Sunday Best

So, I am sure that all of you wives out there think you are married to the best daddy ever but I truly believe that I am the one and only woman who is:) Scott is not only an amazing husband and friend to me but he is also a tremendous dad! Just ask his son! Jackson is enamored with Scott. I understood this even more Saturday morning when I went into his room to get him up.

He asked the usual, "where's daddy," question in which I typically reply, "at work." However, it was Saturday so I was able to tell Jack that his daddy was downstairs. I wish I had the camera at that moment to show you the sheer excitement on our son's face to know that his daddy was home.

I took Jackson to see Scott and he was attached to his daddy's hip the rest of the morning. Scott offered to make pancakes so I started on some chores. I went upstairs to put some laundry away as Jackson helped his daddy make pancakes. When I came down Jackson was sitting at the counter with the pancakes that his daddy made. However, these were not just any pancakes...Scott has used a cookie cutter to make them in the shape of a star (Jackson LOVES stars). I was so impressed. Mommies are usually the ones who cut their child's food into shapes but it was daddy this time. Jackson was beyond thrilled and couldn't stop talking about it!

This is just a glimpse at the MANY simple things Scott does for his son...and me, of course! Thank you, Scott, for being the BEST daddy and husband in the entire universe!

Wahoo....star pancakes!!!!

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...

The Promise Land

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 We Christians like this verse; like A LOT. We have it written all over the place. We hang this verse up in our home and tattoo it to our bodies. Jeremiah 29:11 is everyone's life verse. I mean, who doesn't want to rest in knowing the God has a plan for our life; especially when that plan includes safety and prosperity. Even if I didn't believe in God, I would hold onto this verse. What if, however, we have been misinterpreting this verse all these years? This life, the here and the now, we like it. Well, some of us probably want to throw this life in the trash like a rough draft and have a do-over. But, for the most part, we hold onto this life for dear life. It is all we know. It can be scary to think of anything else. Because of this, we go all in even when the cards we are dealt are bad. Thi...

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold...
