Undeserving Queen

"I'm going to teach our son(s) how to treat you like a queen." Yes, these undeserving words came from my sweet husband. He is excited and adamant that Silas, and any future sons, know how to treat their mama like a queen, which will hopefully translate to all of their female relationships. While it may seem like I hit the jackpot with a partner, it's really God's way of growing me as a wife and mother too.


I was asked recently the biggest change (besides the obvious ones) in my life since having a baby. I thought, and quickly said, "humility". Over and over I am humbled by God since becoming a mommy. When I think I know everything, Silas soon proves me wrong. I actually have the audacity to get angry at my helping husband when I'm tired and he doesn't help the "way I want." Am I starting to sound absolutely awful? I catch myself protectively tightening when other incoming arms are taking my son. What has happened to me to turn me into a ridiculous monster?  Motherhood happened.
Instead of allowing myself to roll down these prideful, and worrisome track, I turn to Christ in humility and thank Him for being in ultimate control of my family's lives.

Thank you for a husband of 2 years that made me breakfast in bed 2 times in the past 2 weeks: our 2 year anniversary and my first Mother's day! I love you baby.

Thank you for so many who have visited, brought meals, and prayed for us this past month! We are truly thankful for each one of you!


Thank you for a beautiful boy who is just like his daddy: a great eater and sleeper!


Thank you Morgan for an amazing gift of this photo shoot!

Thank you for yummy coffee I just drank this morning. :)
I am truly undeserving, and so thankful!

Break from the blog

As March begins, often we hope for a great thaw in our land. Now Georgia certainly doesn't have any icy soil that needs warming, but our yearning for more light and fresh newness to keep us from numbing appears universal. I have written on this blog for ten years now. From singleness to newlywed to mama of four sickly, but now active, growing boys. It's been a place for me to purge, process, and pray through some of life's biggest changes and challenges. It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines. I re...

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC
