Hope in the Storm

I’ve spent way too much time trying to figure out how to start this because my heart is heavy. For some, Hurricane Harvey is just another…

My miracle girl 💛 yesterday on my stories I sha My miracle girl 💛 yesterday on my stories I shared some cool things the Lord has been teaching me lately & a little infertility update. If you missed it, I saved it to my highlights! Here’s the spark notes recap: If you’re in a season of waiting, I know how frustrating it can be. Just know that God is not ignoring you. He always answers our prayers, just not exactly how we expect him to. Jesus takes care of his children & I’m choosing to trust in the God of miracles. ✨
Salty, but sweet (with a mouthful of sand 😅) Sw Salty, but sweet (with a mouthful of sand 😅) Swipe to see Dolly truly thriving!! I can taste the grits of sand between my teeth as I’m typing this 😬🏖🌊 do your kiddos like the beach?!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! 🌮🤍 This was the best Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! 🌮🤍 This was the best pic I could snag as I was running out the door for my girls night tonight 💃🏼🤪 I hope y’all are having a great week! Any fun plans?!
Things I love: these two 🥺😍 and this @hooray Things I love: these two 🥺😍 and this @hoorayheroes book! How did they do on re-making the cover? Maybe if @mason_meek2 would have waited just a couple more days to shave his beard 😜 This book is the sweetest gift idea for Father’s Day, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t shed a couple tears while customizing it online. 🥲 Now is the time to order your own & celebrate the special daddy in your little one’s life in time for Father’s Day!! #ad #sponsored
My main squeeze 🍋 helping me turn these lemons My main squeeze 🍋 helping me turn these lemons into lemonade while we’re still moving over here in the Meek household 📦 I guess it’s one of the pros AND cons of buying a house 2 minutes down the road... it feels like it’s taking foreverrr to get all our stuff moved in & organized. I’ve never actually read/watched Tidying Up, but I’m ready to Marie Kondo our entire house. 😂 Anyone else currently living in boxes?! 🤪
Give thanks in ALL circumstances, not just pleasan Give thanks in ALL circumstances, not just pleasant ones. [SAVE this post for when you’re needing a little encouragement] 👆🏻I read that in The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. She and her sister Betsie were in a concentration camp — filled with mold, lice, fleas, and minimal food/clothing. By the grace of God, they made it through without their bible being taken, and there was one part in the book where they were reading 1 Thessalonians 5:18, which says to "give thanks in all circumstances," and they began praying. They even thanked the Lord for fleas, because "they were part of the place where God had put them." Wait a minute… When was the last time I thanked God for my own unpleasant circumstances? For the skipped naps? The takeout order that was completely wrong? All the moving boxes waiting to be unpacked or the headache that forces me to slow down? These all seem like a walk in the park compared to being in a concentration camp, yet I'm unwilling to give thanks for them. It's easy to give thanks when we recognize blessings, but what about in the waiting? The times when I feel far from The Lord, did I ever thank him for where he had put me in that moment? Just because we don’t hear an answer from God immediately, doesn’t mean he’s ignoring us (although, I'll be the first to tell you it can feel that way). It just means He’s got his own plan, and we have the beautiful opportunity to trust Him. 🤍
