Now about 2 months into our solids journey, I’ve learned a lot, let go of a lot of expectations, and cleaned up a looooot of food out of my sweet babe’s hair and rolls. It’s no secret that I enjoy cooking and learning about nutrition, so when I say this journey has been FUN, I …
For me, it’s a “going back”. Maybe for you, it’s a “staying faithful there”. Or maybe it’s going there for the first time. Wherever you are in your journey with Jesus, the secret place is an important part of it, and Jesus makes that clear. Today, I have a song on my heart about Going …

First, A Letter to My Newborn Son – On Feeding Cradling your tiny body in my arms We’ve both shed literal blood, sweat, tears You’re hungry. You just want to eat. You’ve never done this before. Neither have I, baby. I know I’m bigger and stronger and I’m supposed to know what I’m doing and …
