Hurricane!

*Long post alert*

I’m not exactly certain what happened during the last two weeks. It’s all a blur!!
We prepped for the hurricane.
We left.
We spent time with family and homeschooled on the road.
We got to see my mom feeling pretty good and talked lots about how her experience with cancer changed us all.
One of my closest friends had life saving emergency surgery and I freaked out for her more than I even realized!
I left my older children in the upstate for a fun week.
I came back home and did all my hurricane clean up.
Our HOA scheduled & completed repairs (thank you!)!
I went back to my parents and got my kids, spent some time with my wonderful mother in law and aunt n uncle in law, spent some time with a good friend, saw my Granny who hasn’t been doing well (and it was an amazing day!!) and got to see my aunt who was doing an incredible job keeping my Granny in good spirits, got to spend some quality time with my brother and parents!
Then I came back home and threw the most incredible lifelong bestie a baby shower!
And then today, we are at home and everything is just back to normal!  And they are (to my delight!) so happy to be homeschooling today!

Am I enough?

       “Am I enough?”   This question plagues my day to day.   Every time I take on some new and daunting task, a series of questions that all come back to this plague my mind.   If I let it, the fear paralyzes me and I stop.   I never move any further.   I have to be willing to accept that I alone am not enough.   It is only then that I am able to move forward.   You see, for me, the truth is ingrained in my faith—I alone am not enough.   I can only get through the (at times seemingly absurd) tasks I have been called to if I trust in Christ to carry me through them.   2nd Corinthians 12: 9-10 tells us "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

Reflections on Praying with Paul

    While I have yet to make it past Chapter four in Praying with Paul (grace and peace, right?), I was challenged even before I finished the preface of the book.   According to D. A. Carson, one of the major problems within the Western Church is prayerlessness.   Ok, great.   I pray daily.   Clearly this doesn’t apply to me.   T he two pitfalls within the Western Christian church are too much activity that doesn’t include prayer and praying without a basis in the scriptures .   OK, maybe I do pray daily, but are my prayers as well thought out as they should be?   Are they too simplistic?   Do I focus too much on my own wants and needs? They aren’t always based in scriptures.   I rarely sit down with the Bible and pray a passage…clearly, I have a lot to learn.       The first action I took to try to improve my prayer life was beginning to create space.   (I write the word beginning , because truthfully, I st...

Working out with kids! #MOMLIFE

Working out with kids. Sometimes it's flawless. Other days it's nutty. Today it was flat out hysterical. I PLANNED to make you all a video of the killer moves in PiYo core. Instead, I gave up on filming just after the warm up. This is more entertaining anyways!  😂 # ENJOY
