WHO WE ARE ♥️ Do you have “Family Tenets” WHO WE ARE ♥️

Do you have “Family Tenets”? What are the pillars of your family culture? What are the driving factors that shape your decision making from season to season as a family?

Our steps of faith and transitions and moves as a family may LOOK random, radical or head-scratching from the outside looking in, but every step we’ve taken has been undergirded by our consistent family tenets. (Tenets the kids even helped us summarize & write out a few years ago on a roadtrip!)

Adventures and decisions, big and small, are easier when you know who you are as a family and what your priorities are. I hope sharing our family tenets helps kickstart your creativity as you think about the pillars of your “yeses”, “nos”, “stay puts” and “let’s gos!”

What are some of YOUR family tenets? Comment below! 👇🏼
‼️ANOTHER LAYER TO THE MIRACLE?! ‼️ If you ‼️ANOTHER LAYER TO THE MIRACLE?! ‼️ If you ever doubted that the Lord is always RIGHT on time, that He is mindful of every single detail (big and small) of your life, that He hears even the most nuanced details of your prayers…please let our testimony remind you and encourage you of His faithfulness!

If YOU concern yourself with pursuing intimate relationship with the Lord, walking in obedience, hungering for righteousness, and seeing HIS Kingdom come…He will surely handle the rest on your behalf. 😭😭 

Thank you, Jesus! You are GRACIOUS and kind…abounding in steadfast love. In both the times where we are the ones making the sacrifices, and in the time where we are the ones on the receiving end, You are faithful. Hallelujah!
Mothers, which of these reminders did you need the Mothers, which of these reminders did you need the most?
Not too long ago we had an opportunity set before Not too long ago we had an opportunity set before us that seemed perfect. It would have provided a salary for my husband, benefits for our family, school scholarships for our children, answers to where we would live, and structure to our ministry operations back in the U.S. We were expectant and hopeful through the process and we diligently prayed the Lord would leads us in perfect sync with His will. In all honesty, we were hoping and figuring this WAS His will, since so many layers requiring faith at the moment would all seem answered at once.

Then, after weeks of waiting and praying we received an answer…no.

A few years ago my Type-A personality would have really struggled with this “closed door”. After all, a “no” means more faith is required, deeper reserves of prayer and faith must be pulled from, and waiting on the Lord must continue. (Often times when waiting feels like the most uncomfortable and inconvenient thing.)

But NOW, after journeying by faith for so many years, consistently seeing the character of God prove faithful and true, learning deeper measures of trust in His ways, receiving deliverance and having my mind renewed, being discipled, and growing under anointed leaders, we knew exactly how to respond. And not a moment was wasted in disappointment under the eyes of a King worthy of praise!

I pray these 3 practical tips help YOU.
Multigenerational Family Team 🤍 The other night Multigenerational Family Team 🤍 The other night, as we prayed over my mom & stepdad’s 9th anniversary, and stood in the house their redemptive love has built—the same house that is constantly so freely offered to us in our transitions and leaps of faith and changing seasons—my husband said something that struck me. He prayed over them and thanked the Lord for their union, without which we wouldn’t be standing in that very moment as a multigenerational family team. 

You know, I never expected my biological dad would commit suicide when I was just 19.

I never knew I’d have to navigate through trauma & find healing around the concept of a Heavenly Father who wouldn’t abandon me, as well.

I never expected to see my mom pick up the scraps of a broken union and hold together a hurting family unit, while navigating 7 years of singleness herself.

I never knew I’d discover the love of a selfless spouse after I had lost myself in the arms of others during my younger years. Nor did I know I would inherit an extended family who healed parts of my heart that I didn’t know were still hurting, just by watching the way they loved one another. 

I never knew I’d see my mom walk down a gardened aisle, nor did I know I would ever use the words stepdad, step siblings, and nieces and nephews on a new, grafted arm of our growing family tree.

I never knew I’d be blessed with 4 amazing, adventurous, healthy babies of my own and that I’d hear them say “DiDi” to a grandfather I’d only met a short while before they were born—but who was the only grandfather they’d ever known.

I never thought through how strange it would feel to not see my birth dad hold his granbabies, yet how easy and joyful it would feel to see their DiDi scoop them up into his loving arms.

I never knew we would travel the U.S. & need a “homebase” and live abroad, and need a roof over our head in the transition times. 

I never knew that a family the enemy once tried to decree “BROKEN” would become one the Lord declared “REDEEMED”. 

I never knew how the story would unfold, but looking at the youngest with his arms wrapped around oldest makes me grateful to our Savior for this multigenerational family team. ♥️
“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that TIMES OF REFRESHING may come from the presence of the Lord…” 💧🌸
