Embrace Your Chaos

“When you look at your everyday circumstances though the lens of God’s perspective, everything changes. You come to realize that God uses each circumstance, each person who crosses your path, and each encounter you have with Him as a divine appointment. Each day counts, and every action and reaction matters. God absolutely loves to take ordinary people and do extraordinary things in them, through them, and with them.” ~ What Happens When Women Say Yes to God ~ Lysa TerKeurst . . #dailydoseofcason #beextraordinary #lysaterkeurst #momlife #morherhoodinspired #momsofinstagram #motherhoodunplugged #joyfulmamas #thisismotherhood #iammom #christianmoms #mamatribe #momentsinmotherhood #uniteinmotherhood

Linville Caverns was a fun little excursion today! The cavern is 52 degrees, which felt great!! The stream that runs thru it was a chilly 42 degrees! We didn't get to see any trout, apparently an otter had a feast on them 😞. My little guy thought it was the coolest thing to be inside a mountain! #linevillecaverns #northcarolina #hikenc

This. And it’s only day 2! Pressing Pause today was a good one!! The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak! I often find myself too tired, too exhausted, too distracted, too something to sit, be still and pray. Too often I sit with good intentions and the thoughts in my head start bouncing around and I loose track of what I set out to do! Changing the way I start my day, praying that God will help me rein in my wandering thoughts, to focus on him! #momlife #back2school #morherhoodinspired #momsofinstagram #motherhoodunplugged #joyfulmamas #thisismotherhood #iammom #christianmoms #mamatribe #pressingpause #dailydevotions #momlife

❤️Love your spouse challenge❤️ I was nominated, but never participated, mostly bc I don't do all that, and partly bc we don't have 7 pictures of us together 😂.... But I will say when you come home and find treats just because he knows that by the time you get back home your gonna need a pick me up, 👌🏼 that's love!

❤️❤️❤️❤️ He went to camp last week, and came home with tons of questions that we have been working thru over the course of this week. Tonight he came to me and asked me to help him ask Jesus into his heart!! My mommy heart exploded! I said it all along, this IS his summer!! So many big steps and accomplishments for him! My heart is full! #dailydoseofcason . . #my365 #project365 #pixel_kids #momswithcameras #candidchildhood #cameramama #camera_mama #childhoodunplugged #childrenofinstagram #letthekids #lifewithboys #littleandbrave #letthembelittle #documentyourdays #thesincerestoryteller #boyswillbeboys #momtog #thatsMYboy #modernchild #simplychildren #kidsforreal #ourcandidlife #magicofchildhood #momlife #bnw_kids #bnw_faces_ #christianmoms #mothorhoodinspired

Because ice cream..... is hilarious! #dailydoseofcason (at Dillards Farms Inc Ice Cream)

Because summer days are becoming fewer..... #theoneandonlyaveri (at Dillards Farms Inc Ice Cream)

Let's be real... Third grade scares me! Terrifies me! It's like when elementary school 'life' gets real in so many way! Girls are mean mean, and she is so not! Our first @mudlove bracelet came today (and we LOVE it ).... I was going to wait until the first day of school to give it to her but .... obviously that didn't work! We have been talking a lot about character, and how we handle ourselves, so I got Micah 6:8 on it in hopes that even on the hard days she will remember ..... to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly ..... regardless of others! #theoneandonlyaveri #mudlove . . #my365 #project365 #photosinbetween #photographyfun #pixel_kids #momswithcameras #candidchildhood #cameramama #camera_mama #childrenofinstagram #letthekids #littleandbrave #letthembelittle #documentyourdays #momtog #kidsoftheoutdoors #simplychildren #kidsforreal #magicofchildhood #momlife #motherhoodinspired #micah68 #mymudlove

He learned new stuff all week, and all weekend it’s been spewing out of him! He’s 6…. He just explained grace to me, with full understanding. Then added, ‘Mom none of us really deserve grace’ ❤️…. Thanks for the life lesson kid, you always keep it real! 👌🏼 I am so thankful for his experience at camp this week. He learned more than I could imagine. Thankful for college kids that take their summer to hang with kids like him, for the cause of Christ. This was his summer to shine! To do him! This camp was the best experience. Thank you Pine Cove! #dailydoseofcason . . #my365 #project365 #photographyfun #momswithcameras #candidchildhood #cameramama #camera_mama #childhoodunplugged #childrenofinstagram #letthekids #littleandbrave #letthembelittle #documentyourdays #momtog #modernchild #simplychildren #kidsforreal #loveourbigkids #redtricycle #magicofchildhood

Amen! Amen! And Amen! Everybody is not on the same journey you are on, so you just do you!! You can't always please others. #Repost @p31obs with @repostapp ・・・ "The more we fully invite God in, the less we will feel uninvited by others.” ~ @LysaTerKeurst #UninvitedBook . . #motherhoodinspired #momlife #momsofinstagram #journeywithjesus #p31obs

This. This is why I love these devotions! Some days just get you, some are 'ah ha' moments, some will flat out make you ugly cry, then there are days like this! Although each day will impact each mom differently I can assure you you will be blessed!
