Hi, I'm Jenny. Life is beautiful and hard.

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I hope to encourage you through stories of the hard, heart, and humorous parts of my life, woven together with threads of hope and faith.

What I do know is this: God is working even when life is not. God is good even when life is not. And God has good plans even when all of mine fall apart.

I’m so glad you’re here.

The small big news of the week is that I can see brown earth. Mud. Dead grass. And I am celebrating. It’s been 4+ months, friends. Since sometime mid-December. Maybe earlier? The endless winter days have become a blur of nothingness, but change is slowly creeping in. And I’m smiling.
Today’s volume of #savorthesmall includes:
🔅Brown earth!
Even though we’re still very much surrounded by piles of (dirty) snow.
🔅Sunshine on the way to school.
🔅The feeling you get when the floors are clean (which isn’t often enough.)
🔅Money from heaven? Okay, okay, I know money doesn’t fall from heaven, but the fact that it showed up, on DRY ground, after a stressful morning felt like some kind of sign (even though I don’t really believe in signs.)
What’s the small big news in your world?

What do I love more than a book about motherhood?

What do I love more than a book about motherhood?
A book about motherhood that includes the too-often experienced, but not-talked-about-enough experiences of pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss.
The Beauty of Motherhood is a work of the heart that speaks to the hearts of moms in the early years of motherhood—and yes, even the heartbreaking parts.
Thank you @erinstrybis and @kknowlezeller for using your voices to speak so beautifully into the motherhood experience—heartbreaking parts and all.
Motherhood IS beautiful, and it’s hard, and this book invites us to experience God in all of it.
And you can grab your copy of The Beauty of Motherhood TODAY! From your favorite book retailer ♥️

To the mom who feels like a failure for:
Not adhering to unsolicited advice. Not meeting someone else’s expectations. Not keeping up with superficial cultural standards—
Remember this:
Your duty isn’t to gain a person’s approval. It’s not to live up to someone else’s expectations. It’s not to keep up with cultural demands. Your duty is to walk with God, love your kids, and meet their needs. That’s it. Your duty does not require perfection or impressiveness.

“What's been going on with you?” an acquaintan

“What's been going on with you?” an acquaintance asks, and I rack my brain trying to think of an adequate answer.
“Not much,” I finally say with a shrug and a sigh.
The days vanish before I really even have a chance to notice them, and in the moment all I can think of is the daily repetition of mundane tasks.
Nothing to report here, I think.
Later, I decide to go through the photos on my phone in order to delete some because my phone storage is full. Again.
And it is there, in the middle of deleting mishaps and multiples that I see the images that capture not only the fullness of each week, but also the goodness that so easily gets lost somewhere between the monotony and chaos.
There is so much life happening in these ordinary days—small moments that seem insignificant. But, since life is made up of mostly small moments and unremarkable days, wouldn’t I be wise to savor them?
This weeks volume of #savorthesmall includes:
-No sound but the crunch of snow beneath our boots.
-And about the snow—I am no longer savoring it. But I am savoring the goodness of this man who has removed A LOT of snow from not only our driveways, our neighboring driveways. For his sake, let the winter madness end!
-Thank God that bath time shenanigans still exist in this house.
-Middle school band concert because what’s more entertaining than witnessing the awkwardness of sixth graders in concert attire and what’s more beautiful than hearing them play music?
-There’s nothing this dog loves more than attention, and lucky for him, the two youngest humans in the house love to give it to him.
-Cats. Always cats. Their presence is therapy.
