Welcome

What started as a digital diary to document a newfound journey as a stay at home mom / wife has quickly evolved into my own little corner on the internet where I share all that life brings my way -- the good, the bad, and everything in between. Thanks for stopping by; I hope you stay awhile!

The Weary World Rejoices



sharing some Christmas Eve thoughts.
I hope they speak to + encourage you as they have me. ✨

just imagine. the night has fallen. ⁣
a star shines bright. wise men are seeking.⁣

shepherds staring at the glorious sky. ⁣
angels singing. majestic sounds fill the air.⁣

all because a baby is born. ⁣
and with that, 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀. ⁣

I’ve spent the last few weeks dwelling on those words:
a weary world rejoices. ⁣

can you imagine the world before this night? ⁣

cold and dark. waiting on a Savior. ⁣
tied down by legalism.⁣ every little act of evil requires a sacrifice.⁣
every mistake you made required a priest to intercede on your behalf. ⁣

and like humans do, even after the rituals, ⁣
you would be always left wondering if it was enough. if you are enough. ⁣

the world was weary. ⁣
until — 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙮 𝙅𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚.⁣

𝘰𝘩 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. ⁣
𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥. ⁣
𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥.⁣
𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺’𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦. ⁣

a gift to the world, ⁣
sent from above from a Father who loves all His children. ⁣
𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗛𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗶𝗳𝘁, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗶𝗺. ⁣

𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴. ⁣
𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧𝘴.⁣
𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. ⁣

𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙃𝙞𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙅𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙨. ⁣

friend, if you don’t know Him —⁣
I implore you to seek Him on this night. ⁣
He is right there, holding space for you in His kingdom.⁣
waiting for you to reach for His hand. ⁣

𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘺, ⁣
𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦.⁣
𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀. ⁣

𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴. ⁣
𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩, 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣.
