Thankful you are here!

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

9 years ago today, 10/10/11, her little sister was born. And in a little over an hours time, her little sister died.

She was only 1 at the time, so naturally, she doesn’t remember it, only the stories we have told her from that day. But the hard life lessons and absolute truths Jolee Kate (and our boys, too, for that matter) has learned since then she remembers well and fiercely holds on to - that life is fragile, that life should never be taken for granted, and that life is truly a gift!

I always knew and believed these same truths all my life, but the reality of these truths really set in when it’s you. When all of a sudden you are the one burying your own child (something no parent should never have to do) that’ll give you an entirely different perspective, and one that unfortunately you simply have to live out to truly fully understand.

But yet with all the tears we have shed over the years, including today as well, we have countless more smiles, because our hope and our trust is in Him. He is so good, and He is so faithful!

If you’ve gained anything at all from following @aaronwatsonmusic and I over all these years, I hope you’ve gained that knowledge and accepted it as truth. Because it is.

Life doesn’t have to make sense to us for God to be good. He simply is! In good times and in bad times, God is still good! And until He returns or calls me home, I will forever proclaim that truth!

If I am being completely honest, sometimes I wonder why I am even present on social media.

My account isn't exactly a business, it's not a revenue stream of sorts, I’m not exactly a fashion blogger, (however I can, and I will, share with you the best pajamas on the market like it’s my job!)…that sort of thing.

I'm just the wife of a country music artist, who considers herself to be pretty normal. I am the first to admit that I don't know nor do I have the desire to make crazy reels and TikTok videos. Boring? Perhaps. But I just don’t know how to be anything other than me!

So, I often ask myself what y'all want to see from my page; what it is that even brings you here? And when I consider leaving, I get sweet messages that say “keep being you” and so I continue to show up, sharing little pieces of our family, and random thoughts that touch my heart.

And then, when I get messages from y'all or notes like these, it validates that my time in this space is perhaps worth it after all. Your words are an encouragement to me. Thank you! To know that I can make a positive impact on someone I may not ever know otherwise, in ways far greater than I could think up myself, is reason enough to keep showing up.

So, thank you for choosing to be here, for your kind words, and for letting me share all the daily randomness, with sprinkles of Jesus and His love for you along the way!

I hope that my content here not only make your days brighter, but that I remind you of what, and more importantly of who really matters, and that the God of all creation, created and loves you! Yes, I said YOU! by @ms.kim.watson

Busy, sweet month of May!

Senior Sunday, Jack’s lesson at church, Baccalaureate, St John’s Coming Home, Jolee Kate’s NHS induction, Junie joins the family, trip to see George in Austin, and AW and Jake continue touring away!

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget Jack’s graduation pictures. They will be up next, but I’m still drying my tears from that one. ;)

This growing up thing is hard, but I am so very thankful to be their mom and having a front row seat to it all. Such a gift from God! 🩵🩵🩷🩷 by @ms.kim.watson

To be a parent is to shape a future you may not fully see, but one in which you greatly influence. It is a weighty calling, but also one of the most beautiful privileges we are ever given. I am forever grateful to be their momma, and my prayer always remains the same: that in all the areas we as parents fall short, that God comes in and fills in the gaps, as only He can do.

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm‬ ‭127‬:‭3‬-‭5‬

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” - Deuteronomy‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭7‬

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” - Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭6‬ by @ms.kim.watson

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the prayers. And one day, my precious nephew will be able to come here and see just how many were filled with compassion and how many were honored to pray for him and his sweet momma. I pray he feels the love both now and in the days to come. by @ms.kim.watson

He loves you so. Get to know him. Life here on earth, and life eternally…it all begins with him.

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.” - Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭28‬

“Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” - John‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭5‬

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” - Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬ by @ms.kim.watson

Attention Vegas and NFR - be on the lookout for these two! You might see them as full grown men, but this momma still remembers them as these little guys. ;)

Parenting has a funny way of making you burst with pride and also want a redo, all at the same time. In an instant, a lump forms in my throat as I attempt to hold in the tears thinking of how much I love these boys. What I wouldn’t give to be able to go back, swoop down and pick them up, and hold their little squishy hands in mine.

