My three year old has become something of an expert in the art of ‘selective doing’—a term we created to describe her fluctuating willingness to follow our instructions. If she approves of the outcome she will most likely obey without any fuss, but if she doesn’t—well let’s just say it can be quite a process getting her to follow through! ⠀ 156 12
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29 (NIV)⠀ 162 4

Young, terrified, and completely unaware of what was coming our way, we tied the knot in a simple wedding that was made special by the efforts of the people we love. We had nothing to spend, and literally everything that made our wedding beautiful came as a generous gift from someone. At that time, I knew almost nothing about selflessness, and I would venture to say that I knew almost nothing about love either. My first years as a married woman were rough, but God graciously wed me to a man who is literally formed of loyalty, humility, and servant-heartedness beneath a steady and strong exterior, a blessing that brings me to tears when I think of how well he has loved me and my imperfections with reckless abandon.⠀ 166 3
Confession: I hate road trips. I do. My 3 little kids actually seem fine with them and my husband loves them but I dread them. Is it the turning around every 20 seconds to provide snacks and to “mom look at this” that drives me crazy? Is it the slight motion sickness I seem to have developed over the years? The confinement? The endless bathroom breaks? ⠀ 163 6
