I did this for the immune compromised loved ones i I did this for the immune compromised loved ones in my life! @london.crews @rixlady @bean.tyler
Well it’s going to get out sooner or later so here it is.
Before I get nasty comments let me answer a few questions.

1. I did my research, and by research I mean documented scientific research, not “I heard from my dog groomers cousins exwife that....”

2. No I’m not worried about negative massively rare side effects.

3.I’m confident in my choice so please don’t send me your conspiracy theories.

4. I’m sure I’m going to be called a sheep so let me just beat you too it. 🐑🐑🐑 Bahhh

5. If you want to have a civil conversation I will gladly talk about my choices and respect whatever choice you make!
I use to say…
“If they would just comply.”
“I bet there’s more to the story.”
“I bet they were on drugs.”
“All Lives Matter.”

The truth is, I was racist. End of story.
There’s no sugar coating it.
This didn’t directly affect me so I couldn’t be bothered to care.

Then George Floyd was murdered, on tape, and the whole world watched.

This opened my eyes, so I stopped and started listening to the community of broken people screaming for help and calling for justice. I started looking into police brutality cases against people of color and their pain started to make sense to me. I started learning about systemic racism, something I knew nothing about and my heart broke.

I not only started to recognize my own white privilege but I started calling out my own systemic racist views.
I stopped taking a back seat and started speaking up for the oppressed and standing beside the black community.

Today Derek Chavain was found guilty on all 3 counts.
It's plain and simple, he MURDERED George Floyd.

The autopsy was clear.
George died from asphyxiation.
NOT from the drugs in his system.

Being an addict or resisting arrest DOESN'T devalue your life or give police permission to kill you. 
We have to start seeing the victim first instead of the badge.

Can you stand with the Black Community, advocate for reform in the police, AND support the good police that are out there? Yes and I do. Just because I support BLM and want reform in the police doesn’t mean I don’t see and care about the good, dedicated, and caring cops that put themselves on the line each and every day.

My friend @josiahjrizzo said it best. 
“It’s not that cops are “bad people,” it’s that bad people can become cops. There are people I love in a system I don’t (just like the church). Embrace change. Let’s not be afraid to restructure. Our loyalty should be to loving people, not loving systems.”

Today I smile a little wider! Why? Because I got Today I smile a little wider!

Why?

Because I got the honor and privilege of gathering with a group of wonderful people from around the world to talk about Jesus and Christianity as a verb NOT a noun.

It was “church” without “church” and my heart loved it. So many people spoke up and expressed their views and takes on the subject and it was amazing to see all of us growing, learning, and loving together as a community!

Thank you @pastor_paultiktok for creating the space for us all to come together!
Some days I’m totally positive where my faith an Some days I’m totally positive where my faith and beliefs fall while others seem like I’m trying to clean up the aftermath of a flash flood.

The thing I always end up falling back on is love.

Love is the foundation of my entire beliefs. Love is what pushes me forward every day. Love is what always pulls me back to God on the bad days. Love is my rock.

Who was Jesus? He was love! 
What is our greatest commandment? Love!

For me I let it be that simple.
You know something I learned about Jesus a few mon You know something I learned about Jesus a few months ago that I never realized?

He used women to preach the first resurrection message. Women got to come and bring the good news for the first time in history, that death had been defeated.

It may not seem huge for you but the more I learn about the culture in which Jesus lived I understand more and more why he chose women to be the first ones to preach this message.

Why? To show that women are equals.

For years I was taught that women couldn’t be pastors because “the Bible was clear.”

For years I questioned why we followed some rules and yet let others fall to the waist side.

Then I started studying Jesus’s ministry and things came into focus.

During his time he went against cultural norms. He called women daughters of Abraham. Something never before spoke since men were the only ones used in reference to Abraham as his sons. During his ministry He went against religious leaders and broke the rules in the name of love and inclusion.

So this Easter my love and understanding of the resurrection has taken on a whole new meaning, and I feel seen. ❤️

We’ve been keeping a tiny little secret! Yep! Yo We’ve been keeping a tiny little secret! Yep! You read that right. As of March 11th we gave homeschool the big boot and enrolled Lily in public school.

