1 Corinthians 13:4-7 has always been so special to me especially when I was seeking love In all the wrong places. Then there was the season I walked through marital challenges, separation and divorce I found myself studying this and praying this often. Then there is the parenting thing. It is no joke. As a single/bio/adoptive/foster/working mama, I need to truly embody what love Is.
I do love putting my name in scripture. I love putting my kids name in it and praying the scripture over them too!
Kami is patient and kind. Kami is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Kami does not demand her own way. Kami is not irritable, and Kami keeps no record of being wronged. Kami does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Kami never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
I plan to print this and pray this all week long for myself and my kiddos.

I needed this beautiful reminder today!!!!!!! I don’t have any real words to share other than I’m thankful for this! We are walking Into a major season of shaking things up. It can be much needed, part of the plan and yet challenging...all at the same time.
Both of my oldest boys are getting ready to go off to college. Keimani will start school in South Carolina this fall, Colton is transferring to a local, public high school and Skyler will be a lone soldier at BCS. I guess it's time to embrace the shake. Im super excited to share an update. C has been living with us since the middle of May. This weekend we are beginning reunification with BIO mom. It's 10 years later! Talk about a miracle. Life is messy and wonderful, transition is tough and we are certainly not robots. Emotions will be all over the place. Such a timely reminder.
“Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. Love never fails [it never fades nor ends].”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a AMP
