Fewer words Better listening Slower to judge Quicker to encourage

God uses the hardest parts in our lives to prepare us for the best parts.

Still amazed that I have the privilege of walking out the adoption journey with brave women. This is an amazing story. Take 5 min and be encouraged! ❤ #openadoption @Bethany #love bravelove.org/lauras_story

Grace doesn’t only mean that God forgives you, Grace also means He will guide you, protect you, and empower you. Grace has saved you, grace sustains you, and grace secures you.

God gives us “today” grace. We should only carry what we must on this day. Then tomorrow, we will have tomorrow’s grace. And six months from now, the grace for that day will greet us and help us carry the weight of that day.

@BossieBae_ They are showing the hard side of adoption.. I really applaud @TylerBaltierra @CatelynnLowell for showing this side.. #TeenMomOG

@TylerBaltierra @CatelynnLowell & @TylerBaltierra I am so proud of both of you. Carly will reflect on each visit & interaction with you. You are both highly esteemed by her. I admire your strength in very difficult circumstances & your endurance. You. Are. Loved. ♥️

I tried to hold it in as long as I could. Saying goodbye is honestly devastating. Especially when we don’t know what the future holds or how long it will be until the next visit

“Come to me (Jesus), all you who are weary and burdened, and I WILL give you rest.” Matt. 11:28 – A command, not a suggestion. A necessity, not a nicety. For this very moment, not when we get around to it.
