Project You Are More

Project

 

Today is the day! If you follow along with me on Facebook or Instagram you would have seen that I had a special announcement coming today. Well…I guess it’s time for the special announcement.

Project You Are More has officially launched with some more t-shirts! You can purchase all shirts right here on my blog by visiting the shop tab.

Shirt-Collage

So you may be asking, what is Project You Are More? So, let me tell you a little bit about the heart behind this project.

You Are More started off with the heart to encourage young women in their identity and encouraging them to find it in who God says they are. Growing up I wrestled with where to find my identity and from every direction there was something screaming to tell me who I was and it left me pretty confused. I knew I wasn’t the only one. So there birthed the vision for this space.

As this space grew, it took another path and I wondered if it still held true to representing its name. And then God began to open my eyes to everything that was behind the name that has been with this space since birth.

Struggling with the concept of being more doesn’t just follow us through high school and college, it follows us through our entire life. There is so much in this world screaming to tell us who we are and what our worth is, but leave us feeling empty still. Our identity can’t be found in what we do, what we accomplish, or even in what we fail to complete. Our identity can’t be placed in things that so often change. Our identity is much more than our success and failures. We are much more than that. And there is a God who wants to show us just how much we mean to Him.

Every shirt that is birthed in Project You Are More comes with a message that God is speaking to my heart. A message that shouts that who I am is much more. What I do day to day holds much more worth than what I see right before my eyes. And it is shouting that same message to you as well. You are more.

So join in Project You Are More with me and let’s shout this message to everyone we know. Will you share this project with your friends? Will you purchase a shirt to share the message? Let’s shout it from the roof tops and let’s whisper the message to our hearts until we believe it!

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.
