The peaceful moments after a soothing scalp massage.

Y’all.. we started one on one dates with Jackson (cause, you know, the whole new baby and attention thing). Saturday was my turn. He asked if Ashlyn could come with us! This coming Saturday is Joseph’s turn, and Jackson asked the same thing. This time he suggested family dates! Best. Big. Brother. Ever. I can’t even with this kid. He can be a touch of crazy on the energy side, but he also has the biggest heart.

Last post.. promise! Jackson has told me several times this morning how much he loves his room. Makes my heart happy ❤️ He doesn’t want to leave it, so LEGO robot building is our big activity this morning!

Our church has made two big “Missional Moves” in the last 7 years. Missional Move #1: what Joseph and I put in financially was doubled in a way that only God could have orchestrated. Missional Move #2: we upped our game and all of our (very expensive) needs were met that year when they shouldn’t have been! Once again, they were met in a way that only God could have orchestrated. I could give you all of the specifics for how He moved in those ways that would leave you astonished, but you know what? The financial provision pales in comparison to the story that has been built along the way. We have taken new ground. We have seen God Move. We have experienced His Presence. We have discovered more of who we are, who He is, and what we were created to do. We planted ourselves in this church home 7 years ago and I am so glad we did. Finances can be stripped from us in a second, but our story never will. What’s next? We keep pressing forward. We take new ground for others to enjoy and for the glory of God. The ground we take today will become our children’s inheritance. I don’t want to raise my kids to be settlers. I want to raise my kids to be Pioneers! Missional Move #3: bring it on! #ifollowthecloud @valleycreek @josephelder

And that’s a wrap! Swipe for the bed and the before picture 👉🏼 This process made me feel a little like @joannagaines with my dad being @clintharpofficial I gave him an idea for the bed and he knocked it out of the park! We so enjoyed creating this room for Jackson! @josephelder

This guy.. he’s my best friend. At the hospital, Jackson kept telling Ashlyn how beautiful she was. A nurse who noticed this said, “he must have a good daddy at home.” That nurse nailed it! Jackson knows how to be loving towards his sister because he sees this man doing it for me on a daily basis. He’s pretty awesome. I am beyond blessed 🤗 Love you, babe.

Jackson: what are you doing, mom? Me: spending time with God where I write my prayers to him. Jackson: can I write I love you to him? Me: of course, bud! So he wrote “i❤️u” and his name so “God would know it’s from Jackson.” My heart can’t even handle it 🥰

I love this quote so much from our lead pastor. No matter what area in your life has left you disappointed, don’t allow that to become your expectation for tomorrow. If those disappointments do become your expectations, you will become paralyzed. Instead, raise your expectations to God’s goodness so you can have faith and courage to pioneer what tomorrow holds! @valleycreek
