The Best Best?
I LOVE BABIESSSSSSS! AND SCREAMING!!!
AND SO DO WEEEEEEEEE!
Yesterday was full. We woke up at 11:30AM, played, swam all afternoon, napped, celebrated at little Sadie’s birthday party with what seemed like half our church(!!!), simultaneously watched Daddy pitch, came home and did some school work (Bearett read his very first sentence “see me eat!!!”), played legos, FaceTimed Dad, read our Bibles, and prayed. And in all of that, I can’t even say what the best part was. Amelia’s jumping dive? Waking up to all my kids in bed with me? Dad’s phone call? Seeing the kids with their friends? Adam with 6 innings, no runs, a win, and topping off at 96MPH? My free arms for two hours at the party?! Fellowship? Bearett is reading now?! Talking with Adam and Grandpa Larry for an hour once the kids were asleep? Ella Mae squeezing her baby while screaming “HI!!!”? Hearing my babes pray, “Lord, Lord!”
Even watching them brush their teeth last night was sweet.

We’ve had some bad days. And we’ve had some good days. And that’s how it goes. But we’re trying to steer clear of the super high highs and the devastating low lows. We want consistency. Normalcy. Faithfulness. Contentment. And we’re sure working toward it.
As I write this, one of my favorite hymns is playing over my speaker:
“Teach us, Lord, full obedience. Holy reverence. True humility. Test our thoughts and our attitudes in the radiance of Your purity.”
- Speak O Lord
And that’s the desire of my heart, especially during this season of our lives. That we’d be renewed by God’s Word, finding our fulfillment in Him alone.
