I’ll remember yesterday forever. 🥹💓 What a gift to be at the @dearmomconference in Laguna Beach with 500+ moms raising their sweet kiddos with disabilities.
I got to share on Living Openhanded, but the richest part was YOU and your stories. So many of us know “the phone call,” the Google spiral, the weight of the unknown for our kids, the much-prayed-for wins/joys in our days. Yesterday held all of it. A room full of sacred empathy, where experience was in everyone’s eyes mine met and we understood each other before a word was shared.
I’m grateful our children are made in God’s image, on purpose, and His. 🤍 Care for your mind, body, and soul, mamas. 💭🏃🏽🙏🏽 Live open-handed with everything… not because it’s easy, but because He is faithful and He loves you. Praying for you with intention!
PS: That dance party was EPIC and the goats on the 🏔️ near us had me cracking up all day.
Until next time, xx

Hey — I wrote a book about all of this.
Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.
