You Were Made for This

made-for-motherhood

You were made for this motherhood thing. I know sometimes you feel in over your head, I know some days you feel on top of the world, and a lot of days you feel a little bit of both. Today I want you to know that you were made for this, this specific moment right here, your specific children, everything about right now was meant just for you.

Everyone’s motherhood journey is different, so don’t compare yours. What makes up your motherhood is unique to you, and it’s a beautiful thing sweet mama, so embrace it. Who you are makes up how you mother, so embrace who you are. Your flaws, your mistakes, the beautiful, the strengths, and everything in between.

You were made with this moment in mind. Sweet mama, you were made for this.

I love seeing mama’s embrace everything about their motherhood journey and their walk. Even more so, I love seeing them be open about it and share their story with others. Becca opened up and shared a very vulnerable part of her story and it turned into something absolutely beautiful. Hear all about her story below and stay tuned for a giveaway.

When its comes to being creative/artsy I come by it naturally and have been drawing since i could pick up a crayon. I was really into art class in high school and even too AP which is essentially a college course! But like many things life happens and after getting married and having my son I just couldn’t find the time to do anything artistic (aside from photography of my son haha) well this April we decided to purchase an iPad, i saw this drawing app that was on the demo and decided to download it. Before i started drawing i prayed “Lord lead my hands in the direction in which honors you. I whipped up a family portrait representing all of us here and in heaven. Not thinking much of it i posted it on my personal/blog Instagram account and within a matter of minutes i had people requesting their own, a few hours later i had well over 20 and Sweet Little Portraits was born. I made a business Instagram account and set up my paypal & essentially the rest is history! What was just a portrait and a prayer has turned into so much more. Especially when it comes to those who are fellow angel mamas. Anytime i get a request for angels they are a 100% addition to any portrait. Overall this little business has been such a blessing to me, my heart and the hearts of so many others thus far. I’m so excited to see what the coming weeks and months have in store!

Isn’t her story beautiful? I just love how this is such a sweet way to treasure your family, those in our arms and those in heaven.

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.
