to live barefoot ...

to chisel away the extras ... to live simple, connected, raw and real ... to live with purpose allowing space to breath ... to be open to God's path ... to be in the moment ... to have real time for others ... to do things that bring me joy ... to absorb every moment with my children ... to slow down for my amazing husband ... to see the beauty God has created for me and in me ...

I believe God has a perfect plan for each of us. I believe everything happens according to His perfect plan and if I allow Him ... He can do mighty things through me. I also believe that I can't mess up His plan. He knows that I will fail sometimes. He knows that I will stumble but He will pick me back up, dust me off, kiss away my tears and set me on my way again. He can make beauty through me because I am human, because I will fail and most importantly because I am willing.

I feel called to live "out loud", to let you in on my journey. I pray that you feel encouraged, challenged and loved through this blog. Some days it will just be the random things that make me happy, other days you'll watch me fail. You'll laugh at my kids and relate to those mommy moments. I hope to bring light to some things that I value and to share some things that I hope will empower you. In all of this , I promise to be .... barefoot!
