Meet Kristin

As a Christ-follower, wife, blogger, author, and advanced heart failure and leukemia patient, my desire is to encourage others in those same roles, through honest and real conversation. May you be inspired to embrace YOUR story of God’s grace in your own life, through simple, grace-filled living.

Mazy never thought she’d have BOTH of her parents Mazy never thought she’d have BOTH of her parents as teachers on the same day! Dan was subbing for P.E. and I was subbing for social studies. Who would’ve ever thought that all the times our family was separated, due to my health, we were now all under the same roof, loving kids and living life with our kid. What made us chuckle was that it was picture day today and the lady asked if we wanted our family picture taken 🤣. Should’ve used that as the Christmas card pic! We kindly declined. All glory be to God alone, for his immeasurable grace and for the miraculous things he has done in our lives!
🎣 Fishing on Stony Lake never gets old! Between th 🎣 Fishing on Stony Lake never gets old! Between the drizzle and the sun, Dan is the only one who caught anything, but nothing can beat time together as a family! ❤️
✏️ First day of middle school for Mazers and first ✏️ First day of middle school for Mazers and first day of teaching full-time (for just a few weeks) for me, then back to my regular job as a para. There is something about the newness of a new school year. Oh the possibilities, oh the learning that will happen, and oh the leaning into God’s path for our lives. The last pic is of “Thumper”, the dog that’s gone with Mazy on the first day for the past several years (in her backpack), that reminds us of where we’ve been. Mazy is far past the days of needing to take a stuffie along, but it reminded our little fam of the journey. She received it during a hard time in our life and now reminds us of God’s faithfulness. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but God sure has been oh so good! Let the joys only continue! #firstdayofschool
Happy Father’s Day to this incredible man! Dan is Happy Father’s Day to this incredible man! Dan is always up for an adventure, choosing to put his creative hat on to amuse Mazy’s imagination, and yet snuggle every night together in the recliner before bed. So blessed to see you love her well and see her look up to you in so many ways! We love you!
Tried something new tonight at Redlum Farm Preserv Tried something new tonight at Redlum Farm Preserve in Holland: a bike park! There is a trail around the 20-acre park, but then hills/jumps to also try from easy (green) to hard (expert). Dan of course, nailed the expert, I on the other hand, caught my pedal on the first hill and thought the repercussions of not making it were too high, so I bailed. Side note: they are growing wild flowers in between the runs, which makes it beautiful! Definitely check it out if you’re in the area and are looking for something new to check out!
So we arrived home and saw a large box on our fron So we arrived home and saw a large box on our front steps, which I knew was our new canvas family picture to hang on our wall. Eagerly anticipating to see what it looked like, we cut the tape, pulled it out of the box, and THIS is what we received…I’m not certain we have the right picture…little did we know our family had grown 🤣!
✏️ SCHOOL’S OUT! Hard to believe we are at the end ✏️ SCHOOL’S OUT! Hard to believe we are at the end of our school year! Mazy is officially a middle schooler (🫣), I completed another year as a parapro, and we’ve already been living summer to its fullest with swimming, ice cream runs, bike rides, spring cleaning (🙌), and slower days. Bring on a 1990s-type summer! Do you have dreams of slowing down summer and living into each day, instead of jam-packing it full of scheduled activities? I’d love to hear what type of summer you prefer!?
