I wish I could go back in time and tell myself at

I wish I could go back in time and tell myself at 23 to trust and to not worry. The journey of infertility and loss will be long and painful, but you are not forgotten.
.
To tell myself at 25 to not lose hope, God sees you and you are incredibly loved by your Creator. To continue to pray despite the discouragement and constant heartache.
.
To tell myself at 27 that infertility does not define you. You are not less, because of what you perceive to be lacking. You are whole, complete and beautiful with or without a baby on your hip.
.
To tell myself at 30 that God's timing is not ours and He has an incredible plan. A plan to fulfill your heart's desires. A plan far greater than your timeline. The wait is never wasted.

Do you have a good morning routine? It has taken me almost six years and five kids later to establish, put into practice and recognize the importance of a good morning routine. Let this be said, it doesn’t always go perfectly or as planned, because children and motherhood are always fluid.
.
I have found that in taking the time to be intentional about the habits and routine that I do in the morning sets up the day, puts me in the right frame of mind and allows me to be better focused on the tasks ahead.

Joy. Do I really have it? Am I joyful during the t

Joy. Do I really have it? Am I joyful during the trials and crosses, the small ones and big ones alike. The spilled milk for the third time that day, being woken up seven times in one night and piles of laundry. The uncertainty of jobs, the loss of loved ones and sickness. Through it all do I maintain joy?
.
In those moments where I feel like it is being robbed from me, what is my response. Looking to myself is not enough and looking to the world only brings more confusion. The only answer is to look up. Look up to a God who is good. A God who loves infinitely and is forever faithful no matter what may come. To look up and remember happiness is fleeting, but true joy comes from knowing Christ.

Instagram vs reality, swipe for the live action of trying to get five kids to take a picture.
.
This picture came after the 18 month old screamed and flailed the entire second half of Mass. I left feeling defeated and my husband reminded me that in it there is found grace.

How do you explain death to a young child. The pas

How do you explain death to a young child. The passing, the permanency and the pain. All of it is empty, meaningless and morbid without the hope of the Resurrection. Without belief in the salvific act of Christ, death defeated and the hope of eternal life, our suffering is in vain and none of it makes sense. But because of faith and saving grace we know how the story ends.
.
O death, where is your sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55

Just a short two weeks ago I sat at my mother in-law's bedside and read to her Psalm 23. Last evening God called her home. This morning as I opened the daily Mass readings there it was, Psalm 23.
.
So many words I want to say, to describe an incredible woman but for now my heart just sits with the memories, the moments and the last words spoken to me.
