Afternoon sun⁣ ⁣ Warm light trickles in⁣ Dark corners sparkle⁣ My plants leaves shine brighter⁣ Stretching arms toward the source⁣ ⁣ Usually this time of year, I am racing toward the end of the school year, with state assessments, events, making of plans and rush to wrap up the semester. I don’t think I have gotten to enjoy the small moments of spring like this and maybe I won’t ever again. ⁣ ⁣ #springmoments #notice #Spring2020

I was close to tears almost everyday last week. I feel weak and vulnerable in a lot of ways. I think that is what grief and trauma do to you. ⁣ ⁣ The comfort in all of this is that we are not alone. We are in this together. Friends showing up for one another, more FaceTime with family, joy in the small moments of community. Joy in the little things like homemade lattes and farm fresh eggs. By this I know God has not left us. He is among us in this moment. ⁣ ⁣ Some days I am clinging to the threads of truth, of the abundance of His steadfast love and grace. It isn’t easy and it isn’t perfect. ⁣ ⁣ #onedayatatime #Godsabundance #quarantineday21

Between a surprise delivery before school, celebrating at school with my students, cake and dinner with friends, and a trip to Manhappiness to introduce someone to college Larissa, I am on cloud nine! 🥰🥰🥰⁣ ⁣ There have been plenty of years that have failed to live up to those crazy expectations that I have, but this one exceeded and blew away what I thought my birthday should be. 🎂⁣ ⁣ This year has taught me, God is so so extremely faithful even when I am not and when I doubt. God abundantly blesses because he loves me. Not because I have earned it or figured it out or arrived! God’s way is often surprising and even better than I imagine or plan! AND life is so much better because of the hard days, challenges and ways that God disrupts me in my settling what the world has to offer. Finally, even when change is good and for the best, it isn’t easy and it won’t suddenly be normal, and that’s okay. It’s okay to slowly settle in and figure out who I am in this new season. ⁣ ⁣ #birthday #bestisyettocome #onemoreyear #Godisfaithful

Slowly, I am making this apartment home. Slowly, I am finding my footing in a new season. This wall reminds me of all the ways that God has given me the fullness of joy in this last year. • • ⁣ “The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.⁣ The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.⁣ ⁣ I bless the LORD who gives me counsel;⁣ in the night also my heart instructs me.⁣ I have set the LORD always before me;⁣ because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.⁣ ⁣ Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.⁣ For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,⁣ or let your holy one see corruption.⁣ ⁣ You make known to me the path of life;⁣ in your presence there is fullness of joy;⁣ at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”⁣ Ps. 16:5-11⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #goodness #seasons #joy #home

Fancy date night and then cooking on NYE, no better way to end a decade! We both made it through a pretty crazy semester full of new things, so this is how we celebrate! #fancydatenight #nye2020

Family Christmas! Honestly don’t mind that I sleep in the basement and they all don’t let me sleep too late! ⁣ ⁣ The new reality is that it really is all about the kiddos! I loved that we just gave books for Christmas and the kids loved it and immediately wanted to read them. I love that Wilson sat and read to the younger ones. I loved that the older boy cousins were all about Opal this year! I loved that they played outside for “hours”! I love that Oscar and Henry want to tell me something every 5 minutes or that I got asked for cookies many times! (Aunt Relissa would totally win Christmas if she just said yes every single time!!! 😉) ⁣ ⁣ It’s chaos for a few days but it’s so fun to see them all be cousins!🥰 ⁣ ⁣ #christmas2019 #SpareFamily #auntrelissa
