Break my heart Lord for what breaks yours. I was shielded to the magnitude of G’s abuse at first. I saw what had happened, but I was excited our family was growing and the answer to a prayer we had prayed for months was here! I was also needed to help G heal, to […]
When I was really little I was infatuated with Michael Jordan. I wanted to play basketball just like him. I collected all the basketball cards I could and even a few baseball cards of his (I still have those- just waiting to get rich. 🤪) I even went to watch him play. I would pray […]
We were told in court last year before an entire room of lawyers by an opposing lawyer, “that we had one job.” Meaning we had one job to take care of him until he moved on. Partially, that was a true statement. We were to take care of him until.. (until when- we still aren’t […]
Mommas. Let them know it’s good to have muscles. Let them know we only exercise to be healthier, fitter, and to be able to run and play. Not to fit into a certain size or mold that’s on TV. Let them know that beauty comes from the heart and is kind and genuine. Let them […]

{Baby Soap} After, we got the call to pick G up we were told to swing by DSS first for paperwork and also a bag of items for him. The paperwork was our foster care agreement. And, then I was handed a duffle bag. Inside the bag had clothes someone had bought for a […]
“Follow me” Again, if you haven’t seen the @thechosentvseries download it now! It’s so good. The show portrays Jesus calling each of his disciples one by one. When he says, “Follow me” it will make your heart leap (my favorite so far is when he calls Matthew.) Tonight we saw a boat was stranded on […]
Spiritual Rest Part #2 • Stop working for your Father’s love. This is hard for me. So hard. I didn’t realize it was hard until I dug a little more into what Spiritual Rest actually is. It changes everything. As a former high school/ college athlete/ teacher/ momma it comes so natural just to hustle. […]
While we took a walk today around our neighborhood, I started to pray about everything going on right now in our country. How sided it seems- just all sorts of sides. I prayed for guidance in how to make a difference starting in my home. In the middle of praying Holy Spirits words entered into […]
A psychologist took a Polaroid picture of our family. She assessed G within our home for 4.5 hours one morning. She watched us cook breakfast, change him, play with both kids, and put him down for a nap (which was a struggle that day.) She took a Polaroid to put in our file so she […]
