Mi Querida Familia: Salt Shaker

August 18, 2012

Salt Shaker

My husband gave me great advice today. He told me to keep my salt shaker with me at all times. Take everything with a grain of salt and be prepared to be salt and light to everyone we interact with. Not everyone operates with Christ's love in their heart and an abundant mindset, and we are ALL human - those you lead and those who lead you. That's pretty good advice, I think.

I'm Renee. I am first, and only, a child of the King of Kings. I am a wife to my husband who grew up in Costa Rica, and Mama to my two boys, one still on the way. Home is in Colorado Springs, but it's also been in Costa Rica and San Diego. We raise a bilingual household. I am a small business owner. I use cloth diapers, I make my own baby food and I am proud to be a Babywise mom. I am opinionated, outgoing and bold, but Jesus daily brings forth loveliness. I am a Southern California girl who says ya'll and I like to start my sentences with conjunctions. I worship loudly with my eyes closed, my hands up, and (usually) tears streaming down. Writing and speaking are great loves of mine. Skin care is my trade. Jesus and his people are my reason for being and my boys - the most important people in my life - get my kisses daily. I believe in living BIG. In giving EXTRAVAGANTLY. And in loving DEEPLY.
