…and navigated what felt like 100 other unexpected stresses and trials
To say this has been the hardest season of our lives is an understatement. It’s been wave after wave. BUT GOD. He has sustained us. He’s been our strength, peace, ever-present help in trouble.
And even in the chaos - some things held steady.
Our meals weren’t Pinterest-perfect. We ate in survival mode most days. But still, we chose God’s Glorious Foods 80–90% of the time.
Not out of willpower. Not from “trying to be good.” But because, by God’s grace, this is just who we are now. Years of practice built a foundation. And when the storm hit, our habits held.
This month, we’re focusing on the Eat Habit. You’ll choose one meal to go all in on. One meal that will be second nature when life gets hard.
Because we don’t build habits for when life is easy.
We build them now so they’ll carry us through when life is hard.
This month’s magazine will guide you step-by-step to nourish your body with the foods God designed… so when the next trial comes, you’ll have a strong, steady foundation.
Let’s build it together! ~ Katrina
Summer is in full swing – and so was the heat the day we snapped this photo at the Braves game. Chris, Luke, and I had so much fun – relaxed, laughing, and soaking in the simple joy of baseball and time together.
Little did we know… the very next day, Luke would suffer a broken nose. That injury became the first domino in a long line of trials.
In the weeks that followed:
- Luke underwent surgery to repair the fracture
- A week later, we spent the night in the ER when his nose wouldn’t stop bleeding
- We finished prepping and listed our home… and five weeks later, we’ve had only one showing
- Chris’ mom passed unexpectedly, and Chris made the heart-wrenching decision to remove life support
- 19 days later, his dad passed suddenly
- In the middle of it all, we sent Ella to study abroad in Italy
