Katie on Blogging

Today I get to introduce you to another beautiful woman of God, Katie. She is such a sweet girl with an amazing heart for God. I absolutely love what she says here about blogging. Make sure you take the time to visit her blog, you’re sure to make a new friend!

******************************************************************************

Since starting to become more intentional
with my blog and being active in this huge blogging community I have learned so
much. Today I’m going to share one of my preconceived thoughts that I’m
thankful to be wrong about. I used to believe if you didn’t have children I had
nothing to learn from you. That if you didn’t have children you possibly
couldn’t understand my yearning for more than the
same-thing-every-day-overwhelming-life.

 

But what I have found out is that 

 

Nadine can speak life into you. She has such a huge heart to just
love on you through her writing.

 

Erin  can remind your heart how much of a treasure you are in
Christ and to find your worth in Jesus and not a man.

 

Kenz has just this special way of smiling
that reminds her and everyone around her that God is in control and that He
uses what we see as terrible for His glory.

 

Amy oh this girl how I love her!!!

It’s funny how often we have been going
through the same spiritual stuff and we are in total different walks of life.
She is so sweet & encouraging!!!

 

Ashley is all about living dangerously for
Jesus. If you need someone to speak life & encouragement into you seek her
out! She will. 

 

Katie‘s blog posts will allow your heart to
start dreaming. Actually when I first started reading her blogs I skipped
around and became very frustrated. Not in what she said or how she writes but
because I wasn’t allowing myself to dream with Jesus.

 

– – – – – – – 

 

After becoming pregnant with my twins
while in college, even though  I was married, I suddenly felt so alone in
the friend world. I felt like I had some disease.

So from then I pretty much rejected the
thought of ever being friends with anyone who didn’t have kids.

And even then friendship became this
unattainable thing in my head.

Blogging gave me the chance to learn gently.

 

Give yourself the chance.

You just never know the people God has
sent your way to teach you more about Him & prayer & encouragement!

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
