Unexpected day home…

August 27, 2013 Leave a Comment

So today was lovebug’s One Year check-up and after four shots at the pediatrician we ended up home with lots of snuggles and a very long nap…and I napped too (30 peaceful minutes v. his 3 hours!). However, I didn’t intend to be home today, but helpful hubby scheduled the appointment not realizing that 1. He forgot which day and 2. It was at 10:30am – since I’m already 30 minutes away from my job I pretty much can scratch my day after being done close to noon… So we ended up home. Honestly I didn’t realize I needed it, but I guess I did. Though I had grand plans of doing a ton of things, the internet was down in our area (really?). So I actually did rest, worked on some new ideas for the shop and even created goals for the shop, this blog, and my life! Who knew it would turn so productive?!?!

One of my favorite things today was the fact that I got my Mug Swap box in!! Check it out
This was my first ever swap to sign up for and I LOVED IT!! I really enjoyed sending out something to my partner and just having fun with it. From the mug to the painting to the chocolate (which I happily ate during nap time) I felt so special and really loved what I received. Ever get something and not really like it…well this didn’t happen today! I’ve already found a place for my painting and I’ve had 2 cups of coffee from my mug. So we can pretty much say this was a total WIN. I liked this experience so much I’m getting ready to host a swap of my own with another lovely Instagram handmade shop owner! Stay tuned for details.

Since December we have been practicing how to rest Since December we have been practicing how to rest as a family - real soul rest and it’s been life giving.

On Friday evenings we cook together and disconnect. Last weekend we made this challah bread and it was delicious! Mike and I look through new recipes to prep for our time. This recipe is on the blog!

Slowing down last year taught us how unhealthy being “busy” and doing more was for us individually, as a family, and even for our kids. We were functioning in rhythms that may have appeared to be beneficial - but had negative side effects. 

2020 allowed us to refocus and shift. Mike and I knew God desires for our home to benefit most - because it’s our first ministry. 

Family rhythms look unique to you and I pray yours is reaping the best it can this week ♥️ #familyrhythms #familyisourfirstministry

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
