Overwhelmed? Seek First.

March 17, 2018 cassiepattillo

I said it in a recent post, but I feel that it's worth mentioning again, parenting is HARD.  I mean, these babies are born literally dependent on us for everything.  I remember when they told my husband and me that it was time to take Hunter home from the hospital.  We were both thinking, "Are… Continue reading Overwhelmed?

The Identity Crisis- It’s Not Just for Teenagers.

March 8, 2018 cassiepattillo

I'm saying goodbye to the role of being a cheer coach.  If you know me, you know that cheerleading has been a big part of my life for a long time.  Saying goodbye is bittersweet.  But as I step away, I can't help but think back to my days of when I was a cheerleader,… Continue reading The Identity Crisis- It’s Not Just for Teenagers.

Pointing My Kids to Jesus- Resources I’m Loving

March 2, 2018 cassiepattillo

Let's all agree, parenting is HARD.  That's probably the most obvious statement of the year.  I've been a parent for almost 4 years, and I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert.  All I really know is that my deepest desire for my kids is for them to know Jesus as their Savior… Continue reading Pointing My Kids to Jesus- Resources I’m Loving

Racing Well.

February 22, 2018 cassiepattillo

Yesterday, one of the most influential men to the Christian faith went home to be with the Lord.  You might live under a rock if you didn't hear the news of Billy Graham's passing.  Social media was filled with his quotes yesterday, which to be honest, was a nice change of pace from the usual. … Continue reading Racing Well.

To the Girl Searching for God’s Will… The HOW-TO.

February 13, 2018 cassiepattillo

Okay, so you're with me on that searching for God's will has a lot more to do with abiding in the Vine and a lot less to do with treasure maps (if you have no idea what I'm talking about, click here).  But I also know that just telling you to abide by being in… Continue reading To the Girl Searching for God’s Will… The HOW-TO.

To the Girl Searching for God’s Will…

January 30, 2018 cassiepattillo

I see you sitting in your dorm.  You're trying to pick a major.  How are you supposed to know what you want to do for the rest of your life? You see that lady who is a few steps ahead of you in life- maybe she has a career, maybe she's a mom. You look… Continue reading To the Girl Searching for God’s Will…

Rescued.

January 15, 2018 cassiepattillo

At the start of 2018, one of my new favorite Instagram accounts (@wellwateredwomen) issued a #Wordbeforeworld challenge.  Essentially, it's a challenge to put the Word of God before the world.  The Lord used this challenge to lead me to take on Scripture memory, by memorizing a verse from each book of His Word.  He led… Continue reading Rescued.

2017- Lessons from the Lord.

December 29, 2017 cassiepattillo

2017 is coming to a close, and like most people, I really can't believe it. In 2017, we've learned how to answer 1000 questions a day from our 3 year old and how to keep our one year old out of the Christmas candy. We've laughed a lot too, thanks to our crazy boys. We've… Continue reading 2017- Lessons from the Lord.

Truths in Missing Mom.

December 23, 2017 cassiepattillo

We have had SO much fun this Christmas with our boys!  Our 3 year old has looked at his "Christmas list" (the Toys R Us magazine) so much that it's falling apart.  Our 1 year old is currently running around in Santa PJs, and it's adorable.  We've looked at Christmas lights, gathered with family and… Continue reading Truths in Missing Mom.

Not Just a Baby.

December 8, 2017 cassiepattillo

We hung the felt Christmas tree the day we decorated our real tree. "Can I decorate it now?" Our 3 year old kept asking. His felt tree has 25 felt ornaments. Each ornament has a Scripture on it that deals with Jesus and His birth. The idea is to start December 1, and put on… Continue reading Not Just a Baby.

I looovveee teaching God’s Word to women!! Last week, I was honored to be a part of Enjoy God’s Word, an online Bible teaching conference for women. I got to teach about one of my favorite things— hospitality 🏠! Recording my talk is always an adventure 🤪… kids saying “6… 7….”, garage doors opening 😂. Shout out to my husband who supports me in a million ways, including being my tech guru 🩷! If you’re type-A, love a to-do list, & color-coded calendars make you happy, then “Unhurried” is for you. Christ has a better motherhood for us than one burdened by guilt. Let God be God. Rest in Him & seek first His purposes for your life 🙌. How about a mindset shift on this Monday morning after a crazy weekend?! Life isn’t busy, it’s FULL ✨. Blessed to be their mama. What a joy it was to teach God’s Word to the ladies at PBC (@philadelphia_baptistchurch) this morning 🩷! Scripture means the same thing it meant when the authors originally wrote it (inspired by the Holy Spirit, of course!). We *don’t* get to come up with our own meaning. We ask, “What does the Bible mean?” A planned pregnancy (even born on his due date!). A surprise that STILL keeps us on our toes & laughing. An international adoption process that took 4 years, but was worth every minute of the wait. 4 times of seeing those 2 pink lines & being so excited, but then, 4 miscarriages, all completely different from the other. & now, another adoption process is underway (domestic this time!), & we’re still in the middle of the wait/unknown.
