You know what?
•
I get to go on a last minute date with this guy tonight. •
Do we know where we are going? •
Nope. •
This morning so decided to text a few girls who babysit for us to see if they were available to watch the kids.
•
My friend Laura said, “YES!”
•
And the heavens rejoiced, because I need a few moments with my man before it’s 9 p.m. and I am tired. •
I have tried this technique before and it didn’t work out, but today it did and I am grateful. •
What do you need today? •
Is there an action you can take to make it happen?
•
Maybe it is one on one time with one of your kids. A few moments of silence. A night off from cooking. Someone to take care of the bill you can’t pay.
A girls night out. A day off work. •
Ask God to show you the next action step you can take. •

My husband keeps me humble....
•
...by taking pictures of me every time I fall asleep, which is typically in the car with mouth open, double chin in full affect, slouched and belly protruded. •
It makes me laugh , but also reminds me of the harsh inner critic (aka. Irene) that lives inside me. •
All to often I allow her to speak lies over me. -You are fat.
-You look horrible.
-You aren’t making any progress.
•
It may take a while, but then I am reminded of the Holy Spirit that lives inside me desiring to fill my head and heart with truth. -Beauty is not the number on a scale or the size of pants you wear.
-Speaking harshly and critically about yourself doesn’t help with your inner or outer beauty.
-I am sanctifying you and pruning you each and every day for God’s glory not your glory. •
Two verses come to mind: - 1 Tim. 4:8: For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and life to come. - 1 Sam. 16:7: The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. •
Praise God, He is working on me.

Self-care is a word our culture has hijacked to include all sorts of activities that mostly promote vanity over care for one’s true self. •
What is something you do that breathes life into you?
•
What is something you do that helps you show up best for your people?
•
What is something you do that makes you feel most connected to God? •
I had to remind myself of the answers to those questions a few years ago, but I was miserable and wasn’t sure why. I sat in a counselor’s office and she helped me identify how to best care for myself, not in a selfish way, but in a “doing .... helps me show up for my people” way. •
Last night, my husband fed the kids, bathed them, and put them to bed, because I needed some “self-care.”
•
I put on my walking shoes and headed out on a quiet trail. I listened to music, I prayed, I thought out loud, and I looked around and noticed all of God’s creation. •
Then, I sat quietly on a chair for a bit and read a few chapters of my book before heading home. •
What is something that breathes life into you? •
What helps you best show up for your people?
•
What is something you do that makes you feel most connected to God?
•
Do that

The 2nd incredible thing that I got to do this week was attend @lauren_daigle Look Up Child concert and QA with two of my best friends. •
Y’all it was all I anticipated and then a WHOLE lot more. •
First, to further fuel my love for @bobgoff Lauren shared how he encouraged her to travel with Mr. Potato Heads, so she remembers her child-like wonder. (If you haven’t read or listened to #lovedoes or #everybodyalways , please do).
•
I asked a question about her music manager @leighholt , who ministered and encouraged me greatly during my college days. @lauren_daigle reply was just as I thought it would be, Leigh is an encourager and keeps me sane. I am so grateful for her and her friendship. •
Third, @scottmulvahill opened for Lauren. I loved hearing him again!
•
Fourth, I was introduced to @ahimusic for the first time and WHOA! His voice is like butter. So full of soul.
•
Fifth, @lauren_daigle , her band, and her back-up singers were ! I don’t have words for how much we enjoyed the whole evening, but I have shared a few music clips that will help. •
Thank you @leighholt . Friends, pray for Leigh’s dad. He is sick and she is there with him.

Sometimes you just gotta start tickling when you want their personalities to show in a photo •
We splashed in the waves , dug in the sand, ate crab legs, swam in the pool, and got sun ☀️ kissed during our last minute trip to the beach.
•
Do you take spur of the moment day/weekend trips or are you a planned trip only kind of person? •

How often do you go on date nights?⠀
•⠀
To be honest, we don’t go often enough. ⠀
•⠀
When we go out it takes us a few hours to unwind and get in the groove of conversing uninterrupted. Rarely, do we have the privilege of going on a date that lasts longer than a few hours, because we have a babysitter we need to go home and pay and relieve.⠀
•⠀
However, we do have the privilege of my in-laws flying to visit us every 2-3 months. Their here, so last night our date night lasted for 4 hours!!! It was so nice. We ate yummy food, drank delicious drinks, listened to music, conversed, and laughed a lot. ⠀
•⠀
I love this man. A LOT!! I am not so great at expressing it in day to day life, which is why date nights are so very good for us. @slcull0 •⠀
What do you like to do on date nights?
•⠀
Does it take you a few hours to unwind and engage with your man?

Happy Mother’s Day from one World’s Best Mother to another.⠀
•⠀
Remember, no matter your shortcomings, your young child thinks you are the World’s Best Mom.⠀
•⠀
Also remember, that title does not last, because we are raising little humans and we are humans ourselves, so mistakes are made, feelings are hurt, and personalities clash. ⠀
•⠀
Also remember, God’s grace can cover all of it. My children are small and one of my greatest fears is the lack of relationship with my adult children. While I don’t know the outcome I do know ⠀
⠀
“I am sorry” goes a long way.⠀
⠀
Reminding my self and my children that I mess up, I need the forgiveness of Jesus and the grace of God as much as they do is powerful. ⠀

Who’s with me? •⠀
I am not kidding, I saw this shirt and immediately texted my childhood best friend, @sarahsusanne79 , with multiple emojis and truth bombs. ⠀
•⠀
Then, I came home and ordered it from @rubysrubbish along with another favorite.
•⠀
If you are here and knew me in the 90’s, you know rap among other things was my jam.⠀
•⠀
If you are here and have known me in the 2000’s, you know Jesus is and will always be my jam. ⠀
•⠀
Looks like I am not alone I am a long way from the 90’s Amber and a long way from the Proverbs 31 woman!

@rubysrubbish Maybe, we should partner!?!? #podcast #christianpodcasters #graceenoughpodcast #rubysrubbishtees #alwaysjesus #proverbs31woman #whoswithme #teeshirts #christianpodcasters
