friday togetherness...

first of all,

isnt this a sweet picture?

just had to share it, I LOVE my loves,

and I love that they are learning about God TOGETHER.

(well, Abigail was probably just trying to figure out why that big book didn't have any pictures.

but, anyways....)

TOGETHER.

Thats how I want to live my life with Jesus in front of my children,

and in front of you.

Real, Honest, Open, Seeking, Sharing.

Always learning and growing

Like we are supposed to live with each other.

in Community.

Together.

Im sharing my heart today with some other lovely ladies who are sharing their hearts...

thanks Casey for setting this up:

It has been a vulnerable spot, a weakness for me, in the past,

to let myself be open and transparent with more than just my husband.

Parker...he is amazing. I learn from him and with him every day.

But I want more "sharing" in my life.

I want to be real and open with the people God put in my path to be real and open with.

I want my littles to grow up in the Lord WITH me.

They are part of our community.

My parents did such a good job in raising me to know Jesus

and teaching me about seeking him more.

I want to do the same.

And I want to share life with my children.

Live life together.

I know I just need God to reveal His heart for me more about this.

For Him to show me that I am worth living life with people,

and that it will bless me to be real,

and hopefully bless others too.

Im so thankful the people around us,

the people who pray with us and for us.

If you know our story, you know community hasn't necessarily come easy the last few years,

But we are also thankful for God's

preparation

for community.

(more on that to come.)

Thats what He's done, and is still doing in me.

Preparing my heart, teaching me about how much He loves my heart

and wants it to be shared with others.

I cant wait to see the fellowship for us in the seasons to come, I know it will be amazing.

So...this will be an ongoing story, it is not even close to being a finished work in me.

(is it ever?)

but its what was on my heart today....

thanks for sharing life with me.
