POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Nine years ago, I promised to love you in the good times and the bad, when life seemed easy and when it seemed hard, when our love was simple and when it was an effort.

I understand those words so much differently now.

It’s easy to look at the highs and the highlights and call that love. But I’m learning that love is revealed just as much in how we respond in the lows.

We haven’t always gotten it right, but maybe that’s where we learn what love really is.

Love is patient. Love is kind. It keeps no record of wrongs. It always hopes, always perseveres, and endures through every circumstance.

9 years later, I don’t want to just remember the vows I made to you. I want to live it better.

“These things I give you today and all the days of my life.”

Happy 9 years my love🤍 by @amythystb

Our only assignment was to make somewhere they’d actually want to hang out.

Might’ve taken that a little too seriously. 😂

We can’t control how life unfolds, but we can trust the heart of the One who does.

This little boy is already so loved, and we’re trusting God with every part of his story.

Let’s talk TESTIMONY🤍

I spent a lot of my life as a victim.

My childhood was marked by neglect, abuse, addicted parents, and as the oldest of five children, I was given responsibilities I never asked for and I became an adult much sooner than I should have.

I spent most of my young adulthood running. Trying to gain back something I felt I’d lost. Trying to be a child again. Passing off responsibilities and blaming my upbringing for my poor choices.

Somewhere along the way, I went from being a true victim to an adult with a victim mentality.

Negative thinking. Lack of motivation. Lack of accountability. Making excuses for every way I knew I was failing.

All the while, I claimed to know Jesus. I claimed to be a Christian. But I was living in bondage to my past and striving to fill a void that only Jesus could fill.

Some people have a singular life-changing moment they can point to and say, “That was the day I surrendered to Jesus.” For me, it was years of praying, failing, not understanding, surrendering, falling again, and getting back up. I don’t know the exact moment He changed me, but He changed me.

True healing, fullness, and freedom can only be found through Him. We were never meant to carry all of that heaviness on our own.

I own my testimony. I’m not proud of every choice I’ve ever made, but I wouldn’t change what God has done within me and through my life for one second. I count it all as a blessing.

The old me would have wallowed in my sorrows and numbed the pain. But a daughter of the Most High sees every detail as something He’s up to, and I trust His plan completely.

If you ever want to talk about Jesus, faith, or testimony, I’d love to chat. 🤍 by @amythystb

For Momma,

We always think there will be more days.
But our breaths are numbered, and there are no promises of tomorrow… or even another minute.

I’m mourning the moments wasted being too angry or too prideful to fully let go.
The opportunities I passed up to stay a little longer, answer the message, make the call, or pull into the driveway instead of driving past.

At the same time, I’m rejoicing with Heaven because you’ve met Jesus face to face.
I know your heart longed for this day, and I’m so happy for you.

But I miss you already🤍. by @amythystb

No one talks about how as your kids get older, you have less and less photos of them on your phone. I always love looking through them and remembering that little face… but I love even more looking at the beautiful woman you’re becoming today. I’m so proud of you. You’re beautiful soul, my love. I know 20 is going to be an amazing year for you. 🤍 Happy Birthday to my always baby girl💕 by @amythystb

I never would have dreamed God could use someone like me. My failures, mistakes, shame in my past, but He still chose to place me here.

I’m utterly humbled every single time I step out. Some days I feel like an imposter here. It’s not my job to question why, but to continue to step forward in faith, obedience, humility.

Even more so, I am humbled by His grace, His mercy, His love. That He chose me before I breathed my first breath and still chooses me after every mistake, every failure, in every season whether I’m thriving or stumbling through, and he’d do it all again for me.

I’m just so grateful🤍 by @amythystb
