For the Kiddos

Here’s to hoping your Saturday is as chill as this girl’s• http://liketk.it/2RfEy #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKkids #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKfamily #targetstyle #targetdoesitagain #tbbc #frozen2 #atadmorefaith

An oldie but goodie. I remember this shoot with @madiflo so well! We ran all over town trying to find the best lighting in the middle of a rainstorm and finally just embraced taking pictures in the rain. I always have fun with Madi - but I remember laughing extra hard during this shoot. Guess we needed the rain. • On the blog today is a post call Someone Needed the Rain. A different way to approach a rainy day. And as I mentioned in my stories, there is a fun surprise at the bottom of the post. • I’ve linked up a couple similar styles of this dress and you can shop it in the @liketoknow.it app. • http://liketk.it/2QYJa #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKunder50 #LTKspring #LTKsalealert #atadmorefaith #faithblogger #womenintheword #converse #sayhi #pursuewhatislovely #targetstyle

Tonight this girl stood up at our neighborhood talent show and sang her heart out to the songs Rudolph and Waymaker. The same two songs she has sung at every weekly talent show performance since it started. Expect this time her mama started having eyes filled with tears of thankfulness because it was so good to see her joyful self back in action after a very hard weekend. • Thank you friends for the prayers, for letting us know you were thinking about her, for asking how she is doing, offering to bring dinner, just all the things. It means more to me than I will ever be able to express through an Instagram post. • After not walking for 4 days now Jane Taylor will look at us and go “Look at me I’m walking!” And we look, and tell her how proud we are, and give praise, and thank God for her healing. “God is good, God is good to me, God is good at being God” (- @lysaterkeurst)

This girl. She sure is tough. The last couple days have been hard. She has felt very dizzy, vomiting, and struggling to be in any other position besides laying down. Since she wasn’t showing any signs of improvement, her neurologist recommended that we head to the hospital. There, we were relieved to find that her scans were clear and that there is no big bad scary things in that smart little brain of hers - Praise to the Lord. They believe it’s migraines or vertigo causing all this pain. And y’all, it’s hard to watch. We are home - again. Praise God. She is still hurting but also laughing and smiling and asking for lots of food. Which are all good signs. • Here’s the other crazy thing about this day. A year ago, I was sitting in the ER at Mass General Hospital in Boston because I was bleeding so much and so quickly due to my Subchorionic hematoma tearing again and bigger than before. That day, the dr looked at me and said my baby had a 50% chance of making it to a full term pregnancy. Words that were very heavy and scary to hear. • On both of these days, fear tried to take over. The enemy wanted me to sit in fear that God couldn’t hear my prayers, that the worst was coming. Finding the truth of His love can feel challenging when you’re being surrounded by tests, and drs and nurses. But we have an army of God’s people who texted and called and even FaceTimed to read stories to Jane Taylor that reminded us over and over again that He is here and loving us. For that I am so thankful. • So now we pray that Jane Taylor rests and feels better soon - we are not out of the woods yet but not in the deep dark forest. And we give thanks a little louder that Lampley came out on the 50% side of that chance we prayed for. And we snuggle up at the farmhouse as a family watching PBS Kids, resting, and eating all the comfort things. “God is good. God is good to me. God is good at being God “ - @lysaterkeurst

Jane Taylor couldn’t let Peyton be the only UT fan playing golf this weekend ⛳️• So thankful that the weather has been just all the praise hands for the long weekend. But most thankful to the hero’s who gave their life for our freedom. Because of them we can play without worry and there are no words to describe how grateful I am. Praying over their families today. ❤️• This little outfit from @thebeaufortbonnetcompany is by far my favorite! Jane Taylor was so excited to have her own “golf dress”. To shop her little golf set & dress go to @liketoknow.it app and follow aTADmorefaith. • Hope you all have a safe weekend! http://liketk.it/2Py9K #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.family #LTKkids #LTKfamily #StayHomeWithLTK #tbbc #beaufortbonnet #thewelltodoreview #atadmorefaith

There was the tiniest thunder storm that rolled past our house last night. Even though it didn’t last very long, the big booms were loud enough to make this girl worry. So we snuggled in the big bed and waited for the storm to pass. She ended up falling asleep on me - a rare event to happen at this age. It’s a moment I’ll cherish forever. • I kept telling her that thunder can’t hurt her and to not be afraid. But no matter how many times I told her, she didn’t feel safe unless she was in my arms. And I’m completely fine with that. The sound of thunder is scary - especially when you are 2! • The sound of thunder is almost like the what if’s of fear. “What if _____ happens.” It sounds scary - but it can’t hurt you. At least not in the moment where panic sets in over events that haven’t even happened yet. • I battle that kind of thunder daily. And constantly have to remind myself to rest in the arms of His love. To find protection in the fact that He will protect me through all my worries and what if’s. All I need to do is turn to Him and not my fears. And I will continue to work to find rest in that truth every single day. • “I sought the Lord, and He answered me & recused me from all my fears.” - Psalm 34:4 • #atadmorefaith #farmkids #faithblogger #faithoverfear #psalm34 #womenintheword #raisingthefuture #daughtersoftheking #fearlessmom #herviewfromhome
