This post has been really difficult to type.
Words cannot express the magnitude of the heartache that is with my family right now.
Due to a tragic accident Zakiah was in critical condition and unresponsive. Medic worked very hard to save him but ultimately our great Lord took Zakiah to heaven to be with his beloved pets, Layla and Oreo.
Zakiah was a member of Faith Promise Church and enjoyed having deep conversations about God. He was in the Third Grade and embraced every opportunity to learn. He played football for Maryville Lil Rebs and Southerners. Zakiah was incredibly intelligent beyond his years and an amazing big brother and friend. He was a defender of others and an advocate for his beliefs.
He was passionate, kind and caring in everything he did. He loved the outdoor and shooting his bow. He cherished his time hunting with his Papaw. He was a music lover and enjoyed listening and writing his own songs. Not to mention he had a deep and profound love for his Mama.
Zakiah was truly loved by so many people, and it shows by the sheer multitude of generosity of prayers, kind words and donations from those in the community. I cannot express how thankful I am to all those who have donated.

Whew! An Actual Update!
Hey lovelies!
Sorry that I've been so MIA lately, we are still trying to "move in" our new house LOL! We've been here for a month now and we still somewhat live out of boxes. Haha I'm not used to having so much house that honestly, I'm not really sure what to do with it all! Someone please come help me figure it out!
Besides trying to unpack, I've been busy with tons of DIY projects! The current non-endless craft project are my eldest children's rooms and I finally finished painting their rooms two weeks ago (before and after photos to come at a later time). It's just been a really slooow process with finding those perfect (or not to perfect) pieces for their rooms.
On top of that, I'm hoping my war with PCOS is coming to a close (*fingers crossed*). I finally had a period naturally. Which is something I'm over the moon for because I hate taking medicine! It also means we are seriously one step closer to being able to TTC. However, last week I did have an ultrasound of my uterus and they did find something (but are unsure what) in there. So, I am scheduled for a hystoscopy and D&C Tuesday of next week. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time because, Ezra will be a year in June and we have been given the green light to start trying for baby #4 then if we want. Which is awesome and I'm super stoked about it but, I have SO much on my plate right now.
For about two years now, it has been one of my dreams to start a women's ministry. My ultimate goal is to help women of all types and ages discover their strength and worth and the love Jesus Christ has for them. Through sharing the stories of other women who have struggled with everything from adoption, domestic violence, and life in general (because it's hard) I hope to help empower women. Because you are not alone, you are loved, you have been since conception in your mothers womb. You were fearfully and wonderfully made and there is a whole group of amazing women ready to share their story honestly and openly in hopes to help and encourage you. If you are reading this and you would like to share your story and how God helped you triumph; please feel free to contact me. I would love to talk with you and share your story!
Other than that, everything has pretty much been mellow. I hope you all have a blessed Friday and weekend!
much love,
