it's true

by Karmen |

“they grow up right before your very eyes”
is what Precious always says 
it’s not just a cliche’ 
it’s true
just yesterday
I was pleading with the Lord for babies 
and tomorrow my oldest 
is graduating from Kindergarten 
our little farmer
 loves 
tractors
dirt
bugs 
and
fishing 
He has Cowboy Dan’s “old soul”
 seasoned way beyond his years
Here is a little of the wisdom he shared with his great aunt D when she visited our farm recently 

 “If you climb over a gate….
climb close to the post
 Never walk behind a horse that’s eatin’~
 The cow trail will always lead you back to the barn 
and
If you throw a mud-ball….
aim below the neck”

see why I am craZ in love with this lil’ fella?!

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
ATTENTION DREAMERS: are you ready? have you bee ATTENTION DREAMERS:

are you ready? 

have you been looking for a safe place to whisper your dreams out loud? 

we are keeping it small

so make plans to JOIN ME & some of my bravest friends for the first ever BOLD MOVES retreat ❤️

it’s time ✅

message me for more details
