For a while, it felt like this funky feeling that I couldn’t shake. I could pass it off as “too busy” or just the “winter blues” but it didn’t go away. Ultimately it meant making a change and taking a step of faith toward something new. Even though I knew that this was right move, it wasn’t easy to keep going. And honestly at times I wasn’t sure where I would end up next year! ⁣ ⁣ This summer is one of big changes. Moving, new babies, and travel. And leaving, a job, a work family of 10 years for a new classroom adventure! ⁣ It felt very timely that the group graduating this year was my last group of students at TMS. So thankful for all that I have learned in the last 10 years and the colleagues, families and students I have had the privilege to work with. But also, so excited for the new ones. ⁣ #larissassummerofchange #newthings #hardchoices #stepsoffaith ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣

Tired eyes, but full hearts after a week of #youthcamp with a bunch of teens! So glad, I live a life where I can spend a week care free with some awesome kids and some of my favorite people! I am always blown away by how God can use a week like this to encourage my heart just as he does with the kids! #canitakeanapnow #redeemerkcstudentministry #redeemerkc #camplife

Here I am, sitting in a coffeeshop on the first day of my summer break. My hair needs a hair cut, my eyes are tired. I definitely feel a little like I was run over by a bus. I am so thankful for a job that provides me with space to rest. ⁣ ⁣ Summers spent working on passion projects in coffeeshops are necessary to renew my heart and mind. If I have learned anything these last 6 months, it is that, setting intentions for joy opens the doors for God to overflow my cup. ⁣ ⁣ #summer #podcast #hopewriters #larissassummerofabundance #joy #rest #renewal

Anticipation of the day⁣ When the peonies bloom⁣ When the little bud opens⁣ To become a fist full⁣ Of petals⁣ ⁣ Showing off their life⁣ In their own time⁣ ⁣ To remind us⁣ That spring ⁣ As come again⁣ ⁣ To cheer our hearts⁣ During a busy month⁣ Of endings ⁣ ⁣ To fill vases ⁣ And gardens⁣ With soft, glorious, color⁣ ⁣ Arriving just when we needed⁣ A reminder of what⁣ Results in waiting⁣ ⁣ #poem #hopewriters #peonies #poetry #spring #waiting #blooming #flowers #blooms

For those that⁣ Deserve more than a day⁣ For all the unnoticed⁣ Or unacknowledged⁣ Ways you have loved⁣ those entrusted to you⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Had littles and they have grown⁣ And you feel on the outside⁣ Of their lives⁣ Or unwanted by them⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Ache with a longing⁣ Unmet and unanswered⁣ That grows stronger⁣ Or more painful⁣ As the years turn⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Have a broken or tenuous⁣ With the one⁣ Meant for this day⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Are tired and worn out⁣ By the mundane days⁣ Filled with snacks⁣ And laundry⁣ And little sleep⁣ ⁣ For those that ⁣ Celebrated this day once⁣ But now grieve ⁣ And mourn ⁣ Because she isn’t here ⁣ To accept the flowers⁣ Or read your card⁣ ⁣ This day is heavy ⁣ with emotion⁣ With meaning⁣ With pain⁣ With joy⁣ With reality⁣ ⁣ You are seen⁣ And loved ⁣ And not forgotten⁣ ⁣ #poem #mothersday #hopewriters #mothers #mom #notamom #poetry

In a season when all things swing from being “fine” to too much so easily, this double full rainbow was reminder on a platter of God’s promise to me. It was a clear word to my heart tonight. Not just a little picture but a full double rainbow declaring the abundance and fullness of God. #doublerainbow #fullrainbow #Godspromise
