It's Always a Yes Unless It's a No

“It’s always a yes, unless it’s a no.” I heard this one parenting advice that will make parenting more worry-free and less stressful.

If they want to take a bath in their swimsuits, go ahead.

If they want to run across the field with only their nappies on, go run!

If they want to say hello to every single person at the grocery store, go at it!

If your one-year old wants to take a bite of the french fry of her big sister, just let her have it.

If your three-year old wants to sleep every single night with her newfound toy, no problem!

If it’s not going to harm them or hurt anybody, just say yes.

Bridal Shower Ideas

Hey pretty ladies! Throwing a bridal shower for your dear friend soon? Here are some ideas that you may want to explore :)

Just sneaking in a post to share how God has been good to me all my life :) Somehow, no matter how much I try or anyone tries, I haven't felt loved and I couldn't love the way God loves me. When I talk to people and I try to describe God's love, every analogy falls short... simply because His love is just so much more intense and it's unconditional. For this post, I want to share the role that love plays in allowing God to be the Lord of my life. :) When we talk about Lordship, it usually entails a sharp intake of breath and begrudgingly opening our hands to release something that we have held on for too long... but Lordship can also be a natural response to what is already made complete in us. Lordship, at its best, is an expression of love. :)

This Thing Called "Grace"

I'll be off work for the rest of the month (yaaaay!) and I'm excited to just sit in coffee shops, with my notebook on hand, or to plop a pillow on the bed and catch up on my reading list... Excited for the quiet stillness that the next several days would bring. There are still merry making days and huling-hirit parties but there will also be quiet times in which I could t just soak in everything and I know that it will do my soul well :) With all the busyness that this season brings, just taking a few moments to take everything in will do you good too :)

Celebrate joy!
