Yay for spring! I mean, fiiiiiiiinally. :) Now that Kingston is staying in the same size clothes for longer than 2 minutes I like to buy a few new pieces for him each season and try to find ones that mix and match well. These are just a few that I’m loving for spring/summer. So……
It’s time for our monthly blog circle, and I started to just share some fun pictures of us at the beach and keep things really light like I normally do. But it just didn’t feel right to say “Oh hey! This is what our March looks like!” when it’s not a true representation of our…

You are amazing! I admire your lovely faith and trust in God. I am so sorry to hear all that you are going through, but I know that what you say is true, about putting it all in God’s hands and trusting what He has in store for us. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words, it helps to remind us all that life is not always gonna be peachy and when it does get rough who will we turn to and what will our attitudes towards it tell us? I was so happy to hear the little miracles behind you paying your tithe, that is truly amazing and God sent :) Blessings to you and your lovely family!

[...] to know how much your prayers, love, and support have meant to me and mine this week. Last week in this post I mentioned, very briefly, that I’ve been dealing with some health issues and wanted to fill [...]
Love you my sweet!!! You’re in our hearts, minds and prayers. XOXO!
hi, i just found your blog through cass miller’s and love it. i absolutely love this post on God’s faithfulness. such an amazing testimony of when we obey. may God bless your family in full!
btw – i love this project of what your month looks like. such a great way to document the days of each month with your family!
I love you Pop. Yep, God is ____________!!!
I’m 58 and Mom’s however old she wants to be.;) We’ve been believers for many years. We’ve been married 34 years. We have been blessed beyond measure but frankly, there have been times we’ve walked through hell and back. But, God has been ____________________________. Fill in the blanks with any positive descriptive terms or phrases. He’s all that and so much more. I don’t pretend to understand it all. Sometimes nothing seems to make sense but God _________________________.
Remember what we’ve always taught y’all – God is faithful and He blesses faithfulness. It’s OK to yell, cry, and scream. He’s big enough to handle it. If He wasn’t, I’d be a pile of ashes by now. I love you.
Thanks Mrs. Carol! I smiled when I read what you wrote, because “Trust and Obey” is one of Kingston’s favorite songs. :)
I know God is using you, Anderson and your precious son thru this journey of life. I can tell you that Lori & Kendell & their girls went thru this life journey once and it drew them closer together and stronger in the Lord. Family & friends provided for them too. God always knows what we need and when times of trouble come He is always there. Just Trust and Obey for there is no other way!
Thank you for praying. That means a lot, because I know you will!!
Lyndsay,
Thank you so much for your candid honesty and for sharing your journey. And you are so very right.. the process does suck at times :0)! But what an awesome God we have who is there with us throughout the whole process and so very faithful to us. And so are so many others who love you both. I pray strength for you and Anderson for the journey and a renewed passion for Christ and all He has for you. I pray for Anderson’s job and your health.. that God is truly glorified in all. Thank you for letting us see Jesus in you honey.
Ginger, That’s so sweet! Anderson took most of these pics, so I’ll tell him you said that!!!
Thank you for your honest testimonial, Lyndsay. This is, without a doubt, one of your best blog entries. The pictures are superb, as usual, too.
Thanks Cass! I feel the love. :)))
Such an amazing and inspiring woman you are, Lyndsay. I’m so glad that your faith is being strengthened through this trying time. I pray your transition will be an easy one. Much love coming to you from Utah! xoxo
Jennifer, Life is hard! Why didn’t anyone tell me that? :) Thanks for sharing the truth. Joy and Peace!
Well said, Girl! Believing and stumbling and crying buckets along with you. The reasons are different, but pain abounds. And our Comforter abounds greater still! What a gift to know that He sifts and searches out our paths. Loving and praying for you guys! And holding onto this:
**May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.(Rom 15:13**
Andrea, You’re so sweet. Always! It’s always encouraging to hear from someone who has been there. Thank you!!
Oh my heart aches and breaks for you only because I have been in your same shoes. It’s so hard, tough, lots of tears and you’re normal to feel everything you are feeling. My heart rejoices for you for what God is going to do in your life, and in your family through this. Everything can be redeemed when you lay it before the Lord. I have seen that to be true. Prayers for you my friend, you’re brave to share your story this is just another thing to give glory to God.
Thanks so much Jen!!!
Wow what a testimony to God’s providance! I’m sorry you are going through such a rough time but how great that you can see God’s love through all of this! Thanks for being bold and sharing your story. I’ll be praying for you and your fam!
Ashley, I so appreciate the prayers! And how true about the beach. I hadn’t even thought about it like that!!
So awesome to see God’s provisions in action. I’m so sorry that you are going through this struggle. It’s so encouraging to see you still tithing. How, so many people even in good times feel they don’t have the means to tithe and you guys are living proof of God’s faithfulness. I understand the crying.
