|| Friday Magnify || . “Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.” Psalm 34:3 . Sometimes I get to the end of a week and think, what just happened? Was I even present?! . This was one where I couldn't keep anything straight. Like posting this in the evening instead of the usual morning format -- I totally forgot! . Even though I don't have a specific story or situation to share today, I can still magnify the Lord. He is good, and I'm thankful for the reminder of that fact! How have you seen Him this week, friend? I'd love to hear! . - Amy . (Also thankful for clean, cute, colorful mini kitchen tools that double as my boys' new favorite toy. They're just so aesthetically pleasing. 😄)
“You can give without loving. But you cannot love without giving.” || Mother Teresa || . As parents, we give and give and give of ourselves day after day.

“It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates.” - Amy Carmichael . I never thought I would be a wife and mom of two by age 24. . Five short years ago I envisioned myself overseas, serving full time on the mission field. While the Lord has taken me down a different path in this current season, I know that He placed that desire for missions deep in my core. . With that knowledge, I can wait in peace with my whole focus on this current season, loving my husband and raising my little ones and trusting that He will fulfill the deep desires of my heart in His perfect time. . What desires has the Lord placed deep within you? Are you in a season of trusting and waiting? If you want some prayer and a listening ear, send a message anytime! We're here for you, mama. . ~ Natalya
|| Friday Magnify || . “Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.” Psalm 34:3 . pa•tience 1. the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. . This week I'm thankful for patience. Patience for myself as I miss the mark all too often, and patience for my kids as they learn and grow. How we need this fruit of the Spirit as moms of little ones! Praise the Lord for giving all that we need, when we humble ourselves and ask. . - Natalya

"Last week I found myself knee deep in a toddler meltdown, which seems to be a common occurrence these days. I was flustered because it was happening in public, sweating because I was chasing my 2.5 year old around with a baby in my arms, and anxious because of what the other moms could possibly be thinking about me and my wild kids. Half way through this mom-and-kid playgroup I was ready to run for the hills...." . Have you read the rest of this article yet? It sure resonated with us, hope it strikes a chord with you too! .
