Welcome to day one of our anniversary week! We are so thankful to have you celebrating with us, especially on this significant day in history as we remember all those that have died in our nation’s service. We give thanks to God for His hand on our nation, on our lives, and over the eternal souls He has placed in our care. Eternal souls…wow! Oh how we mamas can impact eternity. It is a weighty calling, being a mama, but one that is also sewn up in grace (thank you, Jesus). Being an intentional mama takes time, energy, and a willingness to lay down our selfish ambitions. It’s hard. So we pray each day for the grace and wisdom to continue on in faith as we raise up our babes for His glory. Thank you for walking alongside us on this motherhood journey.

Would you now take a quick moment to watch the below video? We are so thankful for this community and are excited to continue the journey with you…
