The Quarantined Stepfamily
Do not compare your walk in life with the walk of others. Their successes and failures have nothing to do with you. Those things are between them and God. Be concerned only with your OWN heart and motives. Stepmoms, you following me? God sees all. You just focus on you today. ❤️
Patience and Understanding
Lord, establish the work of our hands. May we make good choices in each season.
YOU, yes YOU have been given a spiritual gift! I’ve been told mine is “words of encouragement”. What is your gift? I’d love to know, and I encourage you to step out in faith and use it today! Shine that light into the world!

Punta Cuna seems like a lifetime ago! We were able to do our “Celebrate Dad” trip before the virus shut everything down. Fantastic hospitality, beautiful people, and the prettiest beach I’ve ever seen. #zoetryaguapuntacana #dominicanrepublic #zoetryresorts #bluesky #beachesofinstagram #youremybluesky

I thought I was doing OK. I thought I was checking off the stages of the grieving process with relative success. Then a radiology bill comes in from August. I see my dad‘s name and I run my fingers over it. “Robert Counts”. Suddenly I’m not OK, and the tears won’t stop. I have missed him so much this week. I’ve been able to fill the days with being busy, but sometimes the quiet moments come with the loudest memories. Seeing his name brought up images of frailty and suffering. But for the millionth time in my life, I feel His presence. I feel the Lord pull me in tight and surround me with His supernatural reassurance. I can almost hear Jesus, “Don’t you know? Don’t you know my sweet child that the grave is empty? I need you to trust me.” The sad images will fade in time, and I know sweeter ones will replace them. For now I have FAITH and TRUST that Dad’s having a pretty spectacular time in his renewed body. What joy that must be. ❤️ #missyoudaddy #grief #jesus #heaven #healing

I love this! I stumbled on this quote in my daily devotional. Every decision we make affects our future. Every reaction, every word spoken, every intention builds our character or destroys it. I hope to face each season of life with more growth than the last. Lord, establish the work of my hands! #choices #decisions #forgiveness #growth #opportunity #agingwithgrace #agingwithwisdom

Steve asked me when we were dating, “I have this amazing little boy. He has a huge heart and he’s full of love. He needs us. Can you accept him and love him?” I made a promise to Steve and a promise before the Lord with an intentional “Yes”! Eighteen years later, I think life has shown me over and over that I needed Keegan in my life as much as he needed us. I could fill up your days with endless stories of this young man’s kindness, compassion, and grace. He’s quick to forgive, slow to judgment, loving in word and deed, and humble in spirit. He’s been through a lot. He’s overcome a lot. He’s also about to do A LOT of great things. This is his decade to thrive. We are honored to celebrate year 21 with him today. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 #21stbirthday

A dear friend and I have been really diving into the words “integrity”, “transparency”, and “holiness”. Not a holier-than-thou attitude and not perfection. We’ve been pouring over what it really means to shine the light of Christ when we are tempted instead to get petty or boastful with the world. We’re talking about being so uncomfortably real when we feel tempted instead to hide behind the mask of artificial beauty, temporary earthly success, or titles. We also talked about breaking the stereotypes of generational curses and societal labels. Living in the light exposes us. Living in the light truly sets us free. This freedom is a beautiful and unselfish gesture by a Risen Savior. #livinginthelight #bethelight #transparency #genuine #real #integrity #christ

Steve and I will be in Punta Cana for eight blessed days. We are honoring a wish from my sweet Dad in Heaven. One regret he had was that he didn’t spend enough time with Mom and I making memories. He asked that Steve and I make those memories and have no regrets. So, in honor of him and this season of healing and renewal, we are declaring this “no screen time” as we travel. See ya later, alligator! #makememories #putdownthephone #Godisgood
