Marriage has a way of revealing our default responses when life presses in.

For us, we’ve each had moments where we:
▫️Fight: Say something sharp
▫️Flight: Check out mentally
▫️Freeze: Worry, withdraw

But as we grow together, we’re learning a better way—pausing, talking, and praying first.

God’s peace can meet us right in the messy middle if we turn to Him—not after we’ve exhausted our own strength, but first. 💛

Following Jesus isn’t always easy.
Sometimes it costs comfort, pride, expectations… even relationships. But He never wastes the pain.

Today’s message is to remind us:
You don’t go through hard things because you did something wrong.
You go through them because you follow Jesus.
And in the middle of the fire—He reveals more of Himself.

We’re learning that it’s in the pressing that the faith gets real. That suffering isn’t a sign of abandonment, but of refinement. And that through it all… He’s worth it.

We’ve been in a season of waiting, hoping, and trusting.

Lately, it feels like things are shifting quietly behind the scenes.

Not exactly how we pictured… but maybe just as He intended.

Thankful for answered prayers—even the ones we didn’t know we were ready for.

Sometimes I (Pearl) open the Bible searching for comfort—a promise to hold onto or a reminder that God sees me in the hard places.
But I’m learning this: The Bible isn’t just about me. It’s about God.

From Genesis to Revelation, it tells the story of who He is—faithful, holy, near, and good.

And the more I focus on Him, the more I find the peace and strength I was looking for in the first place.

May we never stop seeking Him—not just answers.

Some seasons teach us to wait. Others teach us to trust what unfolds.

This moment reminds me that peace doesn’t always come from answers—but from knowing Who holds the unknown.

4 years ago today…
we stood before God, family, and friends—
and chose each other for life.

Not just for the good days or the photo-worthy moments, but for the ordinary ones too. For the teamwork, the quiet prayers, the laughter, and the learning.

Marriage has stretched us, strengthened us, and blessed us beyond words. We are not perfect, but by God’s grace, we keep choosing each other—every single day.

Happy Anniversary to us!
Here’s to more growth, more grace, and more of God in our story.

Some gifts are hidden. Sacred.
Not shared publicly, yet deeply celebrated.
And just because they’re quiet doesn’t mean they’re not full of meaning.

I’m learning that some of life’s most beautiful joys don’t need to be announced to be real.
They’re simply held close, whispered between you and God.

Whatever season you’re in—seen or unseen—please know: you are not forgotten.
There is grace here, too.

Not every week starts with a rush.
Some Tuesdays begin with a whisper.

There’s a kind of grace in moments like that—
The kind that reminds you that being held by God doesn’t always look like answers…
sometimes it looks like peace showing up in your weariness.
And that’s more than enough.

Here’s to soft starts, sacred pauses, and strength we didn’t know we had.
Wishing you a week rooted in quiet purpose and gentle grace.

Love doesn’t always look like roses and fancy dates.
Sometimes it’s doing the dishes when I’m too tired.
Or making dinner to handling bedtime. Or baking a late-night cake.

I’m learning to see these little things as big things.

I reached for my phone to capture the moment…
But he reached for me.

“No, no… all gone,” he said, clearly upset.

It wasn’t the book or the game he wanted paused—
It was me he didn’t want to share with a screen.

Parenting is full of these moments. Gentle reminders that their favorite thing isn’t the toys or the books… it’s us.

May we be present for the little ones who ask without words.
May we be mindful even in the messy days.
May we treasure the call to show up, phone down.

Yesterday was one of those long, exhausting days.
I worked more hours than usual and came home running on empty.
But somehow — even after his own long day — my husband met me right there, in that tired space.

He served me dinner.
I bathed Jasper. He got him ready for bed and read to him. He baked a cake for his grandma.
And after all that… he bathed me with care, while I just stood there too tired to move.

This morning, before I started another shift, he made me coffee. Not because he had time, but because he had love to give.

We’re both stretched.
We’re both tired.
But we’re still choosing each other, even in the small things.

And that, to me, is the kind of love worth showing up for.
