He sees you in your distress, + He loves you fiercely.

I got some questions about the devotional I shared

I got some questions about the devotional I shared in my stories yesterday about being “consciously selective” about the things, media + people you surround yourself with.

the author wrote, “To be selective means to be discriminating, discerning, and choosy – to be careful about the choices you make. It’s the opposite of the mindless living that characterizes so many of us today...Whether we realize it or not, or making selections every day. We choose which way we dress and present ourselves to the world. We select the music we listen to, the movies and programs we watch, what we read and believe. We choose how we spend our time and with whom we spend it... to cope with the complexity, some people and others selected for them. They go with the flow and unquestioningly follow the crowd. They take the path of least resistance.”

if you’re interested on the name of the book or where to buy it, comment with your most overused emoji + I will DM you the link.

mine are 🤦🏻‍♀️ + 🤣. (shows you the state of my life rn.)

I truly have no words except to beg for prayers. if you know @stephanieweinert at all, then you know of her heart for Jesus, her heart for her family, + her heart for helping others find God. if you follow her, you also know that Beckett is the biggest flirt + blows the best kisses on earth. last night his heart stopped + he is in a coma.

we know our God is mighty + we know Beckett is a fighter. please pray for this family.

are you a traditional decorator or do you like touches of flair and whimsy? I’m 100% traditional but this morning on the blog I talk about a *tiny* way I add just a touch of the fun + unexpectedness in my home. (it’s about all this straight path girl can handle! 🤣)
