Changes Are Coming And We’re Moving To Georgia!

October 5, 2019 Leave a Comment

Above is a photo of our home for the last five years. The place where we’ve brought home 2/3 babies, made memories, spent time with family and friends, and so much more is being sold. This has been a tough and major process for us as Mike and I have been truly praying for almost 3/4 years what our next season of life would be. I wasn’t expecting a major move in the plans! We knew that changes were coming and one of them is we’re moving to Georgia! This is a major family faith move.

After a year of connecting and having honest convos about life in this next season, we are officially moving to Georgia! To write this still makes my heart thump out of my chest. We’ve never made such a significant life change, but we know this is exactly what we should be doing.

My heart feels so much as we prepare to move. Even more so as our house has sold in less than three days! Seriously, I’m trying to not ask for a million signs to confirm this transition – but that’s a huge one.

The boys are excited. However, as we discuss it more the reality sets in that we won’t be near any family soon. That’s one thing I’ve been most grateful for over the last several years of motherhood – we have a tribe. Not just a family one, but a close friend one as well. My kids see their cousins regularly and it’s a normal I will hate to see go the most.

One major change as we prep to move is, I won’t be working outside of the home anymore! I know!?! I’m actually going to be staying home and focusing on other areas. I’m extremely thankful that Mike made this a priority as we discussed transitioning out of our jobs and possibly to this new position for him. To know he wants us both to invest into some areas of me personally is a treasure I’m not taking for granted.

We have a lot to pack and sort through, but it’s happening. Some days it’s surreal, while others I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us. This year is most certainly ending with a bang for sure…

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
