Thank you @raechelmyers + @biblewilliams for throwing a beautiful party and making us feel so loved this Christmas! Grateful to be working with the @shereadstruth team. The night included Family Feud, apple crumble, a snazzy elephant gift exchange, and a hot cocoa bar among other delights. 🎁 🍎 🎄 🍫 ☕️
Take a deep breath. ✨♥️✨ Feels good, right? My pain levels been high lately (back, psoas muscle, ribs), and there are days when I don’t think I can take it anymore. Energy is harder to come by—especially by the end of the day—because it takes so much energy to just regulate pain levels. Your brain is working overtime. I’m always trying to develop lifestyle rhythms that include as little sitting or stress as possible and include lots of movement, the outdoors, therapeutic bodywork, and quality time with people I love. But life isn’t perfect, and there are never enough hours in a day. Sometimes the days hold empty fridges and wasted DMV visits and mechanic appointments and tax return errors and negative energy. These are the things that can set you off—like you’re a phone on 1% that just needs to charge and can’t find an outlet. But then I have to remember that a moment isn’t forever. As soon as a little balance comes back into my life, and I experience productivity AND self-care, social activity AND restorative aloneness, practical high-traffic errands AND long walks in natural beauty... then things become more manageable. I have to remember that Jesus promised abundant life in Him no matter our circumstances. Most days, I don’t get it. But learning the Way of Jesus is a lifelong journey of practice and grace. And I’m just beyond grateful that our little lives are being held together by the Prince of Peace who knows our hearts and stories more intimately than we can imagine. I believe in honoring our pain rather than dismissing it because when we bring our whole selves into the light, there is power and healing. It will not always be this way. But as long as it is, we have a close Friend who never leaves our side. Deep breath. ✨♥️✨
Banjo and I wore ourselves out playing around the house, then enjoyed sharing a [my] meatball dinner. Now we’re watching all the Friends Thanksgiving reruns. A night well spent in my opinion. #mansbestfriend
