Walking into 39 weeks with this amazing man by my side and this precious boy in my tummy! 🥰 Finally coming to the finish line and couldn’t be more excited! I’ve been thinking a lot about preparing for every new season that God brings to our life, which I’ll be writing about very soon! 🌿 But for now, I think I’ll just enjoy these last few moments of peace. ♥️ Praying for your and your changing seasons, friends. Love in Christ!

Waiting periods are hard...especially when you know can see the end in sight. It’s as if time suddenly decided to move like molasses just to test your patience 😑 The end of my pregnancy has made me feel like that. I’m so ready to get to the finish line and reap the reward of growing a baby for 9 months that I’ve started to get kinda lazy these last few weeks. It seems like no matter what I do, or how hard I work this waiting period will never end. But that’s just the way life works every, doesn’t it? We hurry up just to wait, which can cause us to sometimes fall in a “waiting period rut”. And it’s in these ruts that we tend to start slacking. We get bored and without realizing it, we start to give up a little. But deep down that’s not what we really want. If we take a step back and look at the big picture, we’ll quickly realize that we don’t want to be stuck in a rut, just waiting on the next important moment to come our way. No. Deep down we want to mature. We’ve heard enough songs to know that it’s not the destination, but the journey that really impacts our hearts. So, friends, today let’s decide to make our journey towards our best new self worth every moment. It’s my prayer that we would both make the committed decision to stand up and step out of the tired rut we’ve been sitting in. Let’s get back on track and allow God to use every single one of our days for His glory! ♥️ Praying for your today and always, friends. Love in Christ!

Happy Anniversary to us!! ♥️ I can’t believe how quickly 2 years has flown by! Looking back, I realize how many lessons I’ve learned in my second year of marriage. Selflessness being one of the biggest. Training your brain to think about how you can love your spouse better, rather than how they can could love you better isn’t easy. But after studying 1 Corinthians 13 last month, I’ve felt overwhelming conviction to love in this way. The words of “The Love Chapter” reiterate how the importance of shifting our mindset from putting ourself first to putting others first (without hidden agendas or expectations). In doing so, it strengthens both our walk with Christ, and the overall health of our relationships. So, for all these reasons and more, I’ve decided that during year three of marriage, my primary focus will be maturing spiritually in order to love Andrew and our future son the way God intended - both selflessly and intentionally 🥰 What about you? What lessons have you learned that have helped better yours and your significant others relationship? I’d love to hear!✨Praying for you today and always, friends!
