Rain, Lipstick, and Yarn

October 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

It’s been raining over here for the last few days and as much as I love rainy weather, I think I’ve had my fill for now. I’ve had a fun d.i.y. planned for two bar stools in my kitchen, and haven’t even been able to work on them. I’m ready to go to the pumpkin patch and spend some time in the crisp cool air…so we will see what the weekend has in store for us. Aside from the rain I’ve been trying to get over this cold, that the doctor said could turn into the flu [insert side glance here]. So I took yesterday off to rest and I’m hoping this long weekend will do me some good as well.

Tonight we went to Target, and I got the courage to buy red lipstick! It’s always been one of those things that I’ve wanted to do, but never have. Do you have something that isn’t necessarily “you,” but you would love to try it once? I’ve got plump lips, so I wasn’t too sure if red would be too much or draw more attention than I want. Needless to say, I like it! I probably will wear it tomorrow when I get all the new fun items up on the shop. It will be my pop of color when I wear a few of the cowls! We’ll see. I’m not as daring as I would like to be, but I’m getting there.

Today was I Love Yarn day… I know I missed that memo too. So I’m hoping to swing by the store tomorrow and see if there are any leftover sales since this day was NOT on the calendar… Well it’s back to prepping for new seasonal items in the shop and I think a good fall recipe is needed too!

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