After a long talk and a hard reality check we realized this was just not working for us and we knew we had to do what was best for her and her education.

The reason i’ve taken so long to post this is because in some way I felt like a huge failure. I knew she was behind, everything in me was hating homeschool, but to quite felt like admitting I failed. The thing is, homeschooling is just too many hats to wear and too many things to organize for my ADHD brain.

I confided in a friend and told her how much of a failure I felt like. She said, “You can homeschool. You are 100% capable of doing it, pushing through, and getting her caught up. But it will cost you your sanity,  your relationship with Lily, and destroy her love for learning. It’s not that you can’t do it, it’s that you’re strong enough to admit it’s not what’s best for her and you.”

Thank you Jesus for friends like this who can take your ‘failure’ and show you how in reality it’s one of your biggest successes! Thank you @bobbijoneso

In my wellness coaching we are learning about heal In my wellness coaching we are learning about healthy communication.⁣
⁣
Ughhhh, just reading the checklist for this module made my stomach sink. I knew it was going to be hard, very very hard. ⁣
⁣
Backstory...So, I grew up in a LOUD environment with ADHD. If you don't know, ADHD brains can't process the magnitude and all the details to an argument fast enough and in sequential order. This means our 'flight' mode is strong. (At least this is true for me.) Also with my ADHD poor memory I wasn't able to effectively argue or have a discussion because I would forget my talking points, views, or opinions. It wasn't until 2 hours later that I would say, "Ugh I should have said....."⁣
⁣
This meant I could easily be swayed one way. I rarely, if ever, went against the grain. It was easier and way more comfortable. Part of it, ok a lot of it, comes from me trying to not disappoint anyone. Yes, professional people pleaser right here. Avoiding conflict or courageous conversations are my super power. (I know, not so super.)⁣
⁣
So as I try to learn healthy communication I want to ask you what your tips or tricks are for effective and healthy communication without it becoming too heated or turning into an argument????⁣
⁣
Let's discuss....
Hello my name is Laci and I'm addictied to Tattoos Hello my name is Laci and I'm addictied to Tattoos. It's been 2 days since my last tattoo!
😂
In a matter of 8 days I sat for 6 hours being tattooed and my husband sat for 4.5. We both walked away with a sleeve (ish). He's fully sleeved out from shoulder to wrist, but I'm too chicken shit to get my elbow or the inside crease of my arm done so I will never be as cover as him.

Not only that but we also both have 5 hour sessions booked for the end of September. We love it to say the least. 

Anyone else love tattoos as much as we do??

A few days ago I posted something in support of th A few days ago I posted something in support of the LGBTQIA community. As someone who grew up and spent most of her adult life around evangelical Christians you can imagine how well it went over.⁣
⁣
It wasn't long after I posted it that I realized someone defriended me and people started commenting their disagreement. My first thought was, "Well, that didn't take long."⁣
⁣
I get that this issue is controversial and can be hard for evangelical Christinas to understand. I was in your shoes for YEARS.⁣
⁣
After a lot of growth and research my views have changed and I have complete peace in it. It has taken me 30 years to be ok with my doubts, questions, and the fact that I don't fit in the 'Christian box.'⁣
⁣
Why am I so open about my changing views and my support for the LGBTQIA community? Because with vulnerability comes growth. Not only for me, but for others. Every time I have put myself out there and shared something personal weather that's my mental health journey, my marriage, or my changing views I get a few private messages thanking me. Because by me being open it has helped them in various ways.⁣
⁣
So this space and these posts are for them. The ones questioning, the ones that don't fit in the christian box, the ones that are struggling to understand, the ones that feel lonely, the ones seeking love and acceptance without any stings attached. This space is for them and I will protect it.⁣
⁣
Yes, you are entitled to your opinion and your own views but this is not the space for you. I'm not asking for or welcoming you to share your view on why you thinking being in the LGBTQIA community is a sin, why you think my political views are wrong, or why you think I'm going astray. Trust me, I've heard it all. I've read it all. I've researched it all.⁣
⁣
I say this with the utmost respect. If you can't respect our differences or refrain from commenting your disagreement and arguments then please unfollow or defriend me now. I promise it won't hurt my feelings.
