P I E That one time the boys and I went for a mor P I E

That one time the boys and I went for a morning walk, headed to the shop for a donut, and they choose a berry crumble pie instead! 😂🥧😅

It's basically the same as a donut, right? Sometimes it's fine to say Yes! and be the fun mom 😁🥰

P R E S E N T God is our refuge and strength, a v P R E S E N T

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
Psalm 46:1‭-‬3

This is what love looks like guys.

We've been sick kind of nonstop since November. A roller coaster of fevers/aches/doctor visits and then ongoing coughs and fatigue.
That, on top of some roller coaster-ing in other areas, and even today, Ethan has a fever again 😔

So tonight (and lots of other days, in lots of other ways), my husband served. He fixed dinner, but not just any dish. One of my favs, from a cookbook we bought last summer, from a restaurant I love, so that he could make this recipe for me. He had to go to a few different shops to get all the right ingredients. Stepped away from work to cook and serve. And honestly, tonight's shakshuka was the best I've ever had!

Sometimes my vision can get cloudy, but there's so much to be thankful for. Big things and small things to truly enjoy x

Growing in our relationships with God and others; navigating life together. 

Love these students and so privileged to be a part of what the Lord is doing in each of their lives.

Yes and Amen to all God has in store!

T O D A Y It's the fourth day of a brand new year T O D A Y

It's the fourth day of a brand new year, and it's also a Wednesday. For us, that means Sabbath, a day set aside for intentional rest, for #timeandproximity with this crew. 

There's so much we've been praying about for this next season, and it would be easy to just work, get after it, tackle the to-do list. 

Instead, today we walked on the beach and chatted and took jumping pictures 😄 It's not us who makes anything really happen, you know? Rest is a necessity, and it reminds and declares that we trust in the Lord. All our days are His. If He says to rest, then we can obey and enjoy! 

If rest is a challenge for you (I get it!), I would encourage you to pray, see what the Bible says about it, and walk forward in obedience. Sometimes we don't know how good it is to follow the Lord in something until we do it!

N E W Here we are again guys, at the start. Looki N E W

Here we are again guys, at the start. Looking back and celebrating the victories, and trusting God with the wounds of the last year. I'll be honest, 2022 was a year of breaking for our family, what felt like demolition really.

But it was also a year of being reminded, of going back to the foundation, realising the things we know. We belong to the Lord; He is worthy of our trust, and He has good in store. 

I think back to every real beginning in our lives, every start of something significant. There was always a breaking before the build. Feels like we're going into the next season wounded, but somehow, that's okay. Our Redeemer God wastes nothing. 

There are good things ahead, vision for new things (pray with us!), there's more in Jesus. He's not finished, and neither are we! What a joy, what a privilege to follow and co-labour with Him. Here's to all He has in store for 2023!

Happy New Year, guys!!

Y E S This is my Mom, and today she'll head away Y E S

This is my Mom, and today she'll head away on her first missions trip 💕 I'm so proud of her, so blessed to see how the Lord is leading her, and excited to hear the incredible stories she'll bring back!

God is doing significant things, crazy things, miraculous things in the world - and He invites is to be a part of it! Saying "Yes" to Jesus will always cost us, but the rewards far outweigh.

Would you pray for her and the team she's with? Favour with travel, for safety, that the Lord would use them in eternally significant ways? And for God to change them as they go. Trusting Him for all He has in store!

We got to hold our second Youth Day event this past weekend! About 70 of us altogether, we had games, worship, teaching, food, a strength challenge, and time to hang out! 

The community is growing, and God is doing significant things! Please pray for these students and the young people and families of Cork and surrounding areas. What a joy to be a part of their lives!
