🎉BACK TO BACK REGIONAL CHAMPS🎉 What a blast cheer 🎉BACK TO BACK REGIONAL CHAMPS🎉  What a blast cheering on this incredible team of young women! They have played their hearts out this season and it’s onto state quarterfinals on Monday.

Brooklyn transitioned from offense to defense this season and she has been ROCKIN’ it!! She’s speedy, aggressive, and passes up the line with ease. So proud of her hard work this season and I’m ready to be LOUD on the sidelines this week!
I’m still on a JOY-high from the celebration last I’m still on a JOY-high from the celebration last weekend! Hailey and Evy’s cafe themed grad party all came together with the help of some incredible friends. @oliverickson and Lars were the best baristas! @lepoblete bringing her sign making and balloon-arch creating skills 🙌🏻 And, my mom and sis helping me make a serve food. Thank you @allystouse for being the BEST co-host and sharing in 13 years of parenting our girls together. ❤️😭 

I just keeping thinking that this is just the end of a really good chapter in a book. Where all that has happened for Hailey so far has been beautiful, hard, sometimes sad, and often moments of growth. And I’ve loved so much about this chapter in her story and yet, I can’t wait to turn the page and see what comes next for her! 

@hailey.gwynn.o you were radiant last weekend! Shining with joy at all you accomplished but also all the incredible friendships you have made. I see you becoming more like Jesus, the fruit of years of prayer from this mom’s heart. I love you so much! ❤️🎓

🎉Happy Birthday to this guy! 🎉 I’m so grateful to 🎉Happy Birthday to this guy! 🎉 
I’m so grateful to celebrate @g.l.owens_kc and call him mine! If you know Greg, you already know that he is generous with his love, cares for his people so much, and gets a ton of joy from giving his life away to others. He loves his students and it’s his one of his greatest joys to teach them about Jesus, especially this year’s Senior class. AND all the kids who fill our house on Sunday night at Youth House church! 

He’s an incredible loving dad, makes us all laugh and keeps our family having fun! Love you babe!
Jumping back on social media after a three month h Jumping back on social media after a three month hiatus because it’s this girls GRADUATION week! 😭 

Last week, our pastor asked us to remember a time when God moved against insurmountable odds. I was immediately taken back to my pregnancy with Hailey. After 2 years of multiple miscarriages and numerous  infertility tests, I was pregnant! Around 9 weeks, I started bleeding at work. In that moment, instead of feeling fear, I was filled with the peace of God. I calmly finished treating a patient and then drove to the doctors office. I sang worship songs in the car the whole way there, praying over this baby growing inside of me. And the ultrasound gave the affirmation of what I already knew…the baby’s heartbeat was strong. The bleeding was coming from a different place. And God was giving me the desire of my heart: to be a mother. 

Now, here we are, another Mother’s Day and I’m looking at my grown daughter and remember his faithfulness. Not just one but two incredible daughters! 

This week we will celebrate @hailey.gwynn.o as she graduates high school and gets ready to head to @johnbrownuniversity ❤️ I’m so proud of you Hailey! If I cry a lot, it’s all because of how much I love you!

Snow days are the perfect day to create! I spent t Snow days are the perfect day to create! I spent time writing and made blueberry cornbread pudding from leftover cornbread muffins. Then, I hired my lovely daughter Brooklyn to create art on my nails. She is so incredibly talented and this was my first experience being one of her clients! 

I love seeing both of my girls thrive in different ways when it comes to their creative gifts. God is the Creator who made us to create. And it’s beautiful!
In Exodus, God passes before Moses and says, let m In Exodus, God passes before Moses and says, let me tell you what I am like: 
"The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands...."

Compassionate and gracious almost always go together in the scriptures. And, they are exclusively used in reference to God, no other persons. The Psalms repeatedly echo these two characteristics of God. 

Jesus, in human form, embodies being compassionate and gracious. Throughout the gospels, we see how Jesus was moved with compassion.

As we choose to live as Jesus did, may we move towards others with compassion and grace.

This beauty turned 18 on Christmas Day! We gifted This beauty turned 18 on Christmas Day! We gifted her this pottery wheel that she has wanted for several years and her dad carved out some basement space for her to have a “studio.” I believe God designed us to be creators so this was an easy investment in her and her gift! We can’t wait to see what beautiful things she makes. 

She also held out until this big birthday to jump into social media. My first birthday message that I can tag her in! 😘So proud of you @hailey.gwynn.o for who you are becoming as you take another step towards adulthood. You’re beautiful inside and out and I love being your mom! #seniorsunday
