Wy Guy 2 Months


Dear Wyatt,

I know you are almost 4 months old but I have to capture each moment I have with you even if I am a little behind. You have blossomed this month. The first six weeks were rocky getting to know one another and how to love and comfort you just the right way. Now that Daddy and I have figured things out, you are starting to smile and come into your own.

We feel like you have always been a part of our family. Life without you is unimaginable. Your brothers love you more than words could ever say. It's incredible how you fit right in to a relationship with your brothers. I love watching it unfold right before my eyes imagining the future with you boys becoming the best of friends.

I cherish our snuggle time and the quiet moments late at night that we have together. I know they are fleeting so I try to hold on as tight as I can. You melt my heart and remind me everyday how great God is. You remind me of your Great-Grandma Buskirk in your fiesty-ness and I absolutely love that!

You were able to meet your Great-Grandpa Buz this month which was very special and extremely important for mommy! Your Great-Grandpa is an amazing man. He held you and just stared sweetly at you for awhile. I wish your Great-Grandma was there and I know he did too. I know she was smiling down from Heaven.

We love you so much sweet Wy. Until next month...

All Our Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Jack, and Grady

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...

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...

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...
