  • Happy Fall, Friends🍂 It's a good day when you get to celebrate the weekend AND the start of your favorite season! This time of year, all I want to wear are cozy sweaters and boots, eat yummy soups and pies and drink lots of cider. I love watching the leaves change, going to fall festivals, cozying up with favorite reads and movies, and looking forward to the coming holidays. And to think that we may find our first home during such a beautiful and fun season makes me all giddy inside! #thelowlylife
  • Real talk: I struggle with anxiety. I've struggled with it for years and it's something I don't really talk about and have just never been able to shake. The most random things trigger it and it's such a helpless, scary feeling. I've come before God so many times asking Him about it, why I struggle with it so much and what it's rooted in. But the other day I was listening to one of my favorite preachers, Alistair Begg, teach on it and this fact that he shared was mind blowing to me: anxiety is rooted in pride. That's a pretty tough pill to swallow, but when you really stop and think about it, it's so true. Even though it's not my intention, at the heart of it, I think I know better than God, and therefore doubt his wisdom and sovereignty. By doing this, I rob myself of peace about my life and the lives of those dear to me. I choose not to trust him and allow myself to spiral out of control. When we give into the fear and instability of our own thoughts there comes a point where we crumble. But when our hearts and our eyes are fixated on a Savior who loves us, and who is powerful and perfect in all His ways, our feet will be firmly planted and our souls fully rested. I haven't been too vocal about my struggle with anxiety, but feel like I need to be more, and want to encourage anyone else out there that deals with it too. You are not alone and the grace and strength of Jesus is sufficient for the heavy burden you bear. Anxiety is no joke and is something that should never be dealt with on our own. Not only is Christ our ever present help in times of trouble, but he uses those around us to encourage, comfort and point our attention back to Him. My heart and prayers go out to anyone else who deals with this and I just want to put it out there that I am here for you. Please DM me if there's anything I can do or if you're just in need of a friend. ❤️ #thelowlylife #realstagram
  • Not gonna lie, this girl is a bit weepy today. Jay and I woke up this morning to find out that an investor bought the home (paid in cash and over asking price) that I was so sure was going to be ours. It seemed perfect in every way and I loved it so much😭 I even sent a letter to the owners, trying to butter them up as best as I could to get them to go with us instead. We know that there's a reason we didn't get it and that there's something better coming, but it doesn't take away from the sadness I'm feeling over this place. It was so beautiful and will be a hard one to top, that's for sure. Prayers for peace, wisdom and patience as we continue searching for our first home would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, friends! What's something awesome happening in your life right now? Help cheer me up🎉 #thelowlylife #makewavesmonday
  • Hello, friends! And Happy Friday🎉 I haven't introduced myself in awhile, so I thought it was time for another #fridayintroductions! My name is Danielle🙋🏻 I'm a wife, dog mama, singer/songwriter, occasional blogger, artist and letterer. Last weekend my hubby, fluffy pup and I packed our bags and moved from Austin, TX all the way to Atlanta, GA. We loved our time in Texas, but are so excited for this new season of life and to be living closer to family! I'm an ambivert + homebody. I love being with friends in small, intimate settings, but big gatherings wear me out and I rest and recharge best when I'm alone. Music is my passion and what I feel most called to pursue with my life. I'm a very direct and confrontational person. Awkward, uncomfortable situations don't scare me and I can easily pick up on the the emotions and feelings of others. I like to bake more than I like to cook. I value genuine relationships. Being a good friend is something I'm very passionate about. I love making people laugh (I'm a major dork) and feel loved. If I'm watching Netflix, I'm usually cycling through the same handful of shows. Right now it's Gilmore Girls, Parenthood, Parks and Rec. or Great British Bake Off. And it's just about that time to watch through Downton Abbey again! I am deathly afraid of snakes. Donuts, pizza and tacos are the best in my book. I love trying new things and going on adventures. Now, tell me something about YOU! What do we have in common or differ on? #thelowlylife #momentslikethese
  • A humongous thank you to everyone who's been praying for us during this season of transition to GA! We made it safe and sound late Saturday night and are just so happy to be here. We're still getting settled and have lots more to unpack and organize, but it's all coming together, slowly but surely. This week has been gloomy, wet and windy out due to Irma, but I'll take it over what some other people have been so horrendously hit with the past few weeks. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you. On another note, ever since getting back from our beach vacation, this girl has been all ready for fall and my favorite part about unpacking has been getting out my favorite sweaters and boots! What's the first thing that you like to do to welcome fall?! 🍂 #thelowlylife #simplejoys #bedeeplyrooted
  • To the beautiful city that's been our home for over 2 years: You've inspired us and brought so much adventure and growth into our lives. We love you, Austin! Now on to a new season. Atlanta, GA here we come! #thelowlylife #thehappynow #atxlife 👩🏻‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾👩🏻‍🌾👨🏼‍🌾🚚🚙🍑
  • So many of you have reached out this week, checking in, praying for and helping us so much. I can't thank you enough for the prayers and support you've given! Last night we had a moving van loading/pizza party with the community of people who have been family to us these past couple of years in Austin. It was so hard saying goodbye, but also such a fun time of looking back on precious memories and looking ahead to exciting futures. Thankful for this season here and for everyone God placed in our lives that made it such a sweet time. Right now I'm sitting on our empty bedroom floor and taking a much needed breather with @magnolia Journal, until it's time to head to the airport to pick up my parents! I love so much that they are flying in to caravan to GA and be apart of this whole moving process with us. Call me a weirdo, but I love road trips and I am all sorts of excited over here for the drive tomorrow! Just one more sleep and we're gonna be Georgia folk. Eek! #thelowlylife
  • Not gonna lie, I was a whoooole lot happier, more rested and in WAY cuter clothes in this picture than I am right now🙈 For the past two days we have been pushing it so hard, sweating and working our butts off to make sure everything's done by moving day. We've had some overwhelming moments, are SO tired and have been at each others throats once or twice😂 But it's all coming together and is going to be just fine. In the intense, stressful, exhausting moments, It's so easy to have a negative perspective and to miss all the good things that are happening. We let the little things get to us and have so much control over the way we think and act. But it's when we make time to take quiet, meditative, surrendering moments that we see with clearer eyes and have fuller, rested hearts. When we acknowledge that we're weak and can't carry the weight on our own, it gives God the ability to help us and teach us. It gives Him the control, which in turn gives us more peace and joy. Whatever your week's looked like, His grace is sufficient. Whatever moments of weakness, His grace is sufficient. Let's carry on today with this truth encouraging us and His power strengthening us. Now, on to more packing!📦 #thelowlylife #thehappynow
  • It's so hard to believe that Summer is coming to an end in just a few weeks! This has been such a growing, unexpected and fun season for us. And the fact that we're moving this weekend and spending the rest of our summer settling into GA with family, doesn't seem real yet (Even with all the packing and cleaning we've been so crazily doing this week🙈). Summer has been full of answered prayers, life lessons and hopeful, exciting dreams for the future! I've gotta say though, the one thing that's got me depressed about leaving TX is the fact that we won't be close to @magnolia anymore💔 Good thing I visited a billion times while we were here (not too much of an exaggeration). If you haven't been yet people, you simply MUST go💃🏻 #thelowlylife #iamtheeverygirl
