Dolly’s 2nd Birthday Party at the Farm

We had so much fun at Dolly’s 2nd birthday party at the farm! If you ask how old she is, she will tell you “2 at the farm!” I still can’t believe…

WE’RE MOVING TO SOUTH CAROLINA! 📦🚚🏡 (di WE’RE MOVING TO SOUTH CAROLINA! 📦🚚🏡 (did you guess it from my last post?!)

There is a whole whirlwind of thoughts and emotions this time around. I have a feeling this will be our hardest move yet. 🥺

I’m excited for a fresh start & more adventures to be had! We will be in Columbia, which I’ve heard is known for being “2 hours from the mountains & 2 hours from the beach,” so I see lots of fun trips in our future.

I’m nervous to find a new church and community; to find a new house to call home and new neighbors to love on; to find another dance studio for my daughter, and go-to restaurants, parks and grocery stores; to search for holistic doctors and dentists all over again.

I’m heartbroken to leave our friends. They have become our family these past four years, and now we start the hunt all over again all while keeping up with long-distance friendships. (P.S. please come visit!!)

Ultimately, I’m very hopeful. When my husband’s job offer just kind of fell into our laps, it was a no-brainer that the Lord ordained every part of it. I know He will provide our every need, because He created us for such a time as this. His plan was for us to move.

He has opened up every door for us so far and has made it so easy for us to say “yes” in surrender as we follow His lead. 🤍

Do you choose a word of the year or set any New Ye Do you choose a word of the year or set any New Year’s resolutions? ✨ I used to think it was so cheesy, but even if my “word” only rings true for the first few months, I enjoy starting off every year in prayer over how the Lord is working in my heart that season.

The word I’ve chosen for this year is SURRENDER. 🙌🏻

When I looked up the definition, everything I found had negative connotations: to give up power, to submit to authority, to abandon, relinquish or resign. Almost as if you are weak, but there is strength in letting go. There’s a certain beauty in clothing yourself in humility and obedience.

Luke 9:23 says, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”

So that’s what we’re doing! We’re following God’s lead all the way to… 🤐

I’ll give you a hint: we flipped a coin & it landed on heads! 🪙

January is Sanctity of Human Life month, and with January is Sanctity of Human Life month, and with @marchforlife this weekend, I thought it was fitting to share some information on abortions, the impact they have on women & the many ways you can learn more or get involved. 👇🏻

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” - Psalm 139:13-14

All life is God-given, God-ordained & God-breathed. 2,363 innocent babies are killed through abortion every day in the US. Death should not be a solution to unplanned or unwanted pregnancies, poverty, suffering, abuse, rape, foster care, or a disability diagnosis.

I can’t even begin to imagine how traumatic an abortion is, but it will never erase or bring justice to the pain or suffering done to the mother. Nor should any baby have to bear the burden of their father’s sins. And to those who have gone through any of the trials listed above — you are not deemed unworthy of life because of your circumstances. No matter how a life was conceived, they are created in the image of God. 🤍

Women who experience unplanned pregnancies also deserve to experience unplanned joy. Our God is not a God of condemnation; but of love, hope, joy, forgiveness, restoration, comfort & peace.
