There’s been a lot of talk about Gabby Petito, domestic violence, and loving toxic people.
Since Gracie was a little girl and could mutter a sentence we have had this little saying, “I love you from Reese‘s pieces, stoplight, house.” We were driving down the street and we must’ve been eating Reese‘s pieces and passed a stoplight and then passed a house etc. And it just kind of stuck from there. Her being in Stillwater, and so far away on her birthday I wanted to do something special. I reached out to a local cookie decorator and baker in the Oklahoma area.

I read something this morning likening the love Jesus had for us in the Garden and ultimately dying on the cross to the love a mother has for her child. That there was no limit to how far a mother would go to protect her child, and Jesus was no different with us. We as mothers would endure that same torture to save our children.
She committed long before she got accepted. Now we’re all committed and it’s a family thing!

God showed me my heart in his hands at a potter's wheel. It was stretched, worn out, and misused but still his piece of artwork that he lovingly held in his hands. He showed me how gently he holds us, how he wants to take the beautiful parts of us and add to them. And, cut away the rough edges. He’s shown me this when I pull weeds before but this was powerful in a different way because as he was holding me (my heart) and the pottery wheel began to spin he showed me how vital the water is to remolding the clay!
