Would it be faster to do it myself? Sure! Would it

Would it be faster to do it myself? Sure! Would it be done better? Absolutely. But what I would be doing is robbing my sweet baby of the blessing of serving and the joy that it brings her.
⠀⠀
My prayer as her mama is that I would always put her spiritual development over my own convenience. That I would let go of my pace and perfection and give her the space to learn. Kids will become what we foster in them! Teach them Responsibly. Teach them life skills. Teach them to serve, not because they are less than but because that is what we are called to do. Teach them Jesus 🤍

That will preach all day long. It’s so easy to

That will preach all day long. It’s so easy to get caught up in “throwing stones.” Justifying our sins and short-comings with the “at least I’m not as bad as she is” mindset. Comparing ourselves to others. Allowing jealousy and discontentment to settle into the achy places of our heart. Gossiping. And yes, even the things we think in the quiet places and may never say out loud.
⠀⠀
The Bible calls us to put our eyes on Jesus and Jesus only. Our main purpose for relationally interacting with others should be to love and serve so that they might meet Jesus through knowing us. When Jesus knew His crucifixion was coming, He wasn’t worried about enjoying the final moments. He chose to wash feet, one of the most basic and honestly nasty ways to serve others. A beautiful act of humility.
⠀⠀
I admit this is an area that I am working on in my own life, and Jesus is taking me on a journey with it. My prayer is that I would look at people and see the need for their feet to be washed. To seek practical ways to love and serve. Because if I am focusing on serving, I’m not focusing on judging.
⠀⠀
Tell me, is this an area of struggle for you too? I’d love to pray for you and your journey!

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”- Mark 10:45

I just finished up this 5 week study and it did no

I just finished up this 5 week study and it did not disappoint. If you have ever struggled to see the big picture of scripture and how it all connects, especially if the Old Testament has been an issue for you, I would highly recommend this one. Even as a seasoned believer, I feel like I learned so much and was really brought deeper into the heart of God. I needed this peace in the midst of our crazy time, and I’m betting sister that you do too (shout out- they even have a men’s version...and you can get them as a bundle!).
This particular study and tons of others are on sale for just $5️⃣ right now! Skip a #starbucks trip and invest in your spiritual life. I promise you won’t be sorry. #selfcare at it’s finest! 😌

Seeing their friendship develop makes my mama hear

Seeing their friendship develop makes my mama heart burst. Gosh, I love them so much. 🤍🤍

If you know, you know. I know I’m not the only p

If you know, you know. I know I’m not the only person who did this. After a year of not going anywhere that I couldn’t wear leggings and a T-shirt to, a closet full of clothing that I haven’t worn in almost 2 years (pregnancy + pandemic) and a body that has been changed by my second pregnancy and postpartum depression medications, it took everything in me to find something I felt like I could wear to church. If I’m being honest, I was frustrated. There was a big part of me that wanted to say “forget it,” & watch church on the TV instead. Everyone was going to be in their Easter best, and all I could find that fit right was a cute T-shirt and a cardigan. I was tempted to let my anxiety and self-consciousness win. That’s what the devil wanted for me yesterday.
⠀⠀
But let me tell you about Jesus! He knew that I needed to see my community. He knew that I needed to hug my Brothers and sisters in Christ. He knew that I needed corporate worship. He knew that I needed to listen to a live sermon. He knew that my kids needed to get back into church now that that was an option. So He spoke to me through my three-year-old. Every time I tried on a shirt, she would say “you look so beautiful, Mommy!” And eventually I decided that I would listen to that small voice that Jesus was using. It may have been 30 minutes later than planned, but I loaded up my girls and took them to church. And I’m so very glad that I did! It was exactly what my soul needed, and I could feel a burden lifting as I stood in that barn and worshiped with my family.
⠀⠀
Maybe you can relate. Maybe your closet won and you stayed home yesterday. Maybe your anxiety over what the well-dressed people at church will think of you has been keeping you at home for years. I get it, even as a pastor‘s wife it can be a struggle. I’m here to tell you, go to church anyway. Even if it’s in a ratty T-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. Go. And if the church that you choose makes you feel anything less than precious and valued, it’s time to find a different church. Jesus does not care one bit about the clothing you have on! He died for your heart and that is the only thing that matters. 🤍 #youmatter #jesus
