Family | Easter Sunday

April 3, 2018 Comments : 5

Our Easter Sunday gathering was full of laughs, egg hunting, and so much quality time my love tank is bursting at the seams. The amount of warmth in the house was rather aromatic and tangible when you moved the right way. When Mike and I prayed for a home, this was one of our main desires. To share our space all the while demonstrating to our kids about the importance of community, friendship, and family.

We invited family and friends with no strings attached, just to come and enjoy themselves. So we left the door open and this was a glimpse into our Easter Sunday.

I was completely into making the experience wonderful for everyone. I even made gift bags (thanks Pinterest!) and ensured that everyone took as much candy as possible…because you need endless candy. Mike took on the egg hunt which was perfect, because every kid filled their baskets to the absolute brim! Everyone voted that this must become an annual thing.

These are the boys’ cousins (minus two more boys – it’s all boys haha!). They bring me so much joy and I continue to grow in my gratefulness of this developing legacy. They are kind, hilarious, strong, and so much more. I couldn’t have thought of anyone better to give our best to.

I hope your Easter was full of what makes you most happy and satisfied deep within. The best part was this was the least stressful prep for a gathering I’ve done in a long time! I had a blast before, during, and after. That was a big personal win for me…looking forward to more of this.

Let’s talk about shame... When the Lord started Let’s talk about shame...

When the Lord started walking me through how my approach to correcting behavior started to look more like shaming... it was humbling and convicting. 

Many times my desire to correct overrides any opportunity to understand and walk through the challenge together. 

When I yell, dismiss, or even explode at what they shouldn’t be doing - I communicate shame rather than offering wise counsel. Especially with abstract concepts that deal with the heart like lying, pride, anger...

It hit me most when I yelled at my angry child for lashing out 👀 - as I watched myself I felt the Lord nudge me with how can you correct sin while sinning? 

... oh the embarrassment, but the chance to do better.

Quieting my own self and taking it in, because conviction makes room for growth not shame. 

I’ve asked the Lord more and more to calm my voice with the intent of allowing true change as I parent. Praying my heart is bent more to seeing how God restores and transforms our behaviors to reflect true goodness. Rather than a God who shames as they see me shame them. #christinmotherhood

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and do Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

There’s power in praying our family grows in God’s word and even more as we see ways to apply it daily. I’ve come to realize there’s a spiritual home we’ve been called to build it looks like this family.

In our character, how we reflect Christ, and how we model that for our kids - even invite them to do the same.

I started working on this portrait of us and wanted to symbolize how we’re planted. When times have been their hardest - it’s been God’s word that’s sustained us. #foundationinchrist
