Jesus Stays the Same

A little life update for y’all – we pretty much drove across the entire state of Texas in two weekends; we moved homes and got a puppy the next…

ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Sydney, the author of this blog. I’m a wife to the love of my life, mama to our precious Dolly Jean, dog-mom to two sweet pups, and flawed lover of Jesus. Follow along with me and my little family on our adventures and hear about what The Lord’s been teaching me!

Life is such a miracle. There’s no way there isn Life is such a miracle. There’s no way there isn’t a God who is all-powerful, wildly creative & deeply loving. I pray that Dolly learns to stand firm in the truth of what the Bible says about her: God knitted her together in the womb - every single part of her (ps. 139:10) Yet even before that, God says that He knew her (jer. 1:5) She is a daughter of the King (gal. 3:26) He calls her by name (is. 43:1) He has every little blonde hair on her head numbered (matt. 10:30) She is fearfully & wonderfully made (ps. 139:14) God loves her with an everlasting love (jer. 31:3) He set her apart before she was born (gal. 1:15) He created her for good works that He’s prepared beforehand (eph. 2:10) It’s truly incredible to know that God has known about our little girl forever and chose me to be her mama. It’s such an honor to be entrusted with a soul that has the ability to grow up and make an impact in this world for the Kingdom of God. All of creation emulates His majesty; especially this blue-eyed cutie, in my unbiased opinion. 😉

“She is clothed with strength & dignity; she lau “She is clothed with strength & dignity; she laughs without fear of the future." - Proverbs 31:25 Why are we teaching our kids to be fearful and disheartened by the state of the world? Yes, there are a lot of unknowns, but we don't need to feel sorry or fear for their future. God created and called every single one of us for the exact moment in time we're in, according to His sovereign plan. He isn't scratching His head, wondering what He's going to do. He has an army He's raising up to drive back the darkness and make Him known all over the earth. And we should be honored that God chose US to parent the generation that will face the biggest challenges of our lifetime. Our job is to: 🤍 Raise them to know the power they walk in as children of God. 🤍 Train them up in the authority of His Word. 🤍 Teach them to walk in faith, knowing that God is in control. 🤍 Empower them to know God can use them to change the world. Let's rise up to the challenge. Don’t let your fears steal the greatness God placed in our children. I know it’s hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we just want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard for them, but they were born for such a time as this. 🙌🏻
What’s sweet, salty & berry sandy? 😉🍓 we’re ready to squeeze in a few more beach days before the season’s “officially” over, but I have a feeling we have plenty of time 🌊 What’s the weather like where you’re at? Is it fall already?! ☀️🍁
Lazy dayz 🦩 except not really 🤪 things have Lazy dayz 🦩 except not really 🤪 things have been go-go-go lately & I’ve been trying to pause everyday and soak up time with this cutie while she’s still little, because it’s true what they say: time really does fly. ⏰ Are you having more of a slow week or fast-paced like us?!
I have a confession: I tend to be a "no" mom. 👇 I have a confession: I tend to be a "no" mom. 👇🏻 "No, you can't eat an ice cream sandwich before bed." "No, you can't jump in the mud in your church dress." "No, you can't go play in the rain 5 minutes after taking a bath." Anyone else ever said something similar? 🙋‍♀️ But hear me out: I believe that when we say yes to God, He does some of the sweetest work in us. Sometimes the little "yes's" become precious moments that bring me into Dolly's little world. These memories are what will remind our kids that they are loved and valued, and could be far more memorable than any summer vacation. God uses moments like these to remind me to step back from the idol of productivity that I so often give into and be fully present, because what they say is true: time is fleeting. Our kids are growing up quickly. 🥺 The "yes" to go play outside as a family, when there are dishes all over the kitchen — God uses it to take my mind off of how drained I may have felt just moments before. And when the dreaded mom guilt rears its ugly head, we can say "yes" to following God. He promises to lead and guide us in the path He's perfectly laid out for us. We are constantly growing in this thing called motherhood, as His child, just as our children are, too. 💜 Join me in saying "yes" more often in these moments. What's something you've said yes to recently?
