Swap Mail!!

September 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

Do you remember this post? Well my love for happy mail and swapping spread to 12 other ladies and they joined Meg (from Mint and Arrows Shop) and I in sending something sweet and AWESOME to someone else!! Can you believe that?!?! 12 people signed up on our first one!! Meg, was not only the mind and co-host of this swap, but also my partner. I cannot tell you how excited I was to get her package tonight! Even my husband wanted in on the goods. I mean seriously, I’m still wearing my headband (it’s super soft and phenomenally made).

THE GOODS

From the card, lotion, to the manicure kit (my nails and eyebrows are a hot mess!), she just out-did herself. I even got a full stock of Starbucks travel coffee! Oh and did I mention my favorite part? The wine cork and the little wine glass rings. This is where I got teary-eyed (stay with me…I’m tired and emotional). Each of the rings has something that I love or that has been a part of the designs on my mugs. A camera, a mustache, a ship rudder (the nautical theme from lovebug’s party), a rose, a lock, and a heart. Can we say thoughtful? I also received two prints (they will be framed!), a mason jar I can store all of my paint pens in now, and a candle (it broke dang postal service!…but it smelled delicious).

Thank you Meg for doing this with me and spreading the word to your own network of headband addicts (which I’m on my way to becoming one) and friends who also joined in on this! As crazy as it seems to meet people on Instagram, I feel like I’ve found some serious valuable friendships in those I have met thus far…and you’re one of them Meg. From the planning to the creating of the post for IG, you made sure it happened and it was successful. I’m excited for more adventures to come 🙂 I can’t wait to see what the rest of the ladies have received within the next week. Don’t forget if you’re on Instagram check out the hashtag #favthingswap2013 to post your own packages and if you have a blog share there too!!
I’m so delighted and overjoyed to have done this and I really can’t wait to do the next one 🙂

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
