{morning coffee: Sharing from the heart.}

June 22, 2012 · 25 Comments
Filed Under: for fun, the pup, Zack

Good morning beautiful girl! In the most optimistic way, I am SO GLAD today is Friday! It means the end of a great work week + the start of a fun weekend. I’m going to soak up lots of Zack time tomorrow :) We’ve both been working so so so much, I can’t wait to sleep in just a tiny bit before spending the entire day together. It’s supposed to rain, so maybe it’ll be a snuggle on the couch movie marathon kind of day? We’ll wind down by enjoying a long dinner together — what should I make???, and then call it a day. Sunday is a BIG DAY for me! My friends Mary + Matt asked me to be their daughter June’s godmother so we’ll be celebrating her Baptism in the morning.

* * *

So if we were sitting down for morning coffee, you know I’d ask you to share your heart. And I’d share my heart, too — cuz that’s only fair ;) I’d tell you about #SheReadsTruth + tell you reading the Word every day is seriously blessing me so so much. I’d share that I’ve slowed down a bit more, which really means I feel like I’m able to ultimately do more because I’m doing less. Makes sense, right? I’d share that this week’s shop update has been really fun! I was really bold with the amount of Tote Bags + Market Totes I listed in the shop, but you are snatching them right up [thank you!] and/or are sharing them on Pinterest + Twitter [again, thank you!].

I think my most favorite scripture from #SheReadsTruth was from yesterday’s devotional. We are studying Cindy Beall’s plan, Living the Surrendering Life — there’s still time to join us! — and my favorite part was reading this excerpt from Matthew 6:27-29,

“Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color + design quite like it?” {The Message}

OH that was so beautiful to read. I shared in my journal that I’ll forever look at wildflowers differently :) It makes me want them everywhere in our home, as colorful reminders that we have nothing to worry about, God WILL take care of us.

If we were sitting down for morning coffee you’d probably hear me talk about our dog, Bauer. He is totally my baby. I am almost convinced he’s part little toddler boy, part doggie. His personality is what kills me the most, he does the silliest things to get our attention, he loves to play hide + seek with our clothes around the house, he sits on steps {look at the below left photo!} + he holds his own leash. He’s the greatest addition to our family :) I would also share with you that in taking more time each week for quiet time I had a great day on Tuesday. We had a busy spring with me traveling to conferences and Zack + I both traveling with Compassion, but things have slowed down a bit and I’ve been able to be more intentional with my time + thoughts. I’ve always envied others that know how to do this and finally asked myself, “why CAN’T you do that, too?” It’s been great! :)

Remember how I had chosen the word INTENTIONAL? I feel happy that I’ve been able to work on that area of my life :) Many of you chose a word too, so… how is that going?

And perhaps one of my happiest memories from the week involves succulents + fresh soil. I’ll be sharing more about this soon! Yep — what I did was a very INTENTIONAL thing. {Zacky babe, you’ll be so proud!} If we were having morning coffee you’d hear me tell you what I did with these things yesterday.

 

So how about you? We’re sitting down for morning coffee, it’s a beautiful cool {almost} summer morning. What would you share from your heart files? xoxo

    If we were having a cup of coffee together, I would share that it has been a long week, maybe in good way. My youngest was diagnosed with apraxia of speech and this past week they say it is global apraxia due to his motor planning issues and sensory issues. I would tell you that I am overwhelmed, but that I would not change anything because he is such an amazing little boy and he has an amazing brother and sister. I would tell you that your bags are beautiful and what an amazing job you are doing. If we were havig a cup of coffee, I would share that I am excited about my “date night” with my incredible husband tonight.

