Momma Joy in the making



Joy in the big things
And the little things
The happy things
And the hurtful things
Joy in the wee hours of the night putting a toddler back to bed
And in the late afternoon when I'm running on fumes
Joy when I feel like parenting is too big of a burden
And when it fits like a glove
Joy when my marriage is rocky
And when we're grossly in puppy dog love
Joy in the morning 
And at kids bedtime {because what parent can't find joy then?!}
Joy in the desert
And joy in the sunshine

Joy because He made me.
Joy because He made them.
Joy because in all things, even when it all doesn't make sense, He is here, all around. Present. 
I may never be an intentional woman, I am a pretty scatterbrained one, He is intentional. Always. Never failing.

Influence Link Up

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.
