Lake Weekend with the Reese Fam!

Hello everyone!! I have missed yall! Baby Reese and I are growing fast these days. I am now at 29 weeks, which is so exciting. We cannot wait to meet this little guy.

Life has been crazy for the past month. I guess we are trying to get all our last traveling in before the baby comes. We went to Charleston for our anniversary, Edisto with some friends, Litchfield for labor day weekend with my family and then the lake with Ryan's family. It has been a full schedule, but a ton of fun. 

We headed to Lake Nattaly a couple of weekends ago. It was awesome because the whole family was together and that rarely happens. We had a pontoon boat that came with the house we rented, so we enjoyed taking it out on the beautiful lake. We hung around the house, soaked in the hot tub, played some board games and watched football. Scout had a great time swimming in the lake. It was a wonderful weekend and a sweet time of everyone being together.

The Shame Game

Ashamed. That is one of the main feelings I can use to describe how I have felt this week. Ashamed. When my 4 year old fought against 3, yes 3, grown medical professionals trying to obtain a strep test (which he did have). I saw the looks they exchanged as he bit the tongue depressor and gritted his teeth and made their job a living nightmare. Ashamed. When it was my two boys fighting that caused the other little boy to run and tell his mom that they were making his play time not so much fun and then they left. I felt like I saw a look that she gave me too. Ashamed. As I carried two bawling, boneless children through Publix trying to get to my car after they pitched royal fits through most of the checkout line. I saw the look my grocery cart helper and an older lady walking by exchanged as they took in my helpless state against the two raging children. Ashamed. When I lost it on my 6 year old who needed me to stay in the room so he could go to sleep when I was trying to

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it
