"Life is a highway, I wanna drive it all night long." . We are in the last stages of potty training our youngest son. Every time we go to the bathroom, he has to carry cars with him and line them up on my bathroom rug. . Maybe with my first born I wouldn't have let him bring the toys with him, but I'll be honest... I just want him potty trained and if this helps? I'll roll with it. . We all adjust our parenting a little with each child, and by boy#3... if letting him have this little routine gets it done, this mama will just keep on truckin'! . #2yearolds #pottytraining #kindredmom #parenting #boymomlife #boymom #christianmom #terrifictwos #gentleparenting #mamaistired #christianparenting #hopewriters

Day 2 of cold weather school cancellation for us here! . Do you know what your triggers are? . You know, the things that drive you nuts and make you want to lose your mind? . You probably do. Do you know what you need to bring yourself back? . I wrote this earlier in the month (clearly not today as it is in the negatives and not 60!!). I realized that sometimes when I feel like I am going crazy, there are a few things I can do for myself to bring me back from the brink of LOSING MY MIND :) . What do you need? . Link in my profile for the full post on finding ways to bring back your sanity as a mama! . #momsofinsta #kindredmom #christianmom #boymom #boymomlife #hopewriters #hopewriterlife #christiandevotional #parenting #snowday #helpmejesus #peace #fruitofthespirit #momsofboys #mobsociety #boyraisertribe

Glowing coals A slight shift and the sparks fly A shower of brightness . Steady burn, slow burn The warmth fills the room Pushing back the cold . May we bring the spark to others May we share our warmth with our neighbors May we push back the cold, the darkness With the Light . “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5 . #hopewriters #bethelight #jesusisthelight #writersofinstagram #loveyourneighbor #sharethegospel #christiancreative #christianwriters #shewritestruth #scripture #christiansofinstagram #goodnews

"Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. . They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck." ~Proverbs 1:8‭-‬9 NIV

Being a writer is serving others. Giving of ourselves with our words. Pouring ourselves out on paper, our wounds, our mistakes, our hearts for people to see. It’s so vulnerable, and I think that is why I both love and hate it. Love to drop the cloak of performance so that I can be real, honest, bare. Hate because it hurts if people don’t care, or find no value in it. . I’m learning to listen, in so many ways. Listen to the Word. Listen to my family. Listen to my friends. See the way forward, see the needs around me, lay down my pride. . Being a writer isn’t about books sold or site visits. It’s taking the world in around you, and putting it in a format that others can say, “Oh yeah, I see it now!” Then, their lives are in some way better for it. . I am a writer. . I am a hope*writer. #fridayintroductions #hopewriterday #hopewriters #hopewriterlife #iamawriter

I am a hope*writer. I love the sharing and encouragement that the hope*writers community brings. . If you want to be a part of it, remember the doors close tonight! @hopewriters (link in profile!) . "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24‭-‬25 #fridayintroductions #hopewriterday #hopewriters
