Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva

July 31, 2009March 26, 2016 stefanieboyce

July 25 we spent Jayden’s 3rd birthday in Lake Geneva with Ama, Bubba, and Nana, Papa! We has a great time swimming at the cove, lunch at Houlahans, and walking around downtown. It was also Brooklyn’s first time “swimming”!

Don't run. When everything tells you to hide. To pull away. To protect. Don't do it. Enter in. Draw close to your people. Draw close to God. You were designed for intimacy. Open yourself up. I know it's scary but it's the only way to love. A few days ago, Ellie had the opportunity to invite the men in her life to donuts and coffee at her school. Let's just say with these four around, she'll be hard-pressed to get a date anytime soon! "If only I had..." "I will tomorrow." "That just seems so....small." I don't know about you, but I am a thinker, a dreamer, and a fixer. Much of my day is spent in my head thinking of ways to make things better. I dream about doing projects and work that impacts the world. I want to do things that give life meaning. And for the longest time, those things looked big. For me, they were writing a book, speaking to bigger audiences, working a job that made a difference. Hosting conferences for mothers to connect and traveling the world helping people. Big dreams aren't bad dreams. But I kept feeling stuck in the small stuff. Defeated by routine. Bored with the little things. Frustrated by the work it takes to get to those things. Planting, but not a lot of harvesting. Here's what I am learning. Small things ARE big things, especially when it comes to the time you invest in people. And people? People are never SMALL things. Small things are necessary things. They shape us. They prepare us. They inform us. They refine us. Small things ARE big things. So don't wait to get started with what's right in front of you, now. I'm gonna keep dreaming big dreams. You should, too. But the richest secret, the most important work we will do, will be the very, very small things no one will ever see. "Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won't be faithful in large ones. If you cheat even a little, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities." -Jesus School uniforms give kids a sense of belonging. They even the playing field. And in Haiti, they are a really big deal. That’s why when I found out the students at the Miriam Center, a special needs orphanage in Northwest Haiti, didn’t have even one uniform, I knew we could change that. $20 will buy a student a uniform, which includes one polo shirt, and one pair of shorts/skirt. Let’s give these students the dignity and pride that school uniforms bring! Link in bio.

Check her and her story out-such a great one to follow on Instagram! @hopeheals . Who are you following on Instagram that's inspiring you? Looking for more good stuff in the news feed! I just woke up, laid out clothes, made the hubby breakfast, drank apple cider vinegar lemon tea with local raw honey and organic cinnamon that I made from scratch. Then, I packed lunches and made homemade foaming essential oils soap with vitamin e in it, which I happened to have in my cabinet. I'm about to make my breakfast after I walk Ellie to the bus stop from these organic ingredients. WHO AM I?! Now to be clear, I ate McDonalds for breakfast, Beef-A-Roo for lunch, and Culver's for dinner yesterday...just so I don't give you the wrong impression. #CantWinThemAll
