My weekend review

Friday our house guests all left for the weekend. To be honest, I was quite sad. Matt had drill this weekend. Cassie and Landon went to her momma's house. It's been quieter. The original plan was to get the whole house back into complete order. I have been a MAJOR slacker with cleaning lately and it just needs one of those major cleanings - you know the kind that make you delirious by the end of the day.

Friday night was uneventful, so much that Addie and I ended up doing this:

Hey - we may be crazy but fun none the less ;)

That night we had a little family movie night. The Avengers. And nachos!!! We LOVE nachos in this house. 

Saturday morning was another early morning game.


Thankfully this time I was prepared for cold weather


Addie was not very happy about being at the game Saturday morning -- this is how she acted most of the game


After the game I took a nap and it was wonderful!! I wasn't planning on it, but Addison was sleeping and the older two were watching some Boy Meets World and I conked out - naps over the weekend are always so lovely!!

Then Saturday evening I was doing this:


I love taking pictures. At one point I was trying to make it a career. And I stopped. I didn't like the pressure. I knew my work wasn't up to par --- so now I do it for me. I love it. My heart and spirit feels so happy when I take pictures and even more so when I open photoshop and get to work!! It may never be anything more than taking pictures for family and friends but now I'm ok with that. I love when I get the chance to capture and share. I love it. And for now - that's all I need from it.

This morning I got up {again} intending to clean before church, but instead started the editing of above pictures. 

And this one is my favorite:


Then we headed to church. We went early because I joined the prayer team and needed to meet all the others on the prayer team - I found my spot. My spot I belong. My spot where God can use me. A gift I have. I feel home in that little group. Yes, just after 1 day.


We had a special speaker from Destiny Rescue. Something I happen to be passionate about. It surprises me how little people know about Sex Slavery. It saddens me this truth. It sickens me how big of an industry is. And it moves our hearts. Because God said "to the ends of the earth" and people are heading there - but financial support is needed. If you can donate or sponsor a rescued child go to the link above. Or even if you want to know more because ignorance is NOT bliss. Looking away won't change that this is very real.

I hope you all have had an amazing weekend and I except multiple posts to read from you Influence ladies ;)

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
