As of late
Gosh, our house is just tooooo small for us. I mean, three humans and two cats living in this tiny thing? 🙄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Obvi not my house but a girl can dream.Pretty typical of us to not get a photo on a big day for our family, but I guess that’s not what really matters. Here we are, back home, in our comfies after celebrating the dedication of our sweet Campbell to Jesus and the church. We vowed to raise her up to follow Jesus through the example of our own obedience as her parents. We wrote a little prayer to her and here are some of my favorite words: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Our prayer is that you learn to believe in Jesus. That you listen to Him. That you obey Him. That you find comfort in Him. We pray that your confidence comes from Christ alone. We pray for the desire for God’s word be rooted deep in your heart. We pray that your worth only comes from the truth of who God says you are. We pray your love for others outshines your love for yourself. We pray that you develop a Christ-centered character that does what is right over what is popular. We pray that grace and obedience follows you all the days of your life. Love, Mama & Daddy” #countingthejoy #ccfreewriteSame wall, same baby, VERY different ankle size 🤘🏼 #praisejesushallelujahamenI’ve found I grow really, really tired when I try to use my marriage to fill up my soul.

They aren’t cute. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s funny how I expect my marriage to do something it’s absolutely incapable of doing. Marriage was never meant to save us. Yet, we think, once I get married, or for some, once I have a baby, or once I get that promotion, or once we’re out of debt—THEN I’ll be ____. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏼 Learning every day that nothing fills the soul like the One who created it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Your salvation requires you to turn back to me and stop your silly efforts to save yourselves. Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me...” Isaiah 30:15-
