A few little life lessons along the way

---Go pee every chance you get. For me I pee, a lot, more than the average pregnant woman. It's bad. But I've learned that I can take the opportunity to pee or suffer later.

---I need time with Jesus. My flesh has a major attitude and is very selfish. It leaks out all over the place when I'm not with Him.

---People hurt. They just do. People who love Jesus. People who hate Jesus. People who have no opinion on Jesus. People hurt. I have to remind myself to be gentle to others and myself.

---Budgeting is important. Sometimes it's hard being an adult. Budgeting takes time & effort. But is so necessary.

---Dealing with depression is a thing for me. But now I know it's often an attack on my soul & talking to others is helpful.

---Being married isn't about making me happy. It's about us becoming holy. It's about us raising little warriors together.

---Church isn't necessary on your walk. It's not. But I can't imagine doing life without being there, with pastors who love Jesus fiercely, surrounded by others on their own walks with Jesus.

---Doing this mom gig is best when you have friends who can lift you up. It's ok to share your weaknesses in motherhood. And when others share their weaknesses, lift & encourage!

---Family relationships are tough. When you're a child they seem like the easiest, as an adult they get messy, but God loves families & redeems brokenness.

---Love Jesus. Love others. Work hard.

---Find something or somethings that are just yours. The things you are working on, that give you joy

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.
