Through the love of Christ there is no they, there is only we.

Stop trying to make your own definition of who your "neighbor" is. Love all. Love every dang human being you encounter. For each of them carries the Imago Dei, the image of God.

There is no exception to that.

Yesterday was sweet Ollie's last day of preschool 3.

This sweetie won over everyone he met with his kind heart and helpful personality.

Next year he starts school 5 days a week and he is so excited! But for now it's time to make some summer memori… https://t.co/MMGRvBfmdp

✨11 weeks✨

Right now it's less of a bump and more of a "looks like you ate too many burritos" belly.

This pregnancy has been different than the other two. Not better, not worse, just different.

And I cherish when Ollie asks if blueberry needs a sn… https://t.co/vV64Eigwz4

Today we Put on Purple for World Lupus Day 💜

This is what Lupus looks like.
This is what disability looks like.

And this is what true, unrelenting love looks like.

REMINDER!
TOMORROW!

WEDNESDAY, MAY 10TH is Put On Purple Day!

I would love it if you wore something purple that day in honor of those who fight these daily battles. It can be a shirt, dress, pants (?) Or something as small as a necklace, earrings, a t… https://t.co/u6jw4yAq8I

New favorite place to be 📽️

We installed a projector screen on our deck and hooked up some Mario Kart to end our date night.
It was all kinds of wonderful. 💛 https://t.co/GTwxG2UJYA

May is Lupus Awareness Month!

For those of you who don't know my full story, I have been battling chronic pain since I was 15 and finally received my Lupus diagnosis back in 2013 when my symptoms progressed.

It's been a long, difficult, sometimes beaut… https://t.co/8RMiTyWnWH

Silas and I took our first bike ride of the season 🚲

It was perfectly warm, filled with sunshine, and the perfect distraction to the endless morning sickness 😬 https://t.co/NLwvpm1lSk

Three years ago today, my life was forever changed. Three years ago, today I was hospitalized as I was days into losing control of my body and mind to sepsis.

The term "medical trauma" is scoffed at by many. It comes across as dramatic and counterintuit… https://t.co/dcDbkKRqL4

A chronically-ill dream date.

So thankful for my endless understanding of a husband. I couldn't imagine a better human to have as my other half.

I'd choose you to "just do laundry and taxes with" in any universe. https://t.co/Z83GxgHdeB

Today is Rare Disease Day.

And I, a visually healthy 31 year old, have been in this fight since I was 15.

My current diagnoses are a combination of Systemic Lupus, fibromyalgia, and arthritis which has caused degeneration in my spine.

I am thankful fo… https://t.co/g690HYenpR

Today is 13 years with this dude.

Todd has loved several different versions of me throughout the years, as we have both grown and changed, from teenagers to 30-somethings. Yet the one thing in this life that remains forever constant is his love.

Small business motherhood.

Graphic designing and trying to prep for a craft show on Saturday while snuggling a child who is vomiting every 10 minutes.

And just like that, he turns 3.

I can't tell if these past three years have felt like the longest or the shortest of my life. It's like he's been here forever but I also feel like I was holding him as a newborn just yesterday.

Silas.
