My bestie is back in the states after living on th

My bestie is back in the states after living on the other side of the world for the past 10 months 🎉💗😭 #YAY. But sadly, now with the lockdown in place, I can’t see her for who knows how long 😭
.
It’s still hard to believe this is real life. I know everyone has been going through all kinds of difficulties because of the virus and I’m not using this platform to complain. I just want to say that it’s okay to be upset about the circumstances. God knows our hearts and we can lean on Him and tell him our frustrations. He cares. .
Luke and I had a trip planned to Hawaii for the first time together this spring and obviously it’s now canceled. This would have been our last trip together before our lives are forever changed (more news to come on that later 🤗) My parents have been planning a trip to France for next month, their first time going to Europe, and obviously that’s now canceled. And sadly, both my parents and my husband and I have trips planned to go visit our family and grandson/nephew in Canada in the upcoming months and as of now, the border is closed. My nephew is my parent’s first grandchild and he’s turning 1
next month. My parents have only been spent time with him on 2 occasions and they won’t be able to see him at this age again.
.
So, like I said, times are hard right now. Nothing about this is normal and it’s hard not to be frustrated and upset about the circumstances. But that’s just it, it’s okay to be upset. God knows what you are feeling. He knows what you are experiencing. And most of all, He cares. Friend, your feelings are valid. And the best thing you can do is talk to the Lord about them. Pour out your heart and let Him fill you with the peace that surpasses all understanding. You may still feel upset, and that’s completely understandable, but you’ll know that God is taking care of you.
.
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:6-7 NLT

Really thankful I got to hit the slopes twice this

Really thankful I got to hit the slopes twice this year before they shut down because of Covid-19. It’s been HARD adjusting to all the changes that have been made. It seems like each day brings some new change and for someone like me who thrives on a routine and a schedule, it’s been rough. How are you handling all the changes? And if you’re sick of talking about it, I understand!! It’s okay, you don’t have to 😊

As a third grade teacher, navigating the waters of

As a third grade teacher, navigating the waters of educating online because of government mandated school closures has been a learning experience to say the least. We started teaching our students online yesterday and will continue to do so for the next 6 weeks, or maybe even longer. It’s been a huge time of change and happened abruptly, having to send our students home Thursday afternoon with all their learning materials just minutes after finding out school would be closed for the next 6 weeks. HOWEVER, despite all this change, I am so grateful for the grace and encouragement I’ve received from many parents, the support I’ve felt from administration, and most importantly God, who is the foundation and rock that I can lean on in these scary and demanding times of change. I cling to the knowledge and hope that God knew this would happen LONG before we did, in fact there wasn’t a time that He didn’t know this would happen, and we can cling to Him to be all that we need. That gives me peace that surpasses all understanding and a grateful heart. ❤️ If you need prayer, let me know. I’d love to pray for you!

I love the snow and all but I can’t wait for sun

I love the snow and all but I can’t wait for sunshine, warmer weather, and longer days! Who else has struggled going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark? 🙋🏼‍♀️ It can really take a toll on mental health. I’m so excited to go hiking, biking, swimming, and all the fun warmer weather activities this spring/summer. Just 1 more week until daylight savings and 1 more hour of light in the evenings ☀️😍 Who else is excited for spring and warmer weather?! 🤗

Happy ❤️ day to my one and only! I thank Jesus every day for you and the fact that I got to marry my best friend. #loveyouinfinity

I love this picture because it so sweetly depicts

I love this picture because it so sweetly depicts serving one another within marriage. From something as simple as warming cold hands to something much more sacrificial, marriage requires 100% effort from both people in the relationship. It’s not 50/50 and one person doesn’t complete the other. It’s 100% sacrifice, service, and unconditional love from both people that makes a marriage work. What is the most important lesson you’ve learned from your relationship/marriage? 👇🏻

YUM! 😋 This dinner was one of my husband’s favorites from the week. For those of you who watched my #budgetmealplan video featuring @budgetbytes meal plan about a month ago, this is one of the delicious meals from week 4 of the omnivore plan.

I have been LOVING these meals and even more so I’ve been loving how CHEAP my grocery bill has been each week 🎉

These past couple weeks, I feel like either life h

These past couple weeks, I feel like either life has been extra challenging coincidentally or Satan is trying to get a hold on me. Either way, when I feel tested, I have two choices. I can either take on a negative mindset and let that effect me big time. OR I can pray, give my burdens and anxiety to the Lord, and rest in His goodness. I don’t have to be perfect. I don’t have to prove myself to others. As long as I know I’m doing my absolute best and I’m right with the Lord, I can rest in the knowledge that Jesus will take care of the rest and will give me the strength to carry on. If you’re in the same boat, you can find rest and peace in the Lord too. Just ask 💗 P.S. I love this man! He makes my days better too and always knows how to cheer me up 🥰

Here’s your daily dose of cuteness 🤗 I hope you all had both a restful and productive weekend. I know Mondays are tough and usually the least favorite day of the week, but I encourage you to think of 5 things to be thankful for going into tomorrow. It will really help change your mindset 👍🏻 I’ll go first 🙃 1) I’m thankful I have a job 2) I’m thankful for my students who constantly make me laugh 3) I’m thankful to be surrounded by encouraging, positive, Christian coworkers 4) I’m looking forward to Bible study tomorrow with some of my favorite ladies 5) It’s supposed to be SUNNY ☀️ which always makes me happy 😊

Now it’s your turn! What are you thankful for as you head into Monday? 🤗👇🏻

We have the weekend off together 🎉 (the struggle of working opposite schedules) so we’re taking advantage of the break in the constant rain we’ve had lately to get outside and enjoy fresh air and exercise 🙂 I love where we live but the winter’s can be rough with all the gloomy, gray days. So when it’s not raining, you take advantage of it 🙌🏻 What are you looking forward to doing today? 👇🏻

Hey friend, It’s okay to be in a place where you

Hey friend,
It’s okay to be in a place where you’re praying for God to give you a heart of contentment because it isn’t coming naturally. It’s okay to not love, or even like your current situation because sometimes God has us in a place that isn’t what we’re hoping for, but he’s growing and guiding us through it.
.
Some people will tell you that you should live your dreams and stop at nothing to get there. But the reality is sometimes you don’t get to dictate every aspect of life. Some things are just out of your control. And more importantly, I encourage you to first ask God what His plan is for you, because we can make plans in our hearts but the Lord’s plan will prevail. (Proverbs 19:21) These past 3 years have been a testament to that in my life.
.
Life’s been hard. There have been lots of tears and disappointment lately. It’s certainly not what I had pictured. But I know that God’s plan is more important than my own, and even if I never understand His plan in this lifetime, it’s okay. I still have my hope in something FAR greater than anything this lifetime could offer. And that makes every hardship and struggle endured worth it.
.
So, dear friend, if you’re in the same struggle boat as me, take heart. God CARES. He loves you. He’ll help you through your difficult season. And the best part of all, it’s just a season. We have so much more to look forward to ✨
