What if God is first calling you to focus on planting a seed in relationship with Him, before focusing on the outgrowths of that seed?
♥️
While this principal can apply to anyone in any situation, this is something we discussed in specific relation to Turning 30 as a Single Woman with Alex Clark on the this week.
♥️
She represents so many young single women and men that play the comparison game. While it can feel so tempting to compare yourself to your married friends who are starting to have kids, we challenge you to take that thought captive the next time it comes up. Instead, focus on YOU, and where God is calling you in relationship with Him.
♥️
If this has ever been a struggle for you, we encourage you to listen to this week’s episode. Unlike any of our other podcasts, this episode is actually an on-air counseling session with Alex Clark. Join us through the laughter and the tears!

While we are blown away by this stat, we can’t say we’re completely shocked by this heartbreaking reality.
♥️
Think about it: If you’re going to the grocery store, on a coffee date, or out to eat, you’re going to see several instances of sexual dysfunction - two women holding hands, a man in a dress, trans/gay flags, etc. You go to Target now and there are entire sections of CHILDREN’S books dedicated to celebrating perversion. 😭💔
♥️
The world isn’t staying silent about sexual perversion, so the church shouldn’t stay silent about sexual WHOLENESS!
♥️
That is why we interviewed Pastor Dale Partridge on “Jesus and my Gender.” If you are a parent of small children or teenagers, this episode is a must-listen. Don’t miss it when it airs tomorrow morning at 6am PST!

What type(s) of childhood did you have? Do any of these resonate with you?
♥️
We all have different childhood experiences that shaped us into the person that we are today. These experiences affect not only ourselves but our SPOUSE as well!
♥️
Have you ever wondered WHY your spouse responds to some things so differently than you do? So much of this can be due to the different types of childhood! Even if you had a GOOD, healthy one!

The Bible tells us to TRAIN up a child NOT to TELL or COMMAND up a child.
♥️
Training is so much different than telling or logicing. Training is action oriented. It’s examples. It’s putting ourselves in the situation. It’s being creative with situations.
♥️
We’re currently working on being a little bit more open minded about how we approach these situations with our strong-willed child. We don’t want to approach it from just one direction where it’s US VS HIM, and he’s this defiant child that won’t listen to us, etc.
♥️
We want to look at it as if he’s maybe in need of some more training, connection, experience, or demonstration from us. – A + K

Do you have a young kiddo that knows what they want to wear?! 👕🧦👖
♥️
We do too! 🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️
♥️
Forest, at three years old, knows what he wants to wear. Today, he wanted to wear jeans instead of the khakis that Adam picked out for him. He kept crying and saying, “I want to wear jeans, Daddy. These don’t go with this. They’re not long enough.”
♥️
Instead of saying: “No! We’re wearing khakis.” (which would have been easier and faster) Adam said: “You want to wear jeans, Forest? Go pick out some jeans!”
♥️
When Forest came back, I celebrated him by saying: “Wow, Forest! You really are your own person. You like picking out your clothes, and you know what you want to wear!”
♥️
He was beaming over the fact that he made the choice! – A + K

One way that we celebrate the wins is every night, after we put the kids down, we take the time to recount the day. Even if the day was hard because of things like parenting stuff…
♥️
We say: “WE DID IT! GO US!”
♥️
We routinely celebrate the fact that we got through the day! However, we know that we didn't get through it by ourselves. We also take the time to recognize that God empowered us to get through the day, whether it was good or bad. He is the source! – A + K

When people think about celebrating the “wins” in their marriage, they typically think about the milestone things like: pregnancy, buying a new car, getting a raise, etc. Those are natural things that you’re going to celebrate, but we want to celebrate the day to day stuff too!
♥️
A while back, Karissa said: “I do the bills, and that’s a big load on me. I would really like you to recognize that I do the bills.” I don’t pay attention to details well like Karissa does, so we have allocated that task to her. She’s better at it! In this process of us learning each other’s strengths, she’s taken that on.
♥️
Her paying the bills is a day to day thing that happens every single month, but it’s not something that she necessarily looks forward to. So it’s important for me to recognize the time and energy that she puts into doing the bills and say thank you! This is celebrating a mundane win that does carry an emotional impact! – A + K

This photo was taken as an announcement photo that was subsequently put on 100 Christmas cards, and signed "We Three Kings". Then 2 days after printing the cards (and almost 8 years into our marriage), we found out that our little one didn't have a heartbeat. Words can't describe the devastation that we felt. We were 12 weeks at the time, so we opted for a less invasive route of miscarriage, only to have that go on for another 4 weeks to no avail. Going in for a D&C at 16 weeks came with so much emotional and physical toll, and turning to God and each other for strength is what drew us even closer.
♥️
And then every time the following year that an innocently ignorant person grilled us with, "You've been married for 8 years! When are you going to have babies?!" we turned to each other again and grew together through each tear. While this type of story isn't always followed by a rainbow baby, after a year of fertility medication (which requires patience on the part of both the hormonal wife and the helpless husband), we became pregnant with , and 1.5 years later, . While there was so much joy, there were continued mixed feelings of grief: loss, fear and hesitation to celebrate.
♥️
In light of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we want to encourage the many couples who have experienced any sort of loss related to fertility whether that's a miscarried baby at 5 weeks pregnant, carrying a baby to full-term and having to bury that baby, the loss of a life you thought you would live with babies and coming to the realization that you may never get pregnant, or anything in between. 🙏🏽
