#FBF // Our lives have changed a little over the last five years— for one, we’re no longer globe trotting as newlyweds squeezing 17 trips in one year. 🤗 // I often look back on photos like this one and wonder “what in the world did we do with all our time?!?” (But like seriously, is it just me?!) Our days are fuller these days— but I wouldn’t change it for the world. There’s a grace and strength and joy that’s promised for each and every new day. And it is oh so sweet. And today more than ever, I’m grateful to follow this man as he follows after Abba. Best man. Best papa. DON’T SETTLE PEOPLE! :)

First #SUNDAESUNDAY of ‘18. 🎉🍦🎀 #finnleyhaven

FIVE. 🖐🏼 FIVE YEARS with this dreamboat of a man of mine. . By God’s grace, faithfulness and mercy, we’ve journeyed hand-in-hand through victories, devastating heartbreaks, and witnessed miracles and growth and heart change in ways we didn’t think possible. . We’re farrr from perfect. We’ve faced our fair share of challenges and trials; a 3mo stay in the nicu, one failed adoption, devastation in our families, our fostercare journey, business ventures, and challenging health issues— (just to name a few ;)) . We thought life would break us— and it did. But as Spurgeon so perfectly put it, we’ve learned to kiss the waves that send us crashing against the Rock of Ages. We’ve been pushed way beyond what we thought ‘we could handle’ but Abba Himself upheld and sustained us. He’s brought us so far and I’m so amazed at how much we’ve grown. . The Lord has blessed us with soo much. And watching you father our babes truly puts it all into perspective. . I could write ten pages worth of words of all the reasons why he’s just absolutely the best. . This man goes to war for me and our little babes and there’s no one else I’d rather do life with. Thank you for choosing me. I love you Johnny Cavanaugh! . And uh, we’re basically adults now. No longer 22 and 26. When did that happen?! #3313

Officially at that age where it is a small miracle if she falls asleep / naps before 8PM. . Most days are a rambunctious thrill of art projects and dance parties and hilarious questions. But some days I’m tempted to count down the minutes before bedtime— then I remember she’ll basically be in college tomorrow. 😭 . May my heart never forget the privilege of stewarding this little girl’s heart— and how good it is for mine. . My prayer is that Abba would graciously remind me to look for His perfect joy, peace, wisdom, and strength in every season of parenting— because He’s right there waiting. . And gosh, it’s so much more fun when I invite Him. How silly I am to ever attempt parenting alone. I can do no good thing apart from Him. . Grateful for every second with this precious miracle babe of mine. . #finnleyhaven #thisisthree #caviehouse #askwoobo

Bunny + Ducky + PapaBear. . 1 week to the day after getting licensed, the most perfect little miracle came through our doors. . We’re learning to trust and surrender on a whole new level, but it is oh so sweet. . Grateful and honored beyond measure— and just loving life with these three! #fosterlove #finnleyhaven #DuckyCav

Ain’t no sickness gonna hold us down. This girl. This age. This dress-up phase. The best. ✨ #finnleyhaven

All. The. Nursery. Feels. #DuckyCav #fosterlove #CavieHouse #lovemakesafamily

Second favourite part of my day: Watching this nap-mat-carrying lil tot run full-force out of class (with her eyes closed) while yelling “winter is coming.” 😂😂 #gotmeh #finnleyhaven #thisisthree

Day dates with my Bearded Carpenter Man/Boss/BabyDaddy never disappoint. . Although we work very closely together, we’re rarely on the same project— or in the same room for that matter. It can get pretty crazy to run a business together while growing our little family. And to be honest, some days feel like we’re juggling— while on a balance beam— with like 7 plates on our heads. :) . As we lean on Abba and plan/navigate through this season which is to-the-brim-full of transition and surrender, I’ve been so convicted of how many times throughout scripture God graciously reminds us not to worry or have fear of the future. . I’m grateful to know that Abba doesn’t ask us to step into tomorrow. On the contrary, He urges us—multiiipleee times— to live in the present and rely on His strength. . In the words of Moses, “According to thy day, thy strength, rest, and security shall be.” (Deut 33:25) God sovereignly knows exactly what we need for each and every day— He’s pre-purchased it and sealed it with blood. So in short, tomorrow, we will have grace for tomorrow. :) . I’m so grateful for His grace, strength, and tender-loving mercies—which are new every morning! . “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” Matt 6 (MSG)
