Intro

We named our blog “Raising Mustard Seeds” after the famous parable in Matthew’s Gospel. We had some mustard seeds of our own laying dormant in our hearts, and finally, the year before our marriage, we began to let those seeds grow. Our journey with Christ hasn’t always been easy, but it has bore more fruit than we could possibly imagine. And through the mustard seeds He planted in our hearts, He opened them to receive little mustard seeds of our own…

While Jesus in this parable is talking about how faith and our relationship with God should grow from something very small to something mighty and powerful, it’s applicable to our children as well. It is our hope that through prayer and proper parenting, our children will grow from small and helpless (tiny mustard seeds) to being mighty in Christ, so that they will be shining lights in the world and people will come to “dwell in the branches” of their faith.

So, this is our little space in the big internet where we will share our most likely crazy experiences as we start our family and we hope those who are close to us will enjoy laughing at us and with us, and maybe even learn something new :)

Our Grandmother's Day Photoshoot Attempt

Okay, y'all. Gianna is seriously adorable, but she stares at the camera like it's an intruder when she sees it. Or she ignores me altogether when I try to get her attention because she has seen the camera. Too smart. (It really takes both me and Chris to be there to have someone entertain/distract while the other covertly takes a picture) I like to enjoy her in 1st person anyway, rather than camera-person, but I tried to take some good pictures of her for Mother's Day to put in a photo collage for her grandmothers. Well, these were the 3 that made it.



 And here are the rest, narrated by yours truly. LOL.
Bored.


 
 If I don't smile, will you stop?


 Please let this be over soon. 


Really, Mom. Stop. 


Maybe I can avoid her and her scary camera by acting like she's not there. 


Or try the "deer in headlights" look. 


 
Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaance

 
My hand is so yummy.  

 

This girl cracks me up.
