Changing out my baby’s moccasins is such a special milestone to me. I look the worn out toes and think of all the ground he’s covered in them, mostly on his hands and knees (or hands and toes). And then I see the little fresh pair just waiting to be worn in. I know this in pair the toes will be kept more in tact, and over time, the sweetest little footprints will be worn into the soles. . I can’t wait. And I wish time could stop. It’s the story of parenthood. . I’m getting better at marking time. Celebrating. Taking note. Making note. . Idk if it’s me leaning into or out of my personality, a side-effect of becoming a parent, or something else entirely. It really doesn’t matter where the habit stems from, it’s growing in me, and I’m thankful. Because what I care about I’m learning to take note of, to write down, to snap a photo of, to file away and to return to. . It’s good for me. It slows me down. I notice patterns. I learn and actually change from my learning. . I hope this trend continues. I hope it don’t forget its importance. I hope I lean into this desire to take note and make note of the little things, to mark the change as I grow. I pray I keep on growing into this habit, not just with my children, but in all of life. #heysweetpeter #takingnote #payattention #1000gifts #notice #growth #perspectivereset
I've been feeling it off and on for a couple of days now, that ache of waiting, but I can't figure out what for. I notice it in the extra scrolling of Facebook, the slightly frantic thumbing through Instagram, the general disinterest in things that normally bring me great joy. . Then this morning, over a sink of dirty dishes and an achy, scattered heart, I knew. In that instant of time, I suddenly saw it so clearly. . That thing I'm looking for, that I'm waiting for? It's love and validation. This time, I was waiting for it from a specific person. And I knew, it probably wouldn't come. At least not soon. And likely never in the way my soul craved. . But I at the same moment that this realization awoke in my mind, truth blossomed along side it. The truth that the love and validation I needed, would never be enough. Not from the source I was waiting on. . And you might know where this goes, but it's worth repeating to myself and to you every day... . In Jesus, I am perfectly and fully loved. Because of Jesus, I am accepted completely. He is my joy, my righteousness, my hope. . And in the same instant I knew all this, peace filled those restless, achy spaces in me. I may have started today searching without even realizing it, but I'm going to finish today rejoicing that in Jesus I have already been given everything I have been searching for. #preachingtomyself #reallife #1000gifts #peace #abundantlife #perspectivereset
Deep thoughts with a cute, but totally unrelated picture? Sure! Why not? Although it’s not wholly unrelated, because as I sit typing this on my phone, these two cuties are playing just a few feet away. . Deep thoughts: I listened to every word of @anniefdowns new book (in audiobook form) in about two days. You guys, it is so good! ...and at the same time, not what I wanted. . Sometimes you start a book hoping the author will give you the key. That one thing do or say to get God to listen and make things go your way. Deep down, I knew I wouldn’t get that. Because that key doesn’t exist. . Instead I got hours of listening to Annie’s story and hearing truth poured into my soul. Instead I got my faith bolstered and my hands lifted in praise and faith. Instead I got to hear my thoughts and struggles written through someone else’s story and was reminded that I am not alone, that God is good and kind, and that His story is best. . I was reading the end of John 5 just now, and Jesus had a serious mic drop moment. He essentially told them that He did things in such a way that we could see and understand as right and good and true, even though HE DIDN’T HAVE TO. He didn’t have to because He is God. GOD. But He did. In His kindness, He did. . He is so kind to us. And I am so grateful. . (P.S. preorder Annie’s book, Remember God, and then take your order number to her website to get the audiobook free right now! It’s so good. Also, it reads very much like a story.) #remembergod #godiskind #deepthoughts #1000gifts #perspectivereset
We are so very ready for football season to start tonight! Life has held lots of questions and heaviness for us this past year, and I’m finding that the best way for me to balance that is to be ALL IN on the fun. The light-hearted. The silly. The PRESENT. . With friends and family and sports and movies and good food. With cleaning and cooking and praying and reading and planning and worshipping. With the good and the hard and everything in between. . Here’s to a season of fun and football. And a season of being present in whatever the next moment holds. #12thman #twelves #seahawks #footballseason #bepresent #righthererightnow #beherenow
Happy birthday (a day late) to my very favorite human! We celebrated my husband yesterday with cheesecake for breakfast and some good family cuddles. . We’ve celebrated 11 of his birthdays together now, and I’m so very thankful. Someone gave us a framed piece of art for our wedding. It says, “Choose thy love, then love thy choice.” What perfect words to speak over our marriage. We have chosen love and I do not regret that choice one bit. . We argue and make each other mad. We tease one another and make each other laugh. We share worries and hopes and dreams. We share every bit of pain and joy. We learn new things about each other often (for example, this year I learned just how much you hate being sung to on your birthday). We apologize over and over because life is hard and dying to yourself is harder. But it is so worth it. . I’m so grateful for each of the 11 birthdays I’ve known you. I promise not to throw you a surprise birthday party again (did that about 8 years ago) and I promise I’ll always sing happy birthday even though it’s not your favorite because I just can’t help myself. I love you @travissinks. . Happy birthday! #reesescheesecake #happybirthday #marriageisbeautiful #ilovemyhusband #cheesecake #homemade #bakewell #bakingacake
There have been so many sweet moments with my boys in the past week. Sweet moments to keep me going, to bring joy and laughter. . Tonight I nearly cried when my husband and I realized that James tried to write his name for the first time. The letters are backwards and sometimes upside down and mostly a little off, but he did it and when we asked, he pointed out each one to us. . Being a parent is amazing. Watching your child grow and learn is pretty special and I’m incredibly grateful for these moments of joy as a family. #1000gifts #sinksfamily #ohlittlejames
Matchy-matchy! My mama heart is melting. Parent is rough. So rough some days. . But oh it is worth it! These boys make a smile and laugh every day and it is a joy to watch them learn and grow. . I’ve been reminding myself lately to slow down. Slow down my brain and my body to go at their pace. It’s always better when I do. . Happy Saturday. #sinksfamily #ohlittlejames #heysweetpeter #1000gifts #matching #brothers
We did simple this year. One friend. One super simple, super special day. And it was wonderful. . These are the days. And I’m so very thankful. . Thankful for this boy who made us parents. Thankful for three years of his little life. Thankful for growth and joy and surprises and dreams fulfilled. Thankful for birthdays! . Happy birthday my sweet James! #sinksfamily #ohlittlejames #threeyearold #ourfriendshavecutekids #1000gifts
