To my Lefe’s:

I love you.

Looking at the photos above, I’m reminded how April was a full month for our family. We have much to be thankful for!

Liss, you’re growing up to be such a beautiful woman on the inside and out. It’s hard to believe you’re going to be 20 this month! I am proud of the woman you are and who you are becoming. You’ve demonstrated maturity, responsibility, and wisdom. Thank you for attending BSF faithfully with me this year. You made my Wednesday mornings and lunchtimes something to look forward to. I’m going to miss this these next few months. Finish this semester strong, smart girl. God is blessing you in so many ways. I’m glad I get to have a ring-side seat for it all. Your momma loves you!

Z-Man, you will always be my “little” boy. April was such a busy month for you. Show choir ending with Curtain Call, soccer games in full swing, prom, school work, and your active social schedule. I couldn’t be more proud of you for how you are balancing everything. I love watching you perform on stage, on the field, and in life. God has blessed you with wonderful talents and abilities, and you are using them well! You are responsible, caring, smart, and trustworthy. Keep doing your best and finish this school year strong. I’m cheering you on, every step of the way. I love you!

Bill, you amaze me. What you do for our family, and how you show us love are incredible gifts. You provide for our family in so many ways. Often you’re tired and worn out, but you never complain. You give of yourself daily to me, to the kids, to everyone around you. You’ve supported me and encouraged me more than anyone else through this transition in my life. You let me be me, and you allow God to mold me into the woman He desires me to be. God knew what He was doing when He brought you into my life 23 years ago in April. I thank God every day for you! I love you dearly!

Already three days into this month of May, I know we’ll be creating more beautiful memories together. And I can’t wait. You three are my world. Let’s make May 2014 one of our best months ever together!

(A & Z, please continue to make smart choices. Please continue to seek God daily and His will for your lives. Please continue to hold true to your roots. Please don’t text and drive. Please continue to do your best in all areas of your life. Your momma is praying for you daily!)

I love you!

Your Mom and Wife 🙂

    What a beautiful note to your family. You’ve inspired me to journal more of the things going on in my kids lives so I will remember those moments. Time moves so fast! Lovely looking family.

      Thank you, Abby! I wish I would have begun doing more of this when our children were little. Time seems to be moving quicker than ever in my life, and probably yours too. I’m glad this inspired you. I appreciate you stopping by today!

Some women believe surrendering is stifling, or restrictive, or demeaning. Nothing could be more untrue.

When we surrender our will and lives to Jesus, it's then when we find true, abundant life.

What's one area of life you can surrender into His capable hands today?

For more, listen to episode 205 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast.

I used to think surrender was scary.
Now I know what’s really scary…
Me in charge of everything. 😂

Surrender isn’t giving up—it’s getting peace.
Getting direction.
Getting the abundant life I couldn’t create on my own.

Here’s your permission to stop carrying what you weren’t meant to hold. 🙌

Listen to episode 205 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast for more on this subject.

Are we holding on tightly or letting go?

Abundant life is a free life- living, breathing, and trusting God has everything under control.

Comment AMEN if you agree.

I hear numerous women say they want to grow their relationship with God, but they aren't sure where to begin.

Sound familiar? 

It's not complicated or difficult. Try these rhythms for yourself and watch your relationship with God grow.

Which one speaks the most to you?

Control was never meant to be our burden. 😬

We'll allow God to be in charge instead. (Because really, who are we fooling thinking we're in control, anyway?) 😉

Add your favorite emoji if you agree. 😊

Just a reminder…

Your worth isn’t measured by your productivity, your title, your home, or your highlight reel.

You are valuable because you belong to the One who made you.

That’s it. That’s everything. 💛

You don’t have to do more, be more, or rush harder to live fully.

Sometimes abundant life is hidden in the slow, ordinary moments—
where peace meets presence and grace waters your soul.

✨ This moment? It counts.
