Getting Real: An Attempt to Refocus

An Attempt to Refocus

I'm gonna try to record daily (gonna go ahead and say that is probably not going to happen....) something about God's character that I am thankful for and/or in awe of. I am fighting for joy right now in the midst of hard, long days with little ones and being beat up by the evil one's lies. We'll see how it goes! I have found it nearly impossible right now to have a structured time of prayer and Bible reading. Instead of trying to try harder to make that happen, I am going to try to talk with Jesus in the moments of daily life more, and really try to refocus my thoughts on the character of God and all that I am in Christ. I need to practice receiving what is already mine!

About Me

Hello! I am a woman who loves relationships...especially deep ones. I love talking for hours over a cup of coffee or some ice cream. I love being outside, reading a good novel, and if I were to be honest...I love getting into a good argument. For more than 5 years now, I have been married to the most tender, humble, faithful man I've known, and we have one very active, friendly, fun toddler. I am thankful to be living my dream of spending my days taking care of our son, helping my husband, caring for our home, visiting with friends, and learning how to rest well. I also work a few days a month as a registered nurse at Children's Hospital...and I love that I am able to do that to keep my foot in the "work outside the home world" while also helping out my family financially just a little bit. We are members of Christ Community Church, PCA, a new church plant in Helena, AL. To say that we are grateful for our church family would be the understatement of the year! We are so blessed to be a part of a community where we are loved and accepted as we are because of the Gospel, yet pushed lovingly toward growth as we share life with our church family. We are so undeserving of all of these gifts, and so very blessed.
