What To Do With an “I Don’t Know”

I’m still practicing home.

Eleven month ago we moved to camp.
We said a great big yes to God and goodbye to our farm home. I still can’t tell you why it all aches, but I can tell you that at least this spot feels worn in, comfortable and mine.

I’m working on a theology of home and I only know one thing for certain. Where the Father is- that’s home.

Sometimes God brings a day of sheer delight. Laug

Sometimes God brings a day of sheer delight. Laughter. Tears. Prayer. Blessing. Ice cream. Ropes courses. Lighthouses. Chips and Salsa. Front porch sitting.

Today @comingalivejenn not only brought a WORD at the Women’s retreat @grace_adventures_mears, but she brought joy-sheer joy to my heart. Every once in a while we get a day like today. It was just so very good.
I wish you a day like this, Friend. Do you have a friend that shoots joy right into you?

When @katie_m_reid shows up, you never know where our conversation will head. 😳
❤️We team up EVERY Wednesday to have a conversation about Jesus, our God-given bents, and the gift of friendship.
You can always expect laughter, vulnerability and usually something you can use immediately. (Katie IS made like Martha, ya know.)
This week we are talking Bucket Lists and this one will go down in infamy. (I still can’t believe I told you THAT).
You can find us EVERY week by subscribing to the Martha and Mary Show wherever you listen to podcasts. ❤️
Now, what’s on your bucket list?

This is the happiest mail day!!
When two of your ministry pals release a book TOGETHER that could change TWEEN GIRLS lives...you simply MUST celebrate! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

My friends @michellenietert and @lynncowell’s book is finally here! (Well done, Friends!)
I’m going to be buying a pile for the girls in my life. ❤️
AND
✨This is your opportunity to help two young girls know that they are wildly loved by Jesus ... no matter what!

When you purchase a copy of Loved & Cherished: 100 Devotions for Girls, between ‪September 8th - 22nd‬, we will give away a copy to a girl in foster care! Simply buy a copy for your girl or a girl you love and complete the form at http://lovedandcherished.me/. We'll take care of the rest!

Loved and Cherished equips girls ages 8–12 to:
* Discover perfect, unconditional love in God, and that she doesn’t have to perform or be perfect to receive that love.
* Know she has God’s protection, despite living in an often-scary world.
* Let go of heartaches, fears, and failures, because she has the love she needs to face it.
* Build a strong foundation of faith in the love who will never leave her so she can face the challenges of growing up.
❤️
I have about a hundred people a year ask what my family uses for devotions and what I recommend.
❤️
HERE it is y’all.
🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️
Run to grab these and watch another girl’s life be changed, too!

Somebody hold me. 😳❤️ Mike and I are taking

Somebody hold me. 😳❤️
Mike and I are taking these three guys to visit Cedarville and Olivet Nazarene. Riding low with homemade choc chip cookies from Grandma and things my niece needs hand delivered to her dorm room. ❤️
We could not be more proud to introduce these guys to college life.
❤️You can call them Shad, Rack and Benny if you want to.
⭐️Praying for wisdom for all of us. And my mama heart.

“There you go, Butterfly. Be free. It’s time

“There you go, Butterfly. Be free. It’s time to fly.”
.
My son is growing caterpillars and chrysalis. Feeding them milkweed and watching them grow.
.
I’m growing teenagers and a rowdy ten year old. Feeding them piles of food and the Word.
.
Both of us are watching the rapid growth before our eyes, the Father so clearly superintending their process.
.
He is eager for their release, anxious to watch them spread their wings and launch.
🦋
This is where the similarities end. I find myself counting down days, willing them to stay cocooned. Safe in the protection of our home. Close to us, fed by us, so desperately loved by us.
.
🦋 The truth is that the most loving thing we can do for our kids is release them into the loving care of their Father.
🦋The truth is He is more deeply involved in their process than I am, a better protector, provider and teacher than I.
🦋The truth is too much time in the chrysalis brings death and these babies were made to fly.

So today, I counsel my heart.
Savor. Enjoy. Invest.
Pray, pray, pray full of faith.

Hold my hand real still and whisper that they were made to fly.
