Q + A Day!! Ask me anything about Adoption!

June 13, 2017 Teresa Swanstrom Anderson

The kids are all at VBS (Vacation Bible School) this week so I'm sitting here sans kids from 9-4 every day. I know...WHAAAAT?!

I've wanted to do this sort of Q + A for awhile but never knew when I could be accessible all throughout the day to answer all the questions.

Until now. YAY!

Did you get a chance to look through the post I shared yesterday? It's chock-full of adoption joys and struggles from through the years.

Anyway, let's get to it!

Ask away!!!

Take Joy,

Teresa

I have a fervent eagerness to build a place where we can get filled up, when we feel like all we do is pour out.

I do my best to be real and honest about life, our struggles, and how God stretches me through (so many) mistakes along the way.

May this be a place of nourishment for an everyday, beautiful life.

I’m often asked how I get up so early in the morning since I am NOT a morning person. Because it’s important to me to begin my day in the Word, I basically have to remind myself: am I interested in my walk with God...or am I committed? In other words, I literally ask myself this question every morning as I crave pressing Snooze 20x: “What’s more important, my relationship with my pillow or with my Heavenly Father?” I’ll be honest, there are seasons when I grumble, turn off my alarm, and roll over. But for nearly every day for the past six years, I’ll chosen to get up early and start my day with Him before the chaos of the day begins. Do you get up before your family, too? Is it easy? Hard? How have you noticed it changing your day-to-day?
Yay!! I finally finished (I think 😂) the piece I painted for above our mantle! What do you think...should I lean it (like it’s currently doing) or hang it so there’s some space between it and the mantle? Hmmmm...
I’m filming some hair + makeup tutorials with @katprostudio on Friday. Head to my Stories and tell me what you’d like to see!!
Yes it’s full of sugar...but when your 10-year old says he wants to bake something for the family, how can you say No?! He’s always wanting to create new recipes...maybe we have the next celebrity chef on our hands! 😉💕💕
I love my children but I do not love bickering. Who’s glad it’s nearly bedtime?! 🙋🏼‍♀️
Don’t you hate when you see something in your mind’s-eye and you just can’t create it? We have family pictures at our house on Sunday and I wanted something new on the mantle (since I’ve cleared everything off after Christmas and it’s a blank slate right now). Just swiped it all to “erase” the ugliness I painted, haaaa. Trying to decide if I’ll leave it or start over...or scrap the project! What have you worked on lately that didn’t turn out as you hoped?

Let's stay connected

I'm just so thankful you're here. May this be a place where you can sit back and feel nourished...take a few moments for yourself so you may be filled up. No one can pour from an empty bucket.
