Sometimes it’s hard to own that the reason for the mess in your life is...you.

When the Bible says, “you reap what you sow” and yet we are shocked and offended by the brokenness of sin (ours and others’) in our lives, it’s another example of looking at ourselves in a mirror, then walking away and forgetting who we are.

Tonight, Megan asked my sister’s boyfriend if he was autistic or had dementia before he clarified that he is dyslexic.

The teens created a “high jump” experience in the front yard tonight and challenged me and Millie to try it out. Four attempts, no broken bones - I’m going to call it a success.

@Curstinleanne @MillieBratcher She won’t forget. She’ll be ready to drop the truth bombs whenever you’re ready.

Made eggplant Parmesan for dinner. Nephew: and where do we put the meat?
Me: there is none.
Nephew: 😯😦😮😲

Megan to me: You have a powerful walk...like an emperor.

That’s one of the best compliments I’ve ever gotten.

Working on my new CASA case and reminded - I’m never ready to enter another person’s brokenness. But I am not alone. There is One beside me who carries burdens and promises to stand up for the vulnerable.

Exercise is spiritual. Today’s combat training was just what I needed to clear my head and focus in on what matters.

The BIG IDEA from Sunday's message: "To count it all joy, we remember God's character, His lavish provision, and what He is accomplishing in us; we do not let flawed human judgment or flawed human emotions derail our faith." Watch the whole message here: https://t.co/v69iuyD31X

After spending half the day with my nephews on Saturday, Millie and I sent them to my parents for some fun. When we arrived several hours later, my 3 yr old nephew ran up to me and asked, “Did you miss me when I wasn’t at your house?”

There is just nothing to prepare you for bath time chats with your small nephews.

I just joined my 3:00 Zoom and one student announced, “She’s here.” 🤪
And another student is mid-bass concert.

[Amara Bratcher @MaurieBratcher]

I have Zoomed twice weekly with my students for almost two months. It is crazy. It is loud. And the majority of them don’t miss a single one.
