When your friends write a book and surprise you with an early release copy of it that arrives on your birthday… you gotta grab a cuppa coffee and a comfy place and dive in!⁣
⁣
Patrick and Ruth Schwenk share their personal story of how God has met them in the middle of their storms of miscarriages, cancer, feeling disoriented and disillusioned, and in times of loss and suffering... and gave them strength to overcome their fears and an even deepened hope in Him.⁣
⁣
This is such a great read and reminder that whatever life storm you are going through, your storm doesn’t have to sink you!⁣
⁣
@patrickwschwenk and @ruthschwenk , thank you for sharing your journey with the world and spreading hope!⁣

All three of my boys are on their remote learning calls with their classmates and teacher while I am doing a charcoal mask! ⁣

I am honestly praying that they don’t need any online assistance at this moment! 😂 But I am loving every minute of my ME TIME!⁣

Mom anger is now a big emphasis on my blog, so we were trying to do a photo shoot with angry faces. ⁣
⁣
Somehow there were more smiles and giggles and goofiness than mad faces.

Before getting angry, ask yourself...
⁣
- Is this worth it? ⁣

- Is it worth stripping someone of their happiness? ⁣

- Is it worth it to sacrifice my own happiness?⁣
⁣
The answer every time is NO!⁣
⁣
Choose happiness. Choose kindness. Choose love.
