This past summer, as we road tripped back across the country this article started taking shape in my mind. Now here it is formed and published on 1517.

An article I wrote over @1517!

"We do not enter into our God-given vocations by our own strength. Instead, we rest in the work of Christ both on our behalf and for those he places around us, both who we serve and who serve us." - Karen Stenberg

@garonnevik This is unreal, so sorry. Praying for your brother!

I had the privilege of writing this for Mockingbird.

“Instead of throwing me scraps from the table, Jesus was and is more like the friend knowing I’m in the side room caring for my child, making up a large plate to bringing it in and serve me.” @kstenberg01

The Christmas struggle is real. #christmas #struggle #giftgiven

“I didn’t see Christmas as a gift given to me to enjoy, I saw Christmas as a long list of expectations I needed to hold up to love those around me.” - Karen Stenberg

“Take a nap or drink more coffee?” Is the Sunday afternoon question… More coffee it is! Pumpkin latte with caramel drizzle for me and white chocolate mocha for Daniel. Nice to have a warm drink on this rainy afternoon. #espresso #sunday #cozyafternoon

Apparently my boys are trying real hard to prank me in the middle of the night! 🤣 Good thing I checked the bathroom before heading to bed! #boys #pranks #maybeitstoddlermischief

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

I made it not 3 steps down the stairs after putting my boys to bed when I hear.

“Wanna play boss fight!?”

😩 literally just tucked you into bed and kissed you goodnight…

“No! No!! You will not be playing “boss fight!!”

@garonnevik Found this news out this morning. I’m crying as I read your post. He baptized one of mine in Fergus and I remember him walking around with my baby as well, praising God. My heart hurts for your church and especially his family as they grieve. 💔

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

My kindergartener “Mom your book mark fell out…”
Then looks at me eye.
“I guess, your going to have to start over.”

Haha! I’m happy it doesn’t work like that! #happyreading #thesekids

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

Word Parade at school today. I do a lot of reading. But he got me. I had to google his word. 🧐

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

To “The Best Mom’s in All the Land!” Happy Sunday!

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

For those who are wondering. Yes, they were so good, and yes, they held up to hold all the burrito fillings! So nice when new recipes actually work out!

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

I’ve avoided TicTok for a long time. I succumbed… I am now trying my hand at homemade TicTok tortilla’s. 🤣 I’ll tell if you if it was worth it after eating burritos tonight! They do taste delicious on their own. We’ll see if their strength holds up for wraps! #thingsspiralled

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

Earlier, I was feeling overwhelmed with multiple things on my plate and decisions that need to be made. After laying it all out to the Lord in prayer, this card from a friend popped up. God knows about our struggles and what we need to hear. Leaving the reminder on my mirror.

Reached the stage where I could vacuum twice a day and he would still find trash to eat… #babys

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

@maiden_becky Apparently Asher was the one who stuck Elijah’s toothbrush to the wall. Elijah was not impressed. 😂 #brothers

[Karen Stenberg @kstenberg01]

Found my kids toothbrush in a precarious position… will it be the toilet or the garbage?
