“Design can be more than just a beautiful space to live in; it can quietly tell the story of our lives.” If you were to walk through my home, you’d see pretty things, garbage-picked things, new things, clutter-y things, unfinished things, dirty things… And as much as that should bring me stress, it doesn’t. It’s a snapshot of truth from the story of my life right now. To say we’re busy in this season is putting it nicely. VERY nicely. We’re going everywhere, at all times; every minute of every day. And so… the ‘design things’ aren’t getting as much attention as they used to. It’s taking us a little longer to finish a project + we’ve crossed some off our list as they just aren’t important anymore. Maybe the busy-ness comes from the world opening back up again + we’re excited to live life. Or maybe it’s because we have 3 kids in soccer, 5 pets, an unfinished house, 3 jobs, church + flat out LIVES to live. Whatever the reason, this season is a season. It has a beginning and an end. (THANK YOU JESUS.) That means we won’t be moving at this pace forever. And so. No guilt needed, only GRACE. Much needed grace. Busy-ness is a choice. And in this crazy season, I pray that my heart leads me, not my head. I pray that I hold things loosely so ‘when’ they don’t work out how I want, I’m not all bent out of shape. I pray that I choose ‘living life’ versus ‘doing life’. Oh how precious are the stories that are being written right now. 🤍
