    Just thinking of my dad today on the fourth annive Just thinking of my dad today on the fourth anniversary of his death. I ate some naengmyun for you dad and left an empty seat. We miss you all the time, but we see glimpses of you everywhere everyday. #grief #griefislovepersevering
    A very happy anniversary to my favorite #Ninja. I A very happy anniversary to my favorite #Ninja. I have officially deemed him the #1 husband for this year.

    This is the breath prayer that my spiritual direct This is the breath prayer that my spiritual director stinaburrows helped me come up with today. I’ve already said it so many times today and it has been incredibly healing. It has helped me to know that I am one of the beloved sheep and Jesus is my shepherd - who gives me everything I need and leads me to green pastures. Sometimes as moms, pastors, caregivers, we forget that we, too, are cared for and deeply appreciated, seen, and loved. I hope you are reminded by this breath prayer.
    It’s been a busy and difficult season but I was It’s been a busy and difficult season but I was so thankful to my wonderful friend khenslelowrance who asked me if I wanted take a basket weaving class. I, of course, said yes! Taking time to do something new and creative is always so restorative to me. I can’t believe I made this! Thank you friend for always listening to me and inviting me into your creative endeavors! #basketweaving #creativity #friendship

    Swipe through to see the facts. The one that hits Swipe through to see the facts. The one that hits me the hardest is Fact 3. My kid is 13 and they have been having to do active shooter drills since they were in 2nd grade. Most recently, my kid was doing the ALICE drill and as they were trying to barricade the classroom door, they saw a person playing the role of “shooter” peering through the window. Do you know what my kid said to me when telling me this? “Mom, if that was a real shooter, we probably would’ve all been dead.” This is NOT okay. And on Saturday, my friends and one of their sons were murdered in #allentexas with their other son still hospitalized from injuries. He just lost his entire family in a blink of an eye because of guns. And if I am being real here, also because of white supremacy. Join aachristcollab and me in this conversation on Saturday, May 20th. If you can’t make it to LA, but want to organize a watch party for the live stream, message me and let me know. Our work begins by starting the conversation. Let’s #endgunviolence together - for our kids, for our grandkids, for the next generations to come, and for God’s precious people made in God’s image. #gunsensenow #speakup #momsdemandaction #linkinbio
