Prom 2026 by @_rootedliving

Having a front row seat to all the Lord has done in your life these last 9 months has been a blessing. He restored dead things, he has birth,shaped and refined you into the woman he is preparing for your future.

Your “yes” came with a cost, but Heaven has marked you forever.

So proud of you, my love, for completing year 1 . For the beautiful way you continue to follow Him with courage and faith.

Love you @makaylak_77 and congratulations 🤍 by @_rootedliving

🚨🚨🚨🚨

In just three months, my baby girl will graduate high school🥹🥹, I have watched her work hard in silence, staying focused and determined, earning Distinguished Honors throughout her high school journey. Her dedication speaks volumes.

I am proud of the young woman you are becoming @siennakell1 . You love Jesus, love his church , and carry yourself with such class and integrity. You have the most generous heart. Such a humble servant.

I love and soaking up our quality time together this season. Watching you navigate this year without your bestie @makaylak_77 at home has been such a transition but you have handled it with grace and maturity.
Continuing to grow and step into your own.

I am so excited to see what God has in store for you mama. Your future is bright!!

The countdown begins!!

Papa @__justin_kelly__ and I are very proud of you. Our birdy🐦 💕

Lets gooo!! by @_rootedliving

We love our @pleasantvalleyag fam!!

From couples married 38 years to those celebrating 6 years, the room was filled with good company, laughter, and so much love. We celebrated not just romance, but covenant, commitment, and all God has done — and continues to do — in our marriages.
There’s something powerful about gathering with amazing couples who are saying “yes” to growing together year after year. 💖

And guess what…
March 27–29 — MARRIAGE RETREAT!
Mark your calendars, save the date, and get ready for an unforgettable weekend invested in your forever.

Love is worth celebrating. Marriage is worth investing in. 💕 by @_rootedliving

@__justin_kelly__ —Today I celebrate you. I know you don’t love the spotlight—but 🤷‍♀️

I broke down some of your traits with your name😘

J — Jesus-centered
Your life is rooted in Christ. You’re not perfect, but your heart is committed—growing daily, choosing faith, and letting Jesus shape the way you love and lead.

U — Unconditional love
The love you pour into me and our daughters is steady, selfless, and unwavering. It’s the kind of love that mirrors Jesus—shown not just in words, but in your presence, protection, and sacrifices.

S — Servant-heart
You give freely—your time, energy, and gifts—without keeping score. Helping others is who you are!!!

T — Teacher
You love learning and sharing your wisdom. Whether through your example, your guidance, or a conversation.

I — Integrity & loyalty
You are dependable. When you commit—you stay. Your word matters, and your loyalty is real to your family , friends, clients and whoever God aligns you with.

And lastly

N — Nurturer
You care for people. Whether cooking a meal ( we all love your meals) or offering help.

I am so grateful and blessed to be married to a man who brings fun and joy to our life , who leads with quiet strength, and loves loudly,

Happy birthday, my King! 👑❤️ by @_rootedliving

Today we did our annual New Year day winter hike and while walking in the woods I notice all the dead trees around us.

But these trees are not dead. They are dormant. Waiting for the perfect season to come back to life.

A tree has seasons where it doesn’t bear fruit. It stores up resources, looking exposed, naked. Waiting.....

Winter, a season of its own beauty.

Marriage can be alot like that. All different seasons.

Maybe you’re looking at your marriage today like it's dead or frozen.

But I have a question, doesnt our God not raise dead things?

He has the power to bring greenness, and fruit, though it may not arrive when and how we see it in our head.
God knows what we need and how to find us.

Spring is coming and these trees will bear fruit.

His version of spring as it needs to happen is coming for you too.

Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. (Isaiah 30:18)

If you are in a place where you are viewing your spouse, marriage or your self dead. Confess to God and believe he will create beauty and goodness. Ask him for help to release your own version and fill you with hope for whatever He wants to give you.

Join Jay @__justin_kelly__ and I for a workshop on your marriage vision for 2026.

It will be at our church January 18th from 5 to 8pm.

Lets build on purpose

Happy New Year!! by @_rootedliving

1 week ago today, I lost a remarkable woman, my abuela.

Ana D...

A woman of strength, sassiness, and love ❤️

A woman who could bring new life to things that were worn out or forgotten.

A woman who loved her salsa music

A woman who planted seeds in my life

A woman that I am so much alike

I am forever grateful that God chose her to be my abuela.

Well done, Wela. Good and faithful one. Welcome home ✝️🕊 by @_rootedliving

To my wife.. the one who holds my heart in her hands.. you are my favorite part of each day.. the smile I need when I have a tough day.. the hands that bring healing, love, compassion and most importantly PRAYER..

Feels like we just dropped you off at kindergarten @siennakell1 🥹. You're a senior now!!! Im so proud of you

The final chapter, Mama. Let's go👏👏 by @_rootedliving

Left a piece of my heart in Florida last night. I always wanted you to fly, but I didn't expect that you would fly states away. God already knew.

Feeling all the emotions being home without you but so grateful the Lord granted us time together this week. It's always been us 4 and will take some time to adjust.

We raised you and your sister to be strong and courageous women . You have an amazing heart , you are kind , compassionate, humble, resilient, and full of integrity.
I am so proud that you are pursuing God and excited and grateful we have courtside seats to see all God has for you.

I am grateful for the people that God has chosen to pour into you. It takes a village.

You're not leaving home. you're just expanding the reach of it. We love you so much Kay.

Go soar, baby 🦅. @makaylak_77
