Family | Memories to Create this Easter

March 29, 2018 Comments : 7

I love the art of creating moments for my kids and family. Even more so as the boys grow and really begin to understand the importance of finding every opportunity to spend time where it matters. My most memorable moments surround how my own mom could turn the ordinary into something special. Even as a single parent our weekends were engulfed in laughter, pineapple pancakes, and movie nights with brownie sundaes. Holidays we travelled to make sure we were as close to family as possible. I’m convinced that’s why I love celebrating holidays, weekends, and random reasons to get together.

So this year in thinking of what to do for Easter, I was brought back to being around seven or eight years old and my mom doing an Easter egg hunt in our small apartment. Mike asked if we should host an egg hunt this year and I figured he just read my mind ha! So I’ve been prepping Easter eggs and pulling out all of the Easter goodies I bought the year before (mom hack tip: shop a year ahead when the season ends!! You’ll save so much money).

In a time where picture perfect feeds can drive the desire of celebrations, I want to remain true to genuinely creating moments that my family can feel the tangible adoration I have for them. My sister captured these moments as the boys refused to take their nap and Izaiah insisted he needed to remain as close to me as possible (thank God for baby wearing).

So as I put more finishing touches on Easter baskets, outfits, and crafts I cannot wait to see little faces light up and sounds of laughter and glee this weekend. I hope that your Easter is full of the same and even more friend.

    I love your baby carrier. So nice to do things with the baby right there with you. I love creating memories for my kids. Truth is, they create more memories for me than they do for the kids.

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
