At first glance, you might see a group of high school girls in a soccer huddle. But, this pic was snagged right as these girls came together to pray for a teammate who had taken a ball to the face during their game. When I think about all the skills my kids learn by being in sports, I’m especially grateful for a school that values prayer. Because, as a family, we value it too. ❤️

Prayer is something that has shaped me. Throughout May, I’ll be sharing on my blog how to rest in secure attachment to God in prayer. Pop over to my bio to learn more and read each week!

Big FIRST for this girl yesterday. She passed her driving test (I’ve learned a lot about the rule for KS teen driving this month 🤣 Prepared to guide all moms coming behind me in this process) AND got her first car! 🙏🙌🏻

Here’s to another moment of moving toward adulthood, gaining independence and learning. For me, I get to practice trusting Jesus more and squeezing in hugs in the minutes she’ll be at home. ♥️

We love to celebrate “firsts” in our family. The moments that mark a person, the good and the hard. Brooklyn decided to go out for the high school soccer team this spring. The last time she played soccer before this season, she was around 8! This week, she had the winning goal in the JV game AND her first goal during the Varsity game! 🎉👏🏻 Proud of our girl and all her hard work at this new-ish sport!

Thankful also for these two sisters who encouraged her to join the team, have spent extra hours practicing with her, giving her rides to practices and cheering her on! You’re raising two amazing women @ladybutterfly2000 ❤️🙌🏻

Family fun night at the K over the weekend! What a joy it was to be with my dear friend @henslits and celebrate all the amazing work that @girlsontherunkc is doing!

First road trip with this girl behind the wheel. She’s banking those final hours for her license. 🙌🏻 which also means we’re on the hunt for a car for our girls. Sooooo…if you’ve got a car perfect for a teen driver, message me and let’s chat! Trusting God will provide just what she needs! ❤️

My heart is full after 3+ days with this dear friend! We celebrated the gift of over 25 years of friendship-never living in the same city since college. The sunshine gave us the perfect weather for long walks and backyard hang time. We enjoyed some of my favorite KC spots: brew tour @boulevard_beer , coffee @bdcoffeehouse , and dinner on the enclosed patio @cafetriokc

Everyone should be as lucky to have a friend like @carriebequette She is generous, thoughtful, an incredible listener, encouraging, and always up for fun! She loves Jesus and is seeking to follow Him more and more. And I’m glad I get to champion her in who she is now and who she is becoming!

Love you my friend. Let’s make plans for the beach next! ☀️🏖️

Which season of life are you in and what is God do

Which season of life are you in and what is God doing in that season?

With the surprise snowfall this morning, I want to fast forward to summer. But, we don't get to skip a season. I find that to also be true when we are moving through spiritual seasons.

In my latest blog post, I'm sharing my personal reflections on which season I find myself in AND helping you name the season you most identify with.

Check it out and then circle back to share with me which season God highlights you are currently experiencing!

A week ago I had a conversation with a few of my younger mom friends at house church about what it looks like to “play with your kids.” I remembered the years of homemade playdoh, playing dress up, pretend play with the Barbie house, pushing them on the swings and catching them at the bottom of the slide.

But, the question that I keep coming back to this week: How do I still “play” with my kids in their teen years?

I think play is a source of memories, creates connection and results in joy! So, play with my daughters this week looked like:
💗 a trip to Sephora
💗 testing out lip plumper
💗 curling all the hair for WPA
💗 late night foot massages

I’m still learning and growing as a mom. My growth right now is looking for ways to include “play” when I desire connection with my daughters. ❤️