We will be praying for you guys, and the upcoming months for some answers financially, job-wise, and for your health.
-Ashley
P.S. So great that your month pictures are at one of God’s greatest gifts, especially those struggling financially. I love that we can experience one of God’s most beautiful creations, the beach, for free!
Thank you so much Michelle. That means a lot right now!
I am so proud of you Lyndsay! What an encouragement to others. I am praying for you guys and just continue to be faithful and know that God is your source for everything.
Hey Valerie! Thank you. So glad you’re doing the blog circle… and that your blog has an English translation. I’m a little slow over here! :)
Beautiful images! I wish we could have this weather all year long!!! :)
Lyndsay –
A lot of times people are too afraid to share the hard times in their life and choose to put on a façade for everyone. So, it is always so refreshing to read your blog and the honesty you share. Your faith and honesty inspires other – sometimes without you even knowing. Thank you for being you!
We will keep you and your family in our thoughts!!!
Whitney
Whitney, You are always so encouraging and I appreciate your honesty too! Sometimes it’s easier for me to put on a fake smile, but no one benefits from that. Not even me!
GIRL! FIRST! The tithing- and the gifts. Amazing! I was in tears over here! That is awesome! He is so faithful and will always provide! I’m glad He decided to have those people bless you guys like that! That is awesome!
SECOND- I am in prayer over this for y’all. I know a spouse losing a job is scary! We’ve done it before too. But like you said, GOD is in control…always is, even when we feel like WE are sailing the ship, HE IS. Thankfully.
THIRD- these pictures are fabulous! As always. Y’all are just the most beautiful family! Inside & out! I can see the light and love shine throughout each one of you! That picture of Anderson reaching through to Kingston- I LOVE IT! And I can feel the strenth of your marriage through your writing! It’s an inspiration girl.
HOLD TIGHT! You’ve got LOTS OF GOOD going on right now, even though there’s that one big bad spot, there’s tons of good. LOVE YOU GIRL!!!!!!
Annie, You are SO right. Thank you for praying and for the pep talk. :) I’m so thankful for you!
We celebrated 5 years of wedded bliss over the weekend. It’s okay. I’m rolling my eyes at that sentence too. :) But seriously, we had the best time relaxing at my favorite spa. It’s on the beach in Ponte Vedra and pretty much feels like paradise. It was Anderson’s first time there, and now he…
Happy wonderful 5 years!! That is so exciting!! I love how the 2 is crossed out in 25, lol! That sounds like an amazing time of relaxation & love! That weather looks amazing!
xoxo,
Shio
Thank you!
Hi Lyndsey, Happy Anniverary!! Sorry I am late.
Michelle, I’ve never stayed there, but I sure do love that spa!!
I love the PV club! My husband and I spent our wedding night there and to this day its the best hotel we’ve been in :) My mom lives in Ponte Vedra and were visiting her this summer, can’t wait! :) Michelle, Happy Anniversary!
Thanks Jen! You definitely should do that with the picture. I love sentimental decorations!!
Happy Anniversary!! Sounds like the most perfect day. I never commented on your entryway post but I have my grandma’s high school graduation photo that I am dying to blow up and do something cool with it. I need to own a home (or be allowed to paint in a rental) so I can do fun things like polka dot walls! Love it!
Thanks Andrea!
happy anniversary!
Thank you Cass! Back atcha. :)
Happy Anniversary, you two! Glad you had a great day!
Winter has finally made it to Florida. So for the last few weeks it’s been a little cold. Too cold to play outside. But staying in the house all day with a two-year-old is no fun. No fun at all! So we’re always looking for somewhere to go. Anderson likes taking Kingston to Barnes &…
He agrees Papa!
That’s my boy!!!! Silly people – books are for girls. Let’s play!!!
So long, February! Not even taking a second glance at you. But I am thankful for these happy moments!
Sure! I’ll look when I’m there again… in the next day or so. I’m ALWAYS there!
Would you seriously do that?? My sister and I have looked at all the Targets around us and it’s nowhere to be found.
Jen, It’s on clearance now! Maybe your store sold out? Want me to send you one? :)
I’m still obsessed with that scarf – and my Target doens’t have them. Sigh. I’m with ya on being super happy that February is over. What a terrible month (or maybe just a terrible end of the month but it makes the whole month feel terrible)! Here’s to a fabulous March (and my Target getting that scarf!!)!! Have a lovely weekend.
Jennifer, No way! We just try to have fun doing our regular boring stuff!
Thanks for sharing these shots — your life seems a lot more entertaining than mine! :)
SB, That look happens a lot. Always makes us laugh!
i LOVE the one where he’s holding a blanket and appears to be just GLARING at the world!
Jennifer, Thanks for your sweet note the other day. I meant so much! You are such a great example for me. :)
Your sweet moments amidst the crap storm have made me smile today. And reminded me that Jesus never fails. (yes, i am stalking your blog)
