Here I am at the well again.⁣
⁣
I didn’t think I’d be here so soon, because I know better.⁣
⁣
Jesus, you’ve told me over and over that this doesn’t work.. this won’t last.⁣
⁣
But here I am, so thirsty, and still filling up my jar with the water I know won’t satisfy me.⁣
⁣
I scoop to fill my jar with the fleeting things of this world that my flesh desires.⁣
⁣
Status.⁣
Money.⁣
A fake image.⁣
Striving for perfection.⁣
Sin.⁣
Unhealthy coping behavior.⁣
Changing myself to be liked.⁣
⁣
I scoop these things up because they temporarily relieve the emptiness in my heart.⁣
⁣
You’ve already told me, Jesus.⁣
⁣
You’ve met me at this well many times.⁣
⁣
You’ve explained that this water will always leave me thirsty.⁣
⁣
But here I am again, hoping this time it lasts.⁣
⁣
Yet, even as I scoop and drink, I know you still meet me at the well.⁣
⁣
You sit with your daughter until I’m ready to look you in the eyes and acknowledge what I’m doing.⁣
⁣
You continue to remind me that you are the living water my soul so desperately needs.⁣
⁣
The kind of water that would allow me to never thirst again.⁣
⁣
It’s at the well, at this place that my failures and sin is so evident...⁣
⁣
It’s here that I’m met with a grace and love that doesn’t even make sense.⁣
⁣
You keep reminding me that the answer is you.. and that you actually want to satisfy my soul.⁣
⁣
I know I’m here again, Jesus.⁣
⁣
But you are, too.⁣
⁣
I hate that I keep coming back to the well when I already have the water I need.⁣
⁣
But I’m so thankful you don’t give up on me.⁣
⁣
I will set down my jar once again.⁣
⁣
I will recognize that you are what I need.⁣

Some nights, she’ll ask me to come down to her room to talk. And many times, I don’t want to go. The little kids need to be put to bed, I have laundry to fold, or I simply want to sit on the couch and read my book. But I know. I know that soon, she’ll be texting me from her dorm room, and it won’t be a quick trip down the stairs to sit on her bed next to her. I know I won’t always be the one who gets to hear the details of her day. I know things are changing. And because I know, I go. 😭⁣

It’s crazy that 5 years ago I tried to cover up

It’s crazy that 5 years ago I tried to cover up at the beach. That I wore a swimsuit that covered most of my body, and would never post a picture of me in a bathing suit on social media.⁣
⁣
It’s crazy that I was so thin ad still found ways to criticize myself and this amazing body that held 3 kids.⁣
⁣
I have been in a swimsuit 90% of the time on this trip and the freedom that comes with loving yourself more than falling into the criticism trap is so freeing.⁣
⁣
You don’t need a diet. You don’t need to be a size 0. You don’t need to obsess over serving sizes and the food you eat constantly.⁣
⁣
You have so many beautiful features! Those curves are to die for! You’re beautiful inside and out and you deserve to live your best life this summer! Walk around in your swimsuit all day.⁣
⁣
Being a size zero doesn’t make you worthy. You already are exactly how you are!⁣

I heard him.⁣ ⁣ I looked to my left and he cau

I heard him.⁣
⁣
I looked to my left and he caught my eye with his loud voice and fidgety hands.⁣
⁣
He was mid to late twenties with a stalky build and buzzed cut hair.⁣
⁣
I was standing in lane four with my cart full of groceries and he was in lane one.⁣
⁣
He was upset because lane one wasn’t open and he seemed confused as to why.⁣
⁣
The gentleman that was with him, I’m guessing his father, explained that one was not available but that he could go in a lane that had a cashier.⁣
⁣
The two of them walked over and stood behind me in line.⁣
⁣
I turned around to wave and say hello.⁣
⁣
I could quickly see that he was still upset as he was pacing back and forth making repetitive sounds and hand gestures.⁣
⁣
He reminded me a lot of my son.⁣
⁣
His body movements, loud noises and the way he wondered off away from his caregiver.⁣
⁣
He gave me a glimpse into what our future may look like when our son is that age.⁣
⁣
I smiled at the men and asked if they’d like to go ahead of me in line.⁣
⁣
They looked at each other and at first, the father kindly declined.⁣
⁣
But after offering a second time, they gratefully accepted.⁣
⁣
He seemed happy when he stepped in line in front of me and I was glad to see it relieved some of the stress from waiting.⁣
⁣
I noticed other patrons in the store staring and pointing, but I hope my friendly connection is what they remember.⁣
⁣
I hope they remember a woman who treated them with respect and wanted to help when a young man was having a hard time.⁣
⁣
I hope they remember the mom who made him feel accepted and not judged.⁣
⁣
The mom who treated him with kindness.⁣
⁣
Because that’s what she would want others to do for her son.⁣
⁣
To be compassionate and kind.⁣
⁣
Today.⁣
⁣
Tomorrow.⁣
⁣
And always.⁣
