What a Month...

{pinterest...uploaded by user}
Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
Oh my friends I apologize for me absence...I'm sure you are all just devastated and waiting in anticipation of my reasons or just my next post. Well, here is both.

We had our week of draft which was so fun to hire but I missed the littles so very much as we were separate for 4 days straight. Seriously, I'm that mom that really misses them. My idea of needing time away as a mom is a walk in my neighborhood with my neighbor/dear friend (who also has an incredible Etsy store of the cutest stuff!) and the girls are quietly kickin' it in their stroller. So 4 days was hard...

Then we were hit with every disease known to man. Okay, not really but for 2.5 weeks of being cooped up in our nest it felt like every disease. This has been a very sick winter season for the littles and for the mommy. So blogging was literally the last thing on my mind. Sorry. Just bein' real!

But the germs are finally lifting and Psalm 91 is being prayed over our house a lot. I have the best community of friends that all were willing to help/cook/groceries/etc. Seriously...best friends ever!

So...now to get my mind back to blogging...I feel a bit empty but sometimes that is when the most random (otherwise referred to as most awesome epic) posts usually come from...be warned.


Be awesome & Love Jesus,

Happy Valentine's Day...



{source}
 Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
Well, it's LOVE day! For some of ya'll, you LOVE this LOVE day. For some of ya'll, you dread this love day. I think in high school I went back in forth. Some years I loved it and other years I just felt like I would never find my Troy (really bad High School Musical reference...I apologize).

Well, I am here to remind you of truths on this day, whether you love it or hate it)...
1. You are you for such a purpose.
2. You are created by a Creator.
3. You are beautifully beautiful.
4. You are not alone.
5. You truly are priceless.

Just remember this today. You, whether you have flowers or not, are precious to the Lord. Too sound super cheesy He is the Ultimate Valentine. Promise!

Be awesome & Love Jesus,

Facebook Timeline...


Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
Today I stand sit amazed at something called Facebook Timeline. The friends that have switched to this new dealyo (yep, a word!) I go to their home page and am completely baffled. I don't understand you Timeline and it might be the straw that breaks the camel's back or is that a pin?

I am hearing murmurs that next weeks everyone will be on this "timeline" version of facebook. Change is good, hard, but good. In this case I do not believe it to be true. The absolute only reason I am on facebook is for Kanakuk kamps...otherwise, I would say peace out to this world wide social media change the world site. But for kamp, I'll keep it.

So all this to say, today I don't want facebook. I don't want to learn timeline...but i will. yep, no sense in that statement but a girl has to embrace change, even in the social media world.

Be awesome & Love Jesus,

October Baby...

Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
Well, after reviewing Courageous a few weeks ago, some folks contacted me about previewing October Baby that is coming out March 23, 2012. I can't wait. I just watched the Trailer and it already has me curious and excited to see this journey of a movie...

Life IS precious. EVERY life.

Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
Well, if my littles were bigger we would for sure be signing the dotted line to go on this trip. Kanakuk is hosting a Mother/Daughter Retreat to New York City! Is a 2 year old too young to enjoy NYC and sit through Broadway musicals? Yeah, prob!

Here are the details. Go grab your momma (or momma go grab your girl(s))...

APRIL 19-22, 2012

(details: I actually have none but the dates but for all other actual details you can call or email Tracy at 417-266-3211 / tracy@kanakuk.com.)

Go! Sign up! It's NYC with your best friend (and if she isn't right now it's even more so the best time to go). Memories girls, memories!

Be awesome & Love Jesus,

February: The Month of Hearts...

{source}
Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
Well, I am sure most of you have realized it's February. Surprise! The month of Valentines, pink pink and pink, red, cards, flowers, dates, or in my case growing up as teenager between the years of 1995-1999, it meant a night of Celine Dion and begging for my 16 year old crush to be THE ONE and to arrive at my house for a surprise dance/dinner in my backyard. (very zach morris prom show or for those who don't know 90's TV, very zac efron in HSM). I never got flowers on Valentines. I never had a date, till college when a guy friend took me on a pity date. Trust me sweet girls that it's okay. You will survive. You are AWESOME.

I hated Valentines day...it's okay if you do too. It's normal. Just don't get all crazy and bitter??? Not cool.

Be awesome & Love Jesus,

He Does...

{source}
Hey K2 Kanakuk Friends,
He loves you.
He loves you.
He LOVES you.
He loves YOU.

Today I want you to hear that you are loved. No matter what the world is screaming at you. You are loved by the Creator that created you. When you live your life for Him, He loves you. When you don't maybe make great decisions and screw up, He LOVES you. His love doesn't change. His love is deeper than anything we can comprehend. When we feel at our worst, His love is still there.

Maybe all those sentences are cliches...but they are TRUE cliches. True promises. Remember them today!

Be awesome & Love Jesus,
