I'm a little frazzled. I didn't order enough Christmas cards. I've missed a doctor appointment for the kids. I've mixed up babysitting days. And it's only the 5th.

Oh, December.

But I was able to chaperone Emerson's first field trip and hold her hand on her first school bus ride. The picture is blurry but to me it's priceless. Thank you Jesus for letting me be present for this moment.


Oh guys, I want so bad to enjoy this month. I want to savor the sacredness of the season. I want so much to be intentional in every way with the kids to point them to the Savior. But I'm being pushed to my limit - and a baby and a job add to the busy this year. I'm asking God for a strength I don't have - so I can pour into others, serve others, and minister to others.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26
