After the devastating views I’ve seen this week, I am thankful for views like this.
This week has been hard. God has taught me lessons and the main one is that Jackson is my first priority. Before I became a mommy, I would have volunteered, I would have picked up debris, I would have handed out a meal. At one point in my life, I grabbed a press pass and my notebook and headed into the storm to cover the story.
After an F5 destroyed my community this week, I learned my role is different.
I had to get Jackson in the storm shelter and keep him safe.
I had to turn off the news and turn Disney back on.
I had to let him see me pray for those affected by the tornado.
Like my friend Kenna reminded me, “I did what I had to do by keeping Jackson safe.”
Today I’m linking up for Five Minute Friday. You can join us here .
WOW Jennifer — reading this, my heart goes out to you! So thankful that you and your family are ok. Praying for you and your community as you dig out from under all the massive destruction.
Blessings to you for reminding me that my family is my first priority.
My heart really goes out to you right now. I am sure this devastation has very much altered your view. May God keep comforting your family and community today and the following weeks.
Cheers.
Our prayers are with you all. You did good Momma!
Sending you prayers, love, and hugs.
So glad you are safe! Having kids changes your view on a lot of things, doesn’t it?
