married

10 blissful years later

we were blessed with

24 months later

we were surprised by

jr

my heartache for home

to be with our little rascals

fast becoming unbearable

fast-forward to

January 2012

the decision for me

to leave the corporate world,

the public school arena

come home

to mother and teach OURS

insert a casual conversation Cowboy Dan+me+ friends

late summer of last year

chit-chatting possibilities &

“whats if’s”

add to the equation a few months of steadfast prayer

and WAHLAH!

while driving home from your first EXPO

      Thanks Amanda! It IS exciting and OVERWHELMING for this former first grade school teacher. What part of Texas do you call home? We LOVE Texas and had considered moving west before we had our boys..

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
