The return of happiness

This little stray wandered into someone's garden a few days ago, was caught and minded by a local vet clinic, and came home with us yesterday. Welcome to the family Uzi - we've been waiting for you! 🐈‍⬛

U N C L E

My Uncle passed away a few days ago. He'd been fighting so hard to get well after having a stroke a few weeks back - multiple hospitalisations and ICU stays. But it was time.

I was picturing this street this morning, the house where he lived with my Aunt. It's where he pastored a small church, held gatherings, and served faithfully for years.

Uncle Jess was funny, in his way 😊 and he had rules and he prayed and he taught and he laughed! I'm missing him now, and the distance between me and family seems stupidly far at the moment. But he is well and happy and whole, and for that I am happy, despite these tears.

I'm so grateful we got to see him in the spring. Thank you Lord for that 💕

Love you Uncle. See you soon xx

T R I P

A bit of a whirlwind trip, taking the boys to visit friends in the UK (Silas' graduation present 🎉) and sneaking in a little visit of my own with the one and only @cameoclo!

570 train rides (just about 😅), a day in Brighton, getting in our steps, sunshine, a family get together, and loads of yummy foods - thanks Chloe for such a lovely trip! Until next time xx

Three days filming and recording in Belfast for an exciting collaboration with @crownjesusministries! @mrtikihead has been building puppets for weeks, and it's been really fun bringing these guys to life with dialogue and voicing!

Always so good to work alongside @helenlamb25 and Nathan and the CJM team. Excited to see how the Lord will use these characters going forward!

Also, Happy Birthday America - we love you! 🇺🇲💕

F I N I S H E D

He did it guys! After 14 years, Silas has finished his homeschooling journey! Look at him at age three, showing me his letter "B's" 🥹 And in just a few months, he'll be starting college!

I'm so so proud of this kid! He and Jesus made me a homeschooler - completely against my wishes initially 😅 But I couldn't be more grateful for the gift home education has been to our family and for all we've learned together along the way.

Strange and exciting to be in this season of transition, but he's ready and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store!

You're incredible Si!!

A S K

Gathered today with others in Cork to worship and to pray - to ask the Lord for more of Himself, and for Him to do what He wants to do - in us, in our families and churches and communities, on this island. His Word is clear - we ask, He responds!

Follow @mitchbelfast with @crownjesusministries as he travels through all 32 counties, praying and seeking the Lord for a revival in this time, in this place. Come, Holy Spirit 🔥

T I M E

It's hard to articulate what time with family really means, now that it's not a given. You want to gather it up, slow it down, stop it altogether. But you know that's impossible. So you try not to be sad until you have to. You set out to fill every single moment with as much goodness as possible, doing ALL the things while trying to soak in every little detail. And you take pictures!

Like we say to the children - try not to be sad too early, and make all the memories you can, so you'll have them to take with you 💕

B E S T

It's been a while since I've had to slow down for little legs to keep up, hand in hand, sticking with your buddy. Squeezes, singing, giggling, picking every single flower you see - it's kinda the best 💕

Also, finding friendly horses when you go to the castle ruins - that was a lovely surprise 🐴

H E R E

These precious girls are here, and I'm soaking it up! My sister and her family are visiting for the first time, and bringing them to the ocean was at the top of the to-do list. Sunshine, salty waves, and the complete disregard for clothes getting completely soaked made for a good day!

Treasuring this time and proximity 💕

C O M M I S S I O N

The second born got commissioned to paint these boxes for a local organisation. They'll be used for events that serve communities here in Cork. The brief was given, sketches sketched, and painting began.

He asked for my help with a few details, but mostly I got to watch him create and learn, push through when he wasn't sure about how things were going, make fixes, change his mind, complete the vision.

Boxes were delivered, and the client was very happy. And Ethan got to paint, so he was happy too ☺️

In creating, we image our Creator God. It's pretty cool to watch your kids step into that, to explore and grow and contribute to the world in ways they really enjoy!

F U L L

It always takes me a few days to come down after Youth Days 😅 Games, challenges, and prizes. Worship, teaching, prayer, SO MUCH FOOD and hanging out!!

What a privilege to be part of what God is doing today. It's hard to explain how full our hearts are getting to walk alongside teens as they navigate life and faith 💕

Grateful too, for the leaders and churches that we get to serve with - Youth Days only happen in collaboration as the Church partners together for the community and the Kingdom! What a joy!!

I'm a day late, but my Mom is worth celebrating every day! If you know her, you know there's no one like her. She's sweet and spicy, a soft heart and fireworks all at the same time!

She loves deep, gives wholeheartedly, and makes the best food! She's the "most magandang Lola in the whole world!"

I miss her 💕 Love you so much Mom!!

S E E

"See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?"
Matthew 6:28-30

Spent the day in the city with the firstborn, trying something new with a medium we both love. Experimenting, shooting through glass, capturing reflections. And chats and food and time. A pretty great way to spend the day ☺️

The sun has been shining lately and it's been soooo lovely 😍 And sunny weather is for walking! Got the forest/cliff walk combo today - best of both worlds! Days like today remind you how beautiful Ireland really is.

These days are like treasures, gems in our hurried world. No agenda or schedule or jobs - just #timeandproximity . God knew we needed the gift of #sabbath

Also, how is it already May??
