Hi! Thanks for stopping by! If I could sit for an hour or two and have coffee with you, these words written down here are much of what I would say. Mostly you would hear me say, "Me too. You are not crazy and you are definitely not the only one." It is my hope that these frail and honest words of mine wrap around your soul like a big ole' comfy blanket, and that you leave this space feeling a little more hope and encouragement.. and just a little less alone.

Jesus + puppies = free therapy.

“The beauty and uniqueness of God is how He turns our challenges into calling and pain into passion. We understand the hurts and needs of others in a unique way as God gives us new eyes of compassion. The transfer effect is beautiful and powerful. It is the joy of pain-to-purpose #calling.” “I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born” Isaiah 66:9 NCV - @calledcreatives

It’s the day after Valentines Day y’all. (Thank God because I’m just not a huge fan of the day) Loving well the next 364 days of the year is where the real gold is found. Some people enjoy making a big deal out of Valentine’s Day. Chocolates, fancy dinner dates, cheesy phrases, big teddy bears… But for me, going really big on Valentine’s Day is like remembering Jesus only on Christmas and Easter. I like to be romanced every day with little things that remind me that my husband still loves me on the bad days when life doesn’t look so pretty and is willing to pursue me daily in the same way Christ pursues us. The other 364 days of the calendar (besides V-Day) have a whole lot more to do with keeping our marriage vibrant. All the ordinary days surrounding Valentine’s Day are the real proof of love and are a reminder that love filled, vibrant marriages are possible when they are built on a foundation of active faith, not just once a year flowers and chocolates. Let’s lavish some love today...and the next and the next! Beautiful relationships are built on the ordinary days when life doesn’t feel fancy.

It’s our tradition to do a family💘day dinner.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. You have been that @anthonyrowell ♥️ My forever love.

My amazing friend (who I didn’t even know could draw) took my basic idea and sketched out a rough draft of my forearm tattoo to take to a tattoo artist to have professionally sketched up and I love it so much. 😍 I’m taking ideas for additions/revisions so feel free to add in your two cents! 😂
