The “Whoa’s” Of Life

December 2, 2016March 27, 2017

Are you “WHOA-ED” by life?

I have been thinking about that as I have watched Mazy grow. A little 20 month old has taught me so much about living and loving life. I watch her just soak in so much about life – even to the point where she says “WHOA” in amazement, as she watches snow fall. Her eyes get wide, her eyebrows get higher and higher, and her jaw drops as she says “WHOA” as we show her something new. A WHOA that has changed my perspective on life too.

When I think about the WHOA’s, I can’t help but think about life and if I am enjoying life? Am I making the most of every opportunity, slowing down enough to take in the moment, and even putting my phone down and instead of taking a picture, taking a picture of the moment in my head?

I think it’s hard to enjoy life and say “WHOA” when there is so much noise going on around us.

What noise is filling your life? What is distracting you from the moment of life that you are in? It may not be a beautiful season. Maybe it IS the most beautiful season of your life. Whatever season you are in, are you soaking it in? God has a purpose for every season – and even in the difficult seasons, He wants us to enjoy life. To have those WHOA moments.

What has been YOUR “WHOA” moment today?

Faith in Waiting

Our pastor today preached such a timely sermon! God has those little ways of touching our hearts when we don’t even realize how much they need to be touched, tweaked, and loved on. Trusting in the wait. Dan and I both came home thinking “this what we needed to hear.” In the back of my…

Clinging To His Promises

Posting pictures of yesterday of the farmers tilling and planting, brings so much understanding of what God is doing in our life. I have heard from numerous people that grieving the loss of babies is something you never just “get over.” Time can be healing in and of itself, but it is something that will…

Day 7: Keys

What: Keys Why: Whoever invented the key, should’ve invented a “nametag” to go on the key so that we know what the key is actually for. Don’t you agree? Yes, I know they sell those color-coded key covers, but they still don’t help if you don’t even know what the key is for. When we…

What Have You Learned In 2018?

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I struggle with the start of a new year. So much anticipation, so much pressure to set the “right” goals and really, to even set goals in and of themselves. And then to start off the year somehow… Perfect. Do you ever feel that way? I know I…

Grace-Full Goals: Crocheting Skills

Goal: Expand my crafting skills One thing I REALLY wanted to work on during this down time in our life, was my crocheting skills. I started to crochet baby blankets when I had two friends have babies. That love continued to grow and I decided to just keep making them. Crocheting is something I just…

New Movie: God.Family.Football.

Well, there is a new documentary coming out called God.Family.Football. by Executive Producer, Russell Wilson that you don’t want to miss, that is family-friendly and will have you thinking about where our priorities need to be in life, no matter what we pursue. God….
