My Sweetnesses

This morning as I dropped my boys off at their VPK class, I vigorously waved and said “Goodbye my sweetnesses!!!”, in front of their whole class. In response, they gave me the biggest smiles and waved back equally as vigorous. ❤️

Walking away, I couldn’t help but wonder how many years I have left to love them, squeeze them, and loudly proclaim my adoration without them being embarrassed by me. 😳

I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know that from now on, I want to make the most of every hello and every goodbye, hugging and kissing them to my heart’s content. 🤗

Abundance

My word for the year has been ABUNDANCE. I’m not sure why that’s the word God gave me. It’s a word that made me uncomfortable. I kept thinking I must have misheard Him.

Yet, here’s what I’ve learned over the last few months. It’s okay to want more. You can pursue EXCELLENCE with an attitude of humility, contentment, and gratitude. You can dream big and still surrender to God’s will. You can desire more, while being generous with what you already have.

Abundance is of God.

"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10

Fight for Growth

I just set a REALLY big, year-end goal. The kind of goal that makes you nervous to even think about. 

I’m going to have to work harder than I want to work, get more uncomfortable than I generally like being, and willing to risk massive failure.

And even though this goal scares the crap out of me and I’m afraid to fail and not sure I’m up for this huge task, I also feel ALIVE.

I am willing to fight for growth.

Have you ever felt that way about something?
