We Don’t Struggle Alone
To my daughter, I hope you know you aren’t alone in the struggles you are having. I’m struggling, too, and aching with the confusion and the questions I sometimes have about the world around me. The beauty is that while I get to help you through your struggles, you are helping ME through MINE. Parenting is hard. It is scary and mistake-laden, but every now and then I get a glimpse of redemption and restoration through it.
“We are in this struggle together.” (Philippians 1:30 NLT)
![Somehow, I ended up solo tonight. I was already deep in the process of food prep for dinner, and almost bailed when I found out I'd be the only one eating it. But after finishing my first #whole30 last month, I decided I'm worth the effort - even if it's just ME - and continued making my in-depth recipe (which I would have NEVER done just a few months ago). Not only that, I decided to double the recipe so I could share the surplus with a #cleaneating friend who is recovering from surgery.
.
This is my favorite Whole 30 meal:
•Creamy Bacon Garlic Spaghetti from @paleoglutenfreeeats
•Zesty Ranch Smashed Potatoes from @realfoodwithdana
•#DumpRanch from @wholesisters
.
[Thank you again, @mwannall, for roping me into Whole 30 and changing my life. I love you, sister!]
