Regional C H A M P S!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Last night Regional C H A M P S!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Last night was an EPIC win for our girls soccer team. 1-1 end of game. Double overtime. Onto penalty kicks….3-1 and KCC varsity girls come out on top! 

I couldn’t be prouder of our girl. She was out of play for 2 weeks following a concussion during a game at the end of April. She eased back into competition last week. Last night, she showed up with a 🔥 in her heart and gave it her all!! 💪🏻💪🏻 The joy in her face at the end of the game, the celebration with her team and coaches……such a fun night to be a part of with the KCC community!! 

And…so grateful for my mom, our dear friends the Smiths and the Speckers who came out to cheer on Brooklyn!  We love our village! ❤️❤️

Next up….state quarterfinals!!
I’ve been off socials for 2+ months but I had to I’ve been off socials for 2+ months but I had to jump back on to celebrate my guy Greg Owens on his birthday!  He lives the faithful life of following Jesus that he teaches. He loves his family, friends, and students selflessly. He’s an incredible husband and the best girl dad. Hes full of wisdom and I learn ao much from him And dang….I’m just the luckiest to call him mine! I love you always my boy! ❤️
Today is my last day on social media for a while. Today is my last day on social media for a while. I’ve long felt a need to make a TURN and Lent is the invitation to make one. 

I feel the need to: 

Turn DOWN the noise of the masses. 
Turn AWAY from the distractions. 
Turn my hands OVER in surrender. 
Turn UP my voice in prayer and worship. 

Turn my eyes TO Jesus. 
Turn my ears TO listen for His voice. 
Turn my heart IN greater response to His love. 

If we are friends beyond this platform, text or call me! If you want to hear from me now and again, you can always subscribe to my blog updates. That 🔗is in my profile. 

Dare I say that I’m excited for what God will do in me over the next 40+ days. I feel expectant and hopeful. ❤️
Last night, I began a conversation with my teen da Last night, I began a conversation with my teen daughters around what a fast during Lent could look like for them. Some years, the practice of Lent just lands on me without preparation! I want to help them prayerfully reflect and make a plan. 

Sharing a few questions from my recent blog post on Lent that I used to help get them started. And, while they certainly made a lot of jokes about what to give up (veggies, mom’s cooking…🤣), I could also see they were diving deep into thinking about their daily habits and what is more a comfort than a need. And what could feel like a sacrifice! 

Swipe 👉🏻 to read a few of the prompts as you consider what type of fast God is leading you into for the 40 days leading to Easter!

These two girls…a winter dance and another memor These two girls…a winter dance and another memory in the bank. ❤️

I often practice remembering the faithfulness of God in my life. At some point this weekend, I remembered a time in my life where I thought I might never have children. My story of becoming a mother was years of miscarriages and infertility. So many tears shed in the waiting and longing. 

But God is faithful. 

And that’s what I’m reminded of when I look at my daughters. They have been locked arm in arm like this since they were little……😭

I prayed they would always remain close friends and here we are, the middle of high school life, and I am confident that God has heard that particular cry of my heart. 

So, what might just be one more high dance instead becomes a moment for me to say thank you Jesus for your faithfulness. ❤️🙌🏻

A perfect snowy day to start a new Bible reading p A perfect snowy day to start a new Bible reading plan. I chose this from the @alabaster_co because I love how they have selected scripture for each week based on a theme. Each theme includes readings from the Old Testament, New Testament and the Psalms (a book I live in!)

It doesn’t matter that it’s after Jan 1st and it won’t matter if I don’t finish in 52 weeks. It’s about being intentional with immersing myself in the scriptures. That takes a plan! 

I’m curious…what kind of plan are you using for reading scripture right now?

Community is an essential part of how we stay conn Community is an essential part of how we stay connected to Jesus. Especially when life seems to feel broken. We live out the words and ways of Jesus WITH others. Within that community, I believe every disciple needs a master builder AND an apprentice coming alongside them. Doing hard work, repairing what's broken when needed, and encouraging each other to keep going.

Who is the master builder in your life? 
Who do you see as an apprentice?

Simply naming these two important people can remind you that you aren't alone! 🙌
