Let’s Be Friends!

Well friends, we’ve officially moved! Last week

Well friends, we’ve officially moved! Last week was a whirlwinddddd to say the least but we are all settled into our new home now and my heart is full of thankfulness. Our neighbors have been so kind and I love our new location. God has blessed us immensely with this home and I can’t wait to raise little Noah in it for the time that we are here. 💗
.
Speaking of moving, my Moving Tips YouTube video will go live today at 1pm! It’s packed full of hacks to save money and make life easier when moving.
Don’t forget to check it out and share it with a friend who is moving soon 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone! ☀️

We had a much needed little getaway these last few

We had a much needed little getaway these last few days. It was our last mini vacation just the two of us before baby boy joins us 💙 I really value time with Luke; whether it be a date night, a walk in our neighborhood, or a little getaway. All of it is so important for a healthy marriage and I’m so thankful we were able to relax and enjoy each other’s company in Southern California this week.
.
Next up: bestie in town, meeting another bestie’s new baby girl 😍, both siblings and their spouses and my nephew in town which only happens once a year at best, an out of town wedding I’m a bridesmaid in, and moving! All within a 9 day span 😅 All exciting things but we will be busy! What’s on your agenda for the week? I pray peace and joy for us all! 💗

Luke and I hadn’t bought a single baby thing yet

Luke and I hadn’t bought a single baby thing yet for our sweet boy so we made a date of it and shopped for a couple baby outfits today ☺️💙 The more I feel and see him moving around in my belly, the more real it becomes that our little man will be joining us so soon. I’m #24weeks and #6monthspregnant now and time feels like it’s flying. We are so thankful for this blessing ❤️

“Be joyfully obedient to what is before you. Tha

“Be joyfully obedient to what is before you. That is what we are called to do.”
.
Allie Beth Stuckey said this in a podcast of hers I was listening to on my road trip home from Spokane last weekend. In context, she was speaking about how we shouldn’t feel the overwhelming pressure to change the world ourselves right here right now, but rather be obedient to God by glorifying Him through the work we already have set before us. For me, this could look like serving in my church, doing housework, tutoring students, writing for my blog and creating video content for my YouTube, and in the very near future taking care of my newborn baby. You might look at these tasks and think they aren’t significant or impactful, but God can and IS using me to have a significant impact on my small circle of people around me. By accomplishing this work, my church can continue to grow and help others to know and love Jesus, my home can be a clean and relaxing environment for my husband to decompress in after long 12 hour shifts, my students can progress in their knowledge and have someone who cares for them and prays over their lives, my blog and YouTube audience can be impacted through the content I share, and my son can grow up knowing the Lord and seeing firsthand what it looks like for mom and dad to love and serve the Lord.
.
It may look like small, mundane tasks, but God uses us right where He has us. So don’t get me wrong, if God is calling you to something BIG, by all means you should follow His will for your life, but don’t be discouraged if you feel you are not having an impact for His Kingdom in your small circle, because He can use you right where you’re at.

Life Update!
.
Hi friends 👋🏻 It has been a longggg time since I’ve updated you on my life. I started my blog and this instagram account back in January 2017 and many of you who have been along for the ride feel like family to me 💕 So for those of you who are interested, I want to share the “in a nutshell” version of what’s been happening in my life these past few months. And if you want the longer, more detailed version, I’ve filmed a life update video that is going live on my YouTube channel next week 😊 I’ll let you know in my stories when you can watch it, but for now here’s the nutshell version 🙃
.
-I finished my 2nd year of teaching third grade at LCS about a week ago and will not be returning next year (bittersweet but I can’t wait to be a Momma 🥰)
-We are having a BOY! 💙 I’m now 22 weeks pregnant and can’t wait to meet our precious son in October 🥰
-Luke is on the certified hiring list for a large fire department (can’t say which one yet) and is working through a series of pass/fail tests which has been a grueling process. If he passes all 5, he will be hired on probationary terms for the first year and will complete a 3 month long academy. If he completes that year successfully, he will no longer be a probationary firefighter 🎉
-We are moving! Just about 30 minutes away from where we live now, but we are so excited to move out of our 1 bedroom apartment into a larger rental house that will better accommodate Luke, myself, Chloe, and our baby ☺️ Chloe is especially excited because we will have a big yard 🐶😁
-Now that I’m done teaching, I will be pursuing part time work that I can do from home. Right now I’m deciding between tutoring and virtual assistant work (or maybe both!) but I haven’t officially started yet. And of course, I will continue to work on my blog and YouTube until one day those make enough to supplement our income without having to do other part-time work (unless it’s something I feel called to do).
.
And those are the biggies! We’ve had a lot going on these past few months but man alive has the Lord been so good to us. I ALWAYS believe the Lord is good, through joy and sorrow, and He has been our rock. Praise His name!
