Hello from Hannah

Hey hey! Today I’m welcoming my little sister to the blog. I think the last time she wrote a post was when her son was born, so we’re definitely overdue for a Hannah update.

If you’re new here, my sister Hannah is a mom of four living just outside Pittsburgh. She’s married to her husband, Josh, and together they stay busy serving in our church (more on that below!), homeschooling their kids, and running a little homestead. She also works for our family’s real estate brokerage. So yes, she’s happily busy pretty much 24/7!

Alright, enough from me. Take it away, Hannah!

Hey guys, it’s me Hannah! I’m just popping in on Allie’s blog to let you know what we have been up to lately! I always have enjoyed Allie’s blog posts were she does a certain amount of words per picture so I’ll join in on the fun.

As always, God has been blessing us over and beyond and life has been full of lots of silliness, fun, difficult moments, blessings in disguise, and even some change! So here we go… six words per picture!

More from Hannah 📝

These last couple of months have been some ones of serious change. I have felt myself changing from the inside out in so many ways, as we all do when we submit to God. Surrendering is hard and so is change, but God is so much bigger and He is at the end of each new corner that we turn, ready to refine us and lead us on the straight and narrow through His Word!

I am so thankful to have a faithful husband leading our family and for his new opportunity to have a part-time position at our local church. I’m also thankful for this new season of homeschooling and how it feels like a dream at times… and sometimes a nightmare… only kidding! Being on top of things with your children’s education is no easy task, especially in the dreary winter months, but it has been nothing but blessing upon blessing!

Not to mention I get to do it alongside my sister, two of my sister-in-laws, and some of my best friends as well! Most of all, I am retraining myself to slow down. Life is so much more than rushing and achieving and looking the best for others to see what *you* are doing. It is being still, being present, and letting God work—His timing is impeccable and not to mention… perfect! 

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21 

What have you been learning in your season of life right now?
