Q & A: You Ask & I Answer

Today I am answering a few of your questions that y’all asked on my instagram feed. I hope you, reading, take a second and answer these questions for yourself. It was really fun to think about them and answer. 

I grew up on a 5-acre ranch. I remember that my dad planted around 10 baby pine trees scattered on our land. They were about 2-3 ft tall. I used these trees as hurdles that summer. I made a track course where I’d run and hurdle the trees. I’m pretty sure I made my parents time me over and over again. It was the one and only summer I did this, because those trees quickly grew. 

And now that I share this memory, it reminds me so much of Baker. He is so much like me in so many ways. He is very self-driven, internally competitive. I could put in work by myself, just for myself. Baker is so much like that. Makes me tear up, so proud of myself and him.

Mom- do you and dad remember this??

Biggest fear? That is a big question. My hope is in the Lord. I know that He holds me and surrounds me. I know He does that with the people I love the most too. The comfort that provides makes this question hard for me to answer.

I will say this, I do want to be prepared for life, spiritually. I know trouble and tribulations are on the menu for my life. I am not necessarily scared of them, I just want my faith to stand strong when they come. I want to be able to lean on my faith and my heavenly father when it happens. I struggle with little difficulties doing this, so I do fear when bigger battles come my way, I won’t be prepared. I am so grateful for people God has placed in my life that have been inspirations in this way.

Staying in a cozy house with an incredible view, sipping a latte after a 4 mile hike in the mountains. That is my dream, yes.

Well- okay. This is a fun question to think about. Multiple things came to mind, but only one stuck out as the winner.

Sitting in church, holding hands with Martin. 

I get emotional thinking about it. Knowing that I am building this life with Martin makes me feel absolutely content. There is no one I’d rather be doing it with. Worshiping together, listening to incredible sermons, and having a moment of complete peace with each other is just- chef’s kiss! ( God is that chef, just FYI).

When that peace covers my soul, I honestly feel beautiful and confident as Martin’s wife, as a mother, and as a daughter of God.

Thanks for stopping by the blog. Y’all are becoming so special to me.
