my ♥ today

Will they have to lie at your funeral? Will they have to do their best to make you sound like you were a life well lived? Will the people in your audience stare at the big elephant in the room as they describe a person that they all know you weren't? Those questions plague me.

I don't want you to hear that I was a nice person, because that probably isn't what they would say anyway. I don't want you to hear that I was a free spirit and a delight to be around, because that probably isn't true either. What I DO want them to say is that I lived to honor God. No matter what that looked like. No matter where it took me. No matter the reputation it gave me, or the many opinions that swirled. I lived with a purpose and a passion. And His name is Jesus! I lived for the reason I was created. And hopefully in the midst of that I made an impact for Him on many lives that will last through eternity.
What will they say at your funeral? I hope that question keeps you up at night.

my ♥ today

It's a constant struggle for me to love. That's a fact. The truth is, I run low on the compassion. I hate people pleasing, and I'm awful at acting a way I don't feel. It's a flaw. But I'm convinced there's a healthy level of my intolerance and I'm determined to find it. God has prompted me to stand and be bold, even if that sometimes means alone. I don't have it all together. But I'm comfortable being me and I want nothing more than to impact young girls with that confidence. I'm convinced that Godly confidence and boldness can change the course of their lives. There is nothing honorable in going with the flow of a content life. It's boring. And we were made for so much more.


Love is a constant lesson that God presses in my life- I have to love, and I have to do it from the center of my heart. And if you know me at all, I absolutely cannot do that in my own strength. By nature, I'm a sarcastic critic. But praise the Lord that by grace, I can love. We can love.

We took the leap!

Our wedding day was incredible. It was exactly what we hoped!
It honored God like crazy, and THAT was our biggest prayer!
Definitely more coming your way soon!