    Sounds like a lot of sweet things happening–even among the busy times! If we were having coffee, I’d probably tell you that I’m excited to move into our new little rental home today and get unpacked after living out of suitcases for almost a month! I’d also probably tell you that I’m dreading unpacking all our boxes…oh well!
    ps. I love your new bags–so fun!
    Have a lovley, lovely day!

    if we were having morning coffee, i would share that it’s been a busy first week of summer break. my youngest had football camp & while he was there i spent the 2 hours each day deep cleaning my fil “new”house which was previously owned by someone who didn’t know what cleaning products were. gross.

    it’s been a hot week in michigan, high 90’s and can barely breathe weather. i don’t have a pool this year, my parents took theirs down this year. i am praying for a pool to drop in our backyard or contentment. our neighbors welcome us to theirs, but it’s not the same. hoping to get a pool at the end of the season. but until then, contentment is my word that i’m trying to live right now. i am a very content person by nature, i don’t envy what others have, i don’t have a list of wants because so & so has it. but i want a pool for my kids.

    due to the hotness in the state of michigan, i have not sewn that much this week. orders are waiting to be filled but they are very large type orders. 20 of one thing, 90 of another. plus other orders. but in this season, my kids are on summer break & we are having a great time.

    as i was writing the last sentence it was just revealed to me that maybe i don’t/won’t have a pool this summer because God wants me to be intentional & He is making the time for me to really know my neighbors, who’s pool we go to a lot on hot days. i have had sweet conversations and we are building a relationship with each other & the other neighbors that come to the pool too. there are many new neighbors in my hood & my heart always wants to get to know them & meet with them, and i am. wow….. what a revelation!

    have a great restful weekend.

    i wish we could SIT down together and have coffee. I’d have sweet tea though. ;) I’d tell you I’m thankful for the #shereadstruth prompting as I’ve been in the word 4 days in a row now. And it feels good. I’d tell you how much I’m thankful for our friendship and our small talk. you seriously have come to mean a great deal to me. you’ve been a friend to me when I needed it the most. i’d tell you I love my ruffles…my purse is seriously FULL of them!!!!

    Happy Friday friend!!!!!

    love you!

    If we sat down to coffee I would tell you that #SheReadsTruth has changed my life in a good way. I’d tell you that my heart is happy and I feel I’m changing for the better. I’d tell you that I still can’t get enough of my love Gussy Market Tote and that the orange color with polka dots makes me smile so hard. I’d tell you that I’m proud of my husband and relieved he isn’t as stressed as he was last summer so we’re able to simply enjoy the summer more. And I’d tell you that I’m happy it’s the weekend and that I’m looking forward to praising God with my Christian music group at service on Saturday.

    If we sat down for coffe I would probably tell you about my crazy, anxious spirit that has not been very CONFIDENT ( my word) lately! Rather than being confident, I have moved to SETTLING. Just going with the flow and waving my white flag but infear rather than confidence.

    I wouldn’t talk long though…I woukd be ready to share HAPPY things too. Like beautiful flowers, fun plans, and funny stories from the week….That awkward guy at the grocery store for one!

    Happy weekend to you!

      And I hope you can update your word from Settling to Confident… Remember that guilt + fear aren’t things we’re supposed to feel. Those don’t come from the Lord :)

    If we sat down for coffee (can’t believe we missed it this morning!), I’d tell you that I’m proud of what you’ve built here, what you’re a part of, and the woman you’ve become since we started this crazy life together.

    Then I’d casually mention that this sounds pretty good for Sunday dinner:

    If we were having morning coffee together, I’d share that I am counting the moments until Costco opens at 10 to know if we left my little Lulu’s stuffed Lambie there yesterday. I can think of little else. Because if Lambie isn’t there, I’m going to have to buy one of those big ugly Angry Bird pillows for her. Wildflowers they ain’t.

    Happy weekending!

    If we sat down in a quaint coffee shop, I’d have my quad latte. I’d sip it slowly since I want to breathe in my rare girl time. I’d tell you the She Speaks Truth was exactly what I needed. That it is my saving grace for what I needed now. I’d tell you that since your trip in May, God is using you in such amazing and big ways and I’m proud to be your friend. I’d say that I had a hard week as a mother. That parenting and discipline is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I’d admit that I failed as a mom many times this week and am not proud of it. I’d admit that sneaking in smooches with my hubby just makes my day and that I’ve been losing sleep waiting up for him at night when he gets home. I would tell you that God’s moving things in our lives and that I’ve never been closer to my husband.
    You’d share of the amazing weather and walks with Bauer. I’d be jealous of the quiet times you get. But still cherishing my childrens laughs. We’d part happy we’d shared our hearts, but quenching more time together. For it’s in sharing our hearts and souls about the Lord that we truly connect.

