We’ve gone from arguing over our good sides, to just making sure the tiny humans’ faces can be seen. We have celebrated MANY seasons of life together, but sometimes it feels like nothing has changed. 💙
Thanks @parkerpamplin. @pamp3 and I finally found what was missing in our fishing extravaganzas! Fishing trifecta. PS: @sanjuansports, check out my new fav hat! #lakeouachita #visitarkansas #explorearkansas
Yesterday, I was filling out a questionnaire for my new job. One of the questions asked “What’s your earliest memory?” That’s something I’ve never really stopped to consider. When do we really start soaking it all in? Took me a few seconds, but a vivid memory of me carrying a pink overnight bag into a weird building, as I scrambled to keep up with my mom and dad popped in my head. I don’t know alllll the details, but I’m pretty sure that memory was from 24 years ago today! Life just wasn’t fun until you arrived, sister. And if it was, I surely can’t remember it! Happy Birthday @parkerpamplin !
Life tried to tell me I couldn’t do this. What a silly thing that would’ve been to listen to. This is just a small part of the tribe who helped me get here. I’m forever grateful for my people. 💙👊🏼🤓
These are my mom’s old boots. One time, my dad cleaned out the garage and gave them to Goodwill. My mom went and bought them back. They’re heavy. Wish I was back on top of #butterflycreek in #creedecolorado this morning!
I walked into church, for the first time in a few weeks, this morning. Life’s been busy, blah blah blah. I felt angry, ugly and completely disconnected. THEN, I felt angry at myself for feeling disconnected. I dunno what you know about mental health, but I hope that gives you an idea of how endless it can feel sometimes. I’m no expert, but I know how unpredictable depression and anxiety can be. I used to make excuses for it, but now I try my hardest to be stronger than IT. This means changing my self-talk. “Breathe.” “Surrender.” “Pray.” “Go outside.” Today I tried going to my “happy place,” during worship, which is the mountains for me. Specifically this place right here. This picture doesn’t look like much. If you would’ve heard and Jennifer and Paul Harrison explaining it to me, though. WHOA. This photo is the burn. About 5 years ago, 3 wildfires merged together to devastate Colorado. So the top black-toothpick-lookin’ things...that’s the burn—the devastation. The green is the new growth. Among the new stuff are other new things like, mushrooms, wild strawberries and traces of wildlife. Nature taking back what’s hers. Proof of MORE than us. So, I’m imagining myself standing there to erase the doubt brought on by my disconnect this morning. I’m “standing there” to combat the ugly, angry, insecure thoughts I had this morning. Then, they break into this part of the old hymn, “Holy Ground.” Well, THAT worked. My point is, sometimes the negative self talk IS too much for me, but it’s never too much for Him.
