PRAIRIE GARDENS and JEFFREY ALANS of Central Illinois & Indiana (Locations: Peoria, Normal, Springfield, and Terre Haute, Indiana), my favorite boutique is having a huge BOGO sale this upcoming weekend (Nov. 2-4) and all of you Central Illinoisan/Indianian folks need to check it out!

I felt the more I did, the more I accomplished and the more I accomplished the more I became. Every time an opportunity arose I saw it as a way for me to establish myself that much more. And it didn’t matter how many babies I had during that time, I still allowed that lie that told me I was never enough to run my life. 

Yes, yes, yes! It's true! Your eyes are not deceiving you...the Kirby crew will be welcoming baby #4 at the beginning of March 2019!!!

This episode is packed full of vulnerable moments about life before our marriage, sex, failures, misconceptions, and unbelief. In this message, I bear it all from my life before marriage to the many struggles me and my husband faced as young newlyweds and soon to be parents.

But here’s the truth friends…influence is powerful, while popularity is common. So are we really being “influencers” if we’re all following what’s most common, what’s most popular?

I often feel like I'm suffocating in my own mess, you know the physical kind of mess. The mess that is endless piles of laundry, dishes, and diapers; the mess that reappears suddenly after every clean up.

We are allowing ourselves to drown in disqualification because we simply compare ourselves to the best life of someone on social media. But let me tell you something, what you think as an imperfection, the Father see's as a tool of perfection to glorify His Kingdom.

If you've been following my Instagram stories lately you've seen that I've been struggling with this whole "influencer" game. Over the past couple of months as I've dedicated my mornings to hearing God's voice I began to feel a shift within me.
