Building something...
God put this calling on my heart to help and serve.
He put this calling on my heart several months ago, it's about time I start listening. π€πΌπ€
This fantastic memory popped up today π
Hard to believe it has been 16 years since @repswithronna_ said yes!
Grateful for all the blessings over the past 19 years together.
Grateful God brought us together so many years ago.
Looking forward to many more years and memories!
Consistency is key.
We are called to care for the temple we've been blessed with.

Creators!
It's time to start planning out the latter half of 2026! So if you've got a novel or comic coming soon, you need a fairly priced and exceptional editor to bring your story up to par. That's what I'm here for. Reserve your spot ASAP.
Cheers.

YOU ARE SIMPLY A SUM OF YOUR CHOICES!
Make some good ones today & LET'S WIN!!!
I had to make a very big decision yesterday, a melancholy one based on the actions of another. Last night, it tore me up inside. I couldn't sleep, so I prayed.
All I said was "My heart is heavy, and I need you to hold my hand."
Peace washed over me in a way I've never felt before. Almost immediately.
And I got the best six hours of sleep.
Years ago we chose to homeschool our kids.
This choice often gets criticized, especially on social media
"They wont be socialized"
"Parents are qualified to teach"
Typical homeschool day:
- Sleep until 8/830
- Family walk outside
- Kids cook their breakfast (eggs, smoothie, yogurt etc..)
- 30-60mins of free play
- 10:30-12:30 schooling following local curriculum
- Kids make their own lunch
Rest of the day is sports, playing with friends, field trips with other home school kids etc...
Common government school day
- Wake around 7:00am
- Quick (often unhealthy) breakfast
- Rush to school
- Kids put into overcrowded classrooms, lack of outside time, too much screen use in class...
My kids test at the top of their age groups.
They socialize daily with other kids and commonly get complimented on how polite they are.
They spend time outdoor daily.
My kids also learn basic life skills like cooking, laundry, grocery shopping ect.. that arent taught in schools
Homeschool may not be for every family. But slandering it as an inferior experience for kids is an ignorant take.
βEnjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.β by Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Live Righteously.
"Be renewed in the spirit of the mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:23-34

Lifting weights makes your brain look younger.
One year of either heavy- or moderate-intensity strength training reduced older adults' estimated brain age by 1.4-2.3 years on average and enhanced functional connectivity between brain networks.
What I find remarkable is, while the training lasted only one year, the effects on the brain were still noticeable at the two-year follow up.
So many benefits of going to the gym, and not just for your muscles.
Grateful for the blessings He has given me!
Is life always rainbows and butterflies?
Absolutely NOT.
I will keep moving forward though.
God's got us!
Where our focus goes, energy flows.
Where are you focusing?
Is it the light or darkness?
Choose Wisely π€
@caefurd That is certainly true. Awareness is key to ensure we don't. And more important, time and being present with God will safeguard our hearts against false idols!
Social media is a tool the same way your phone is.
You can use your phone to:
β Look at pornography.
β Doom scroll & mindlessly browse.
β Argue with strangers about politics.
Or:
β Read the Bible.
β Create, encourage & inspire.
β Curate a positive feed & level up.
This CHOICE is so much more critical to living a great life than most people care to admit.
Do you realize what a gift it is to have access to all the information we have today regarding wealth, health, relationships, mindset, faith, etc?!
FOCUS is a superpower in 2026.
I grew an Instagram account to 100k followers, made a post about Jesus, and lost 5k followers.
I just grew a different account to 100k (again) and made this video as a celebration.
