Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’re here!

A Friend’s Design Blog and How She Met Martha (THE Martha)

It’s been quiet over here throughout the past week and a half, so please forgive my absence! In addition to the general chaos that naturally occurs as part of life with three kids aged five and under, we’ve also had swimming lessons, VBS and the hubby out of town (he’s home now, yay!), so things have been busy. I’m in the process of trying to flesh out a regular posting schedule for my space here, but I wanted to pop in today and share some fun news from another blog.A Storied Style
My friend, Grace Mitchell, writes over at A Storied Style. She has a fantastic site full of intriguing, beautifully curated home designs, and she creates some truly inspiring home-decor tutorials. She’s also a partner at Gypsy Soul Interiors, a vintage furniture resale business. I purchased six vintage faux bois cane-back chairs from Gypsy Soul a while back, and I love them! If you’re in the DFW area, be sure to check them out.

Recently Grace traveled to the Altitude Design Summit in NYC, and while there she got the chance to meet Martha … yes, THAT Martha. She wrote a review of her experience here. So if you’re looking for a little design inspiration or a fun diversion for your Wednesday, hop over to A Storied Style. You’re likely to get immersed in her pages, so take a look, and tell her I said hello! In the meantime, I’ll be working on some original content to be posted here in a few days, so check back soon.

Until then … Have a blessed Wednesday!

Three years ago, my brothers and I with our famili Three years ago, my brothers and I with our families met at a vacation home to surprise our parents for their 70th birthdays. It’s still one of my favorite memories, and the older I get, the more I realize what a true gift it is to simply have everyone beneath one roof.

Don’t looks away. Don’t silence the headlines. Don Don’t looks away. Don’t silence the headlines. Don’t close your ears to the anguished cries of people created in the image of God.

Now more than ever, bring these people before the throne of God. Get on your knees and pray with fervor for the people of the Middle East. For their protections. For their freedoms. For their wholeness. For their salvation and their sanctification. 

Pray that the darkness would be banished and the light would dawn. Pray that the Gospel of Jesus Christ would go forth. That it would take root in hearts across the region and bear fruit. Pray that chains would drop, that slaves would be set free, that captives would be liberated. Pray that the goodness and the grace of Christ would saturate the hearts of people who are living in darkness. 

And do not tell me that prayers don’t work. Because ultimately the struggle in the Middle East is not against flesh and blood. It’s against “the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”. (Ephesians 6:12) And the only way to fight a battle against the spiritual forces of evil is to get on our knees and fight it with the tools of spiritual warfare. 

(This isn’t a political post, and comments that seek to incite political hate one way or another will be deleted.)

For the one who feels like you don’t measure up … For the one who feels like you don’t measure up … at home, at school, at life, at work. Consider these three things, then set your mind on Christ.

1️⃣ Where am I finding my worth?

It’s easy to define our worth by the world’s standards … success, wealth, influence, intelligence. But these standards will always leave us empty because they rely on WHAT we are, not WHO we are. When we allow our worth to be defined by who we are as a child of God and a daughter of the king, it radically changes our understanding of our value.

2️⃣ What voices am I allowing to speak into my life? 

Are we constantly listening to voices of the world? Or are we seeking the truths of scripture and the life-giving affirmations of other believers?

3️⃣ Am I cultivating a heart of gratitude? 

It’s tempting to feel like we don’t measure up when we fail to cultivate gratitude for what we do have and for the intricate ways God has gifted us. When you start to feel the threat of comparison or inadequacies seeping in, combat it by thanking God for all he has so graciously gifted you!
