The Boy in the Powder Blue Suit…

by Jennifer Frisbie | Jan 19, 2016 | #beautifulstories, Faith, Insecurities, Past

It seems like a lifetime ago. That day my grandpa pulled his blue Ford pickup truck into the parking lot of the Jefferson Street McDonald’s. We often stopped in Jefferson City on our way to and from the Lake. Today was a little unusual, though. We were heading...
A Throwback Thursday Worth Remembering

A Throwback Thursday Worth Remembering

by Jennifer Frisbie | Mar 31, 2015 | Coffee For Your Heart, Faith, Identity, Image, Insecurities, Redeem, Tell His Story, Testimony Tuesday, Three Word Wednesday

I enjoy stalking people on Throwback Thursdays. I think it’s because I have a love for pictures. While words will always be my choice of storytelling, sometimes looking into the lives of others through images is insightful. But there are times in my...
You’re Loved No Matter What

You’re Loved No Matter What

by Jennifer Frisbie | Mar 14, 2015 | Encouragement, Insecurities, Review

  A few weeks ago my oldest daughter came to me with a confession. She was pretty adamant about her dislike of an extracurricular activity and wanted to quit. As in…that day. She knows our rule. The kids are welcome to try an activity but they must stay...
Five Minute Friday: Open

Five Minute Friday: Open

by Jennifer Frisbie | Feb 19, 2015 | Five Minute Friday, Humble, Insecurities, Peace

This week’s Five Minute Friday prompt is on the word open. It was easy for me to keep things bottled up. I wouldn’t confront my past. I let the enemy have a stronghold over so many places of hurt and I just wouldn’t allow God to have access to my...
Five Minute Friday – Reach

Five Minute Friday – Reach

by Jennifer Frisbie | Aug 29, 2014 | Expectations, Faith, Five Minute Friday, Insecurities

I’ve taken a little sabbatical from Five Minute Friday over the last month or so.  Ever since I returned from the Declare Conference I’ve been in a little bit of a “wild obedience” bubble. Doing my best to silence the noise around me and grasp...
The Upper Room – Overcoming

The Upper Room – Overcoming

by Jennifer Frisbie | Jun 25, 2014 | Body of Christ, Coffee For Your Heart, Courage, Expectations, Insecurities, Tell His Story, Three Word Wednesday

I often sit just a room away as my husband pours out Bible stories and devotions to our two oldest children. It’s really not that I’m trying to be disengaged. I’m actually listening to every word. (Ok, mostly every word.) But I’ve found that...

Such a big thank you to @spillmycup for driving the distance to take these pictures for Lillian’s senior year. She’s pursuing a degree in Library and Information Science so the library pic is a favorite! These are just beautiful! ❤️ #lilliannicole #senioryear

“There may be days when you grow weary of climbi
“There may be days when you grow weary of climbing and you long for flatter terrain, but the slopes are overlaid with tremendous purpose. God uses them to tilt us toward the light, to drain the sludge from our hearts with spring rains, and offer us a view of the landscape that will one day turn into vision.” -Beth Moore Parenting can sometimes feel like a means to an end. A great pressure to get every day “right” in the eyes of some human who is keeping score. It could be us. It could be our friends. It could even be our kids. But no matter who’s watching, the eyes of heaven are the only ones that matter. And it’s those eyes that can take the less than perfect days - the ones that feel so uphill - and turn them into a vast landscape of purpose. We trust, through written promise, that the hard days serve us in ways the easy ones never could. Horace Mann once wrote that each hour was set with sixty diamond minutes. Hours lost with no reward. It’s shocking just how few of these hours we truly have with our arrows before we’re required to release them, yet I can’t agree with the lack of reward. There are moments lost for sure. Minutes wasted over argument or indecision, loss of opportunity or a lack of time well spent. But all are woven into precious delight and unapologetic gladness. A culmination of nearly two decades of dedication to the ones we love as we prepare them for the road ahead. How bittersweet as we experience the last days of adolescence before the dawn of adulthood. A vision we have waited so long, yet truly so very little, to see… #raisingarrows #lilliannicole #senioryear
