learn with us!
We love the simple life — home cooked meals, watching sunsets with a cup of coffee in hand, and learning more about Jesus together.
We hope we can give you a glimpse into the heart of our home — the beautiful, and the sometimes difficult — and it will offer encouragement and support.

Ground Yourself in Scripture
“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
Proverbs 4:20–22
…be inspired daily

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

"Why is God doing this to me? When I am tempted to ask that question, it loses its power when I remember that this Lord, into whose strong hands I long ago committed my life, is engineering a universe of unimaginable proportions and complexity… yet He makes note of the smallest seed and the tiniest sparrow. He is not too busy to keep records of even my falling hair. Yet in our darkness we suppose that He has overlooked us. He hasn’t.” 💗💗

“Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the Words of my mouth…That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments.”
Psalm 78:1,6-7

Last month I spent some time with my grandparents in South Carolina! ❤️ I am so blessed to have them in my life. They are honestly some of my best friends! I can`t wait to go back, but for now, face time will have to do!
It was a special treat to spend time with my sister @bobby_torilayne_smith as well! ☺️😍

We had the sweetest visit with Nana Paine! ❤️ A week flew by way too fast, and I only wish I could’ve taken a picture of all the memories we got to make together! I am so grateful for the wonderful time we had… Now it’s time to resume cooking, cleaning, and laundry (whew…I’m gonna miss my fairy! 🤪) I’m convinced I have the greatest Mother-‘n-law in the world! ❤️

Daddy Date Days ❤️ For The last two months, we have been intentional about spending one-on-one time with each child. We spend a lot of time as a family, but when you have alone time with your child, centered around an activity, it is incredible how their hearts naturally tend to open up, and you get a glimpse of what’s inside! Being a parent is a gift and privilege, and seeing their excitement and anticipation each week has been so fulfilling! You can follow along in our latest YOUTUBE!
