Cruisin' at the Lake

Jackson and I had an absolute blast at the lake yesterday. We went to Lake Lewisville, which is only about 20 minutes away, with the Bullards. Unfortunately Scott had to work. Jackson had so much fun on "Mike's boat." He absolutely LOVED being in the lake and driving on the boat! I couldn't keep him in the boat when we stopped. He did take a nap on me for about 30 minutes while we were cruising. I thoroughly enjoyed having him cuddle on me. He even had his little legs tucked under himself which I love! It was a perfect day! So relaxing! Here are some pictures from our outing.

Cheeeeeeese! This is SO much fun!!!


Driving the boat! That's all he wanted to do.


Swimming by himself with the noodle. The kid's nuts!


Hmmm...a tree in the water...very interesting.


Cool! Gavin was so funny on the boat.


Mike was superdad! He was so good to Jack because daddy wasn't there. He kept calling Mike "daddy" or "daddy Mike."


Sweet precious Elijah.


The ladies.


Cheese! Mommy and Jack enjoying some quality time.


The Bullard clan minus Eli. Thanks for a wonderful day!

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...
