HERE’S WHAT’S UP: MY BIRTHDAY!
This means we have spent 29 years on this earth! We're so grateful to God for all He has been to us. He has been our faithful friend and father. He has opened doors for us to walk through. His presence in our life just beautifies our life like nothing else could. We are also grateful for this little blog of ours and for all of you who visit it. Thank you so much for giving us a reason to write.
We really wanted to do a photoshoot this day as in, pose and take pictures but we haven’t been able to get to it well because… life! Hopefully, we'll do that within the week so we can remember how we looked like at this stage in the latter years.
Like we told you last week, we went for Mom’s Night Out on Friday. Whoop! We whipped out our phone to take some pictures for you.
Mom’s Night Out is part of a conference for moms called “Hearts at Home”, which we attended last year. How awesome can it be, attending a conference that speaks to your heart as a mother? We learned so much last year! This year, we could only make it to the first part, “Mom’s Night Out”, which is a fun night for moms.
That’s us after the program. It was a lot of fun! One dude called Daren Streblow made us laugh till we almost peed our pants.
There were about two thousand moms in attendance. We went together with a friend to the location which was about an hour drive away from home. We left the girls with Mr N so he could babysit them and he did a fine job at that. Body nobi fayawood. Ha.
Matthew 14:13 was the scripture of the day:
As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns.
Now let’s bring this home to moms:
The mother went to the bathroom to be alone. But the little people looked for her and found her.
If you are a mother reading this, raise your hands if you can relate. Ahhh so much truth in there! The whole crowd was laughing at the mention of this scripture. So many moms could understand because it’s one of the crazy things every mom has experienced at some point. One thing we really love about this program is the inspirational notes plastered all over the building. We captured one of them while walking through the crowd.
You can see the ones from last year here.
In church on Sunday, we learned about “Failing Forward”. We were taught that failing is part of life but you can choose to fail backward by not taking responsibility for your actions. Or you can choose to fail forward by accepting where you went wrong and making positive changes. May you fail forward this week!
Love ya!
