The Best of Life: Celebrating FOUR!

July 22, 2019 Comments : 2

We truly celebrated for the entire weekend, as our “big boy” is officially four! It’s the BEST of life right now and I still cannot believe it’s been four full years of Titus. He truly is one of the best things I never knew I needed. Each of my boys have brought such a unique growth and vibrancy to my life – I’m constantly thankful. We searched and searched for the perfect boy birthday party ideas and knew a major water balloon fight would be it!

Being born in July has it’s perks!

Our 4 year old LOVES water and anything aquatic – seriously bathtime is fun. So we found these really cool easy to fill water balloons and large buckets to fill with water. We of course added a slip n’ slide and told all of our friends and family to bring their water guns to the party. To say they had a blast would have been an understatement!

Titus is bursting with personality, jokes, love, fierceness, and boldness. He is not overshadowed at all by his siblings, and yet he balances them out perfectly. I love watching him grow and develop into the incredible and rambunctious little boy he is. If you notice this is a theme of Titus’ parties and we like it.

What you’ve taught me this year

The 4 things you’ve taught me this year are:

  1. There’s always something to laugh about.
  2. Forgive quickly and move on.
  3. Others will appreciate your honesty, stay honest.
  4. There’s always time for a nap and a snack…always!

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
