40 Days of Repentance | Day 1: Eclipsed
Day 1 of a 40-day commitment to turn back to YHWH: These last few days I've felt like my toddler holding his breath underwater...
Sabbath Reflections: Neha
The Father often calls us into unexpected territory.
To the boy who just turned one…
One year ago, Yahweh gave us a son. We named you Kale Easton Lukoskie, which can be loosely translated "free man from the east." Fitting, since we almost didn't get your birth certificate from the state of South Carolina. It was an amazingly powerful and sweet #homebirth, but even better than the experience of pushing you out of my body is the experience of being your mom and watching you grow over the past year... Your smile is contagious. You currently have five teeth and a slight underbite that I secretly hope you never outgrow, because I think it might be the cutest thing ever. Your laugh is evidence of His Kingdom on earth. I'm so glad you like being tickled, because I could listen to those baby giggles all day long. You look a lot like your daddy. And that's okay with me. Watching you and Indie play together brings me so much joy. Your personalities are extremely different, and I'm positive the Lord did that on purpose. Let's just say there's a reason why we call you "the great equalizer." Yahweh knows exactly what we need... ;) You love food. And so far you seem to be a pretty healthy eater. I'm betting that you'll have…
Motherhood: Winging It
My good friend (and doula at Indie's birth), Lindsay Fisher, gave me that mug as a gift after Kale was born, along with a T-shirt that says "Raising Tiny Humans is Exhausting." I wear it at least once a week and receive multiple empathetic nods whenever I do (no doubt, from moms who can relate). The mug and shirt together pretty much sum up how I feel about this whole mama thing... It is quite exhausting—mentally and physically—and most days, I'm pretty sure I have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing. I'm just ... "winging it." But motherhood is also one of the most spiritually rewarding experiences we women can ever have. I'm reminded daily of how much my Father in heaven loves me. And I understand, now, why my obedience to Him is so important. He lovingly provides me with instructions on how to live, how to walk in His ways, and how to love Him, and those instructions are for my good. Indie is a perfect example. Several times, on recent occasions, she has willfully turned her back in disobedience to the simple instructions we have given her, and almost every time, she has ended up hurting herself. She quickly…

Reflections on the true meaning of rest and gratitude as we say goodbye to the house where we started our family and made four years of incredible memories.