Somehow I blinked and they are grown, and walking around Vegas without me. But I know the teachings I’ve tried to instill in them are walking around with them as well, both this weekend and wherever they go in life. And I am fairly certain every now and then they can even hear my voice! Ha! But isn’t that what we want as parents, for our attempted teachings and prayers spoken to actually stick, and help guide and direct them in life as adults?

***What’s some of the best advice you were given as a child or even in your adult years that has proven to be true? Words that have stuck with you to this day? Or maybe words you wish you’d of listened to better? I’d love to know and I’d love if you’d share here for others to read and be encouraged by.*** by @ms.kim.watson

Dear Daughter,

Where does one begin? How does one string together words in an attempt to describe the beauty I see in you and the countless prayers I have prayed over you? From the moment you were born, you were my absolute dream come true. I could not have ever dreamt up anything more beautiful than you.

I pray you always love deeply, and that you are loved deeply in return. Be gracious and loyal, humble and kind, but never compromise your values for acceptance. Know your worth, be picky, and never, ever settle.

Remember that you are not a number. Not a number on a scale, nor a number on a test. And, despite what the world may try to tell you, likes, comments, and shares will never equate to value, worth, or love.

Hear these words and believe them: that you were created by God - the same God that carefully carved the rivers and streams, and cast the stars up in the sky. Every last detail of your very being was made on purpose, and God called it “good.” Resist the urge to scroll and compare, because God’s design in you is perfect. You, my angel-girl, are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Know that life can, at times, be excruciatingly painful, but trust that He never will leave you. Hold on tight & cling to Him - always cling to Him.
Trust that God is good and hold fast to His promises, because they are true. Look to the Lord in all you do, read His word daily, and remember when all else fades, He remains.

When life feels overwhelming and uncertain, look around you and see hints of His glory everywhere. Look up at the sky, stand in awe of His greatness, and call out to Him. Believe deeply, hold firmly to your faith, and know that God is your truest friend - one that you can always depend on and whom will never walk away.

And lastly, always choose Jesus.
Choose Him in the hard.
And choose Him in the easy.
When it’s chaotic, and when it’s peaceful - Choose Him!
Choose Him in your sadness.
Choose Him in your joy.
Never, ever, ever stop choosing Him! by @ms.kim.watson

He taught me how to scrub a commode, how to read a road map, to appreciate corn on the cob at the fair, and that you should never skip dessert.

He taught me to strategically play Hearts, Spades, and his favorite, Pinochle. But to win at the mindless game of Spoons, simply watch your opponents, and be ready to grab. Ha!

He taught me to respect my elders, to always tell the truth, and that God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason, suggesting perhaps we should listen twice as much as we talk.

He taught me to work hard, share with those in need, and to never take anything for granted, for what is here today might be gone tomorrow, and we won’t be taking any of it with us when we go, because it all belongs to God anyway.

He taught me that the Bible is true, that God’s grace is the most precious gift of all, and that Jesus is all we truly need. That life is gonna happen either way, with or without Him, but that he’s lived it both ways, and it’s a whole lot better with Him.

He has taught more about life than anyone else, but most of all, he has taught me to fully trust in and faithfully follow the Lord. He reminds me nearly every time we talk to “keep your focus on the guy above!” to which I reply, “Don’t worry, Daddy, I promise I always will.”

Each time I hug him goodbye, we cry. And it’s ugly. Yesterday was no exception. But it’s also beautiful. Because while not perfect, he has been an absolute treasure of an earthly father, constantly pointing me to my Heavenly Father throughout his life.

There is truly no one quite like him, and if you’ve ever met him, you likely agree. He’s been an incredible provider for our family, my biggest supporter, and my constant protector in life. But the greatest gift of all has been his example of living a life devoted to loving and serving the Lord, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Already planning my next trip to see him again! ❤️ by @ms.kim.watson

We had a great weekend in Searcy at @hardinguniversity. Another college visit down, and at least one more remains.

I have been praying for his decision, that God would lead him where he is supposed to go, and wherever that ends up being, as long as he takes Jesus along with him, I know he will be just fine.

Now to find my Kleenex because this back-to-back senior stuff is hard! Thankfully we will have a year off before its sister girls turn to graduate.

Time is a thief, but also a gift. So thankful I’ve been able to be their momma. by @ms.kim.watson
