Wife of college sweetheart Todd, mom, Grandma Kit @nytimes bestselling author @zondervan @bethany_house_nonfiction @lifewaywomen @Proverbs31ministries
On this day, during our senior year of college, my On this day, during our senior year of college, my boyfriend dropped to one knee and presented me with a heart-shaped diamond ring, saying he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. What a ride it has been. (The first picture was taken 10 minutes before he popped the question.) I fell in love with him as a teenager. Today we are grandparents. We’ve experienced both good and bad times. But what has impacted me the most has been the horrible times. The sting of grief I’ve felt in the past five years as we lost eleven family members between the two of us. My three awful pregnancies where my hyperemesis landed me in the hospital and flat on my back for months. The fallout of dealing with childhood trauma, and my intense fear of Todd leaving me, like a half dozen women important to me experienced, beginning with my mom. Through it all, he’s been a rock. When I was constantly sick when pregnant, he’d tell me I’d never looked more beautiful. He held me at each of my parents’ graves when I fell apart. He’s been patient as I’ve been in counseling, at times fighting anxiety and depression and he’s held me when I’ve had panic attacks. And no matter how fearful I get that I will be left for someone else, he’s stayed faithful, reassuring me, despite my irrational thinking. Happy engagement anniversary, Todd. You have shown me God’s unconditional love in so many ways. I can’t imagine life with anyone but you.🩵
Hands-down this is my most requested fall recipe. Hands-down this is my most requested fall recipe. I have probably made hundreds of pans of this over the last two decades. My family loved it. So did all of my children's friends. Delicious one served with vanilla bean ice cream. You can find the recipe by clicking on the link in my profile.
Let’s say it again for the people in the back: Y Let’s say it again for the people in the back: Your husband is not your savior.

Don’t let the fear of others disapproving of you Don’t let the fear of others disapproving of your choices keep you from following what God is asking you to do. Read his word. Seek his presence. Determine what he is calling you to do and then do it. You don’t need that person’s permission to do God’s will.
Don't let anger fester in your heart. Don't allow Don't let anger fester in your heart. Don't allow a root of bitterness to grow. No matter the situation you are facing, stop overthinking, or plotting your next move. Turn your heart toward God. Let him handle it, so you don't have to.
In every season, there is a God who is not worried In every season, there is a God who is not worried. Trust him. He will carry you.
Where are my fellow people pleasers at? Can you re Where are my fellow people pleasers at? Can you relate? I know everything in you wants to make them happy and do what you can to alleviate their displeasure, but that is not your role. Stop making their feelings your responsibility.
Welcome to the month of falling leaves, crisp air, Welcome to the month of falling leaves, crisp air, roaring bonfires, maple-walnut lattes, and a God who never changes.
God's word will never fade. God's word will never fade.
