Quality..quality time

As our Christmas break comes to a close, I’m filled with a lot of gratefulness. Unfortunately everyone was sick the majority of our break, I mean really sick. From stomach flu to RSV it’s been one quarantined holiday. It ended up being a serious blessing in disguise. We laughed a lot, cleaned from top to bottom, purged our way through endless piles, and did probably what we’ve always wanted to do during a long break…rest.

Not just naps (which were great), but actually rest. No major working or talking about ministry/jobs which is tough when your life is significantly ministry based. Mike and I did lots of reflections of 2018 when the kids were fast asleep, along with hopes for what we desire for this new year. I’m not one for yearly lists and I’ve tried to do one little words – yet I feel like this year is pivotal for us and we’ve known for some time.

For now I will pen down my thoughts and aspirations, major and minor changes, all while holding dear to those things that won’t fade. So here are a few simple mom snapshots of our break. We wore pjs like it was our job and have had a blast in the midst of it all. Praying you enjoyed your Christmas and hoping an awesome few more days for you before 2019!!

That’s it... that’s the caption and joke 😂 #humorwithkids
Follow Me... Through the gospels I see Jesus call Follow Me...

Through the gospels I see Jesus calling for people to follow him. Not to a program or an event - but the opportunity to watch him live life in Spirit and in Truth. Live in a way that brought each person closer to God not the creeds of religion. 

I remember the last few years of full time ministry for me how a mentor of mine challenged me to reevaluate how I was on boarding/leading people to Jesus. How was I teaching others to see Christ more than a method or strategy.

That work is different.

It’s also life giving. 

As I continue to read through the scriptures I’m reminded to clarify don’t follow me. JOIN me as I follow Christ and we’ll walk, grow, fail, and learn from Him together.

If we all saw each other as fellow students rather than how we believe our gifts elevate ourselves over one another. 

“The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” Luke‬ ‭6:40‬ #readwithme30

Some homeschool days we’re all killin it. Everyo Some homeschool days we’re all killin it. Everyone is excited, there’s cool ways of learning, and it’s a win all around!

Other days it feels like I’m pulling teeth...everyone is dragging and I’m herding cats - y’all I’m not a cat person either 😑 

[ad] In trying out ways to help with focus and changing up our routines. I’m seeing how techniques and even incorporating @maryruthorganics Focus & Attention for kids all natural supplements is a beneficial addition. 

We’ve been moving more towards organic and clean options from the inside out especially in our diet. I started off with their postpartum probiotics and now introducing this line for our kids 👌🏽 

What are some techniques you use in helping your kids focus on those tough #homeschooling days? #maryruthpartner