    If we sat down to coffee I would probably be acting like a teenage girl that just met their hero :) you can sew on a zipper without fear! I would tell you that we were just about the same age and have been married for the same amount of time. I would thank you for allowing God to use you to touch the lives of so many woman, including mine. I would tell you that She Reads Truth has changed my life and been the motivation I needed to get into His word everyday. I would also tell you that I am a doggy mommy too ;) We would talk about our baby boys personalities and the silly things they do and that snuggly doggy love that can make you feel better no matter what is wrong.

    And when we were done, I would beg you to take me to your super top secret fabric shop… My stash can always use an addition or two! I can promise you it would be a blast!

    I love love love that about the wildflowers. I think about that a lot when I’m outdoors – how there is no gardener taking care of the trees and the flowers and the streams and the animals in the wild- but everything works out just like it should. Amazing to think about. Hope you are having a happy weekend!

Ohhhhh, this year. Ohhhh, specifically these last Ohhhhh, this year. Ohhhh, specifically these last 3 months. I’ve had more anxiety than ever, and it’s seriously putting me on my knees in prayer —almost daily. My mind and chest aren’t unfamiliar of the attacks, but the grip it’s had on me since September has been so strong. The attacks are painful. But... Worship music has been one of my main healers. 🎶I know God is close to the broken-hearted (Psalm 34:18), and singing this truth really soothes me. Social media has been a big trigger for anxiety for me. I don’t want to “miss out on my life”, which is why I’ve hugely stepped back in posting and scrolling. 

One song in particular comes to mind:

“We step into Freedom. 
We step into all you have for us.” -Bethel Music & Jenn Johnson

There IS freedom from the anxiety attacks. For me: music, scripture, eating healthy, vitamins, rest, crying, prayer, honesty — these things help tremendously. Also getting up and MOVING when my anxiety sits on me like a boulder, that helps too. 🖤

Another soothing truth is from the end of Psalm 34:19 — “many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the lord delivers him of them all.”

Seriously. Thank you lord. Thank you for music and for rest and for the words in your book. I need them. I need You. I need Your freedom. I trust you’ll deliver me.

The sound of Julia Robert’s calming voice is playing in the background of our playroom. Yesterday we finished another read aloud, Charlotte’s Web, so today my children are watching the movie. Knowing in-detail the lessons they are learning, along with reading books together, definitely adds to the joy of motherhood; the joy of teaching my children and being with them for so many hours each day. We experience so much together. Even when things feel chaotic at home, when I can’t call something by the correct name they still long to be near me and work alongside me. Tired has been a dear companion to me for the last seven years, but my children are gentle with their responses.

It’s come to my realization there’s plenty of It’s come to my realization there’s plenty of time these days to craft a letter when I wash dishes, take my kids on a walk, or take care of our garden. All that silence, it makes my internal monologue even louder 🤣. 

Many times we are out & about in the neighborhood and I think, “oh the flowers surrounding your porch are lovely!” Or, “wow” (to the elderly man) “you have such a great smile, thanks for sharing it with us!” Wouldn’t it be great to jot that down in a card and send it through the mail as well?

We are always in need of community & kind words! 🌷💬

I remember many years ago, when nearly pregnant with another baby and our personal finances were THE PITS, my best friend came over with $500 cash. Just to bless us. She also included a personal note. Of course, I’ve always known how special personal notes are, but this card really meant so much.

And so I’ve decided as the year-end nears: wouldn’t it be nice to send a letter a week for the final 20 weeks we have left in 2020. Me thinks so 🙂. 

Community & kind words: I’m coming for you!

PS. wanna join me in sending 20 cards by Dec. 31?
