As I look back, I can see where I've been and where I still need to be. The goal is a deeper relationship with my Creator, however that looks! ๐ŸคŽ To know Him is to love Him. It will be fun to compare this video to one year from now:)
    I don't want to share all the pics here, sooooo -- I don't want to share all the pics here, sooooo -- head to my blog (link in bio) for the full set of "Snapshots from Winter."โ›…๏ธ ๐Ÿฉต Yesterday we turned the calendar over to February, which means weโ€™ve moved on to longer stretches of daylight and are thismuchcloser to spring. Not that Iโ€™m wanting to rush time or what God is doing โ€“ I know seasons of dormancy are necessary, but winter helps me appreciate the beauty of the other seasons. There is an added sweetness when we make it through the long-lasting inhale of the winter months.

    Mail Monday continues on! ๐Ÿ’Œ it may have been a chi Mail Monday continues on! ๐Ÿ’Œ it may have been a chilly walk to the mailbox, but I trust our letters will be received with warmth. Teaching my kids how to write a letter (and address an envelope) has been โญ๏ธ a very fun choice! โญ๏ธ I even have a Letter Writing Kit in my Etsy shop if that benefits you at all, including "20 letter writing prompts for kids." Letters = so so fun.
    A view from my Monday morning. The lists have been A view from my Monday morning. The lists have been made: groceries, meals assigned, and school lessons written. The appointments are recorded, childcare is assigned, my prayers are penned, and the only thing left is to trust. I don't have to carry the burdens of my heart. This is really hard for me times. Increasingly harder at other times. Can you relate?
    Don't be fooled, Motherhood isn't only picture per Don't be fooled, Motherhood isn't only picture perfect snapshots nor is it abounding in chaotic days. It's a gentle mix of a variety of behaviors, moments, experiences. IT'S ALSO FULL OF JOY! โœจโœจ When anxiety tries to tap me on my shoulder because the Enemy knows *my* weak spot, it's good for me to know what to do. (It's time to pull out the Word of God!) Always and forever thankful I don't have to hold all things together. That job is already being done ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸปI need this, I need this, I need *God.* Psalm 94:19 - When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
