I love an inspirational lock screen, especially if it’s FREE. It helps set the tone for the day and can serve as an encouraging reminder whenever you check your phone, set your alarm, send a text, etc. Putting a Bible verse on mine has helped me memorize scripture, as well. These are all sized to an iPhone XR, so feel …
“No amount of regret changes the past. No amount of anxiety changes the future. Any amount of grateful joy changes the present.” Ann Voskamp This was such a timely reminder to practice gratitude for the small joys today and every day. Children are so good at this, at finding joy in the journey! Somehow along the way, though, we grow …
“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.” PHILIPPIANS 4:6 (AMP) I’m the worst when it comes to letting worry creep in and continually have to remind myself to “let go and let God,” to pray about everything. …
Nolan and I had some time to pass before a meeting with his new teacher a few weeks ago (So excited to start preschool!), so we spent it in this stunning sanctuary. We talked about the hand-crafted stained glass windows and the story of Good News they tell. We climbed the stairs to the balcony and sat in awe of …
A PreK teacher friend posted this in her classroom this year … I feel like these should be LIFE rules, especially after the struggle bus made a stop at our house this morning.

“Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, …
Such a gorgeous afternoon with these boys! Have to say, though, that our day did not end as sweetly and conflict-free as these precious faces and moments would suggest. There were meltdowns and literal wailing and biting and gnashing of teeth last night—over toys and invasion of personal space and “He’s looking at me!” and staying in our seats at …
David has been in LA for work the past couple of days, which means the boys and I are missing him.

I know it seems …
