Picture of Good and Evil

December 16, 2009

Yes that's me stuck between Darth Vader and Jesus. Just your typical Saturday night.

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I'm Becky Kiser. I'm a wife, mom to 3 girls, writer, speaker, and founder of Sacred Holidays. I love Jesus and desire to see women follow Him more fully as we go hard after Him and what He has called us to.

This is how we do fall in Texas: leaves are green, they turn brown, they fall, they crunch under our flip flopped feet, and we bring out all things pumpkin and celebrate being in the low 90s. 🍂😂🙄😂🍁

It's FUN FRIDAY!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 @visitthewoodlandstx just re-did the park by the lake and we finally got to go play at it. And the girls shared some of @cjkiser homemade sourdough with the duckies.
.
Its also the #firstdayoffall and we are posted a @Starbucks giftcard on the @sacredholidays page. ☕️🍁😍

This has finally arrived and I've never been happier for a rainy day carline dismissal (instead of walking to pick up) so I can start this-- @brenebrown newest book, #bravingthewilderness. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
.
Have you read her books? Which one was most impactful and why? (I'll share in comments too. 👇🏻) If not one of hers, which book have you read that's impacted you most?

So this started today. #juicing 😳My amazing friend, @ambergentry with @healthanddiscovery, reached out to me a few months ago, after following the cancer scare last fall, and said: let's get you healthy.
.
I don't do extremes or diets or fads. I just don't. I fight hard not to be that girl that's always consumed by weight or size or calorie count. I have health issues that make this a constant struggle. I know diets and fads don't work. My skeptical and defiant self tries to do the opposite of pretty much everything. So show me a diet fad, and I don't care how good it is for you but I'll never do it. It's not a strength of mine. Not to mention is all so overwhelming. One day spinach is best, the next day kale. One day coconut oil will save your life, the next day it gives you heart disease. So I throw my hands up in defeat (and moderate annoyance) with it all too much. .
However, one strength of mine is finding really awesome people who do really awesome things.
.
Amber has become my nutrition coach. Y'all simple things like eating breakfast are the things we started with (anyone else struggle with eating breakfast and sometimes lunch? 🤦🏼‍♀️). And now we are going deeper and I'm doing something harder-- a #juicecleanse. 😳 5 days of only #juicing.
.
Y'all I have been sick for going on 15 days now. Bronchitis and low grade (100-101) every single day. 🙄 I'm desperate to feel better.
.
So if you've done this before, give me all your tips. 👇🏻
.
If you haven't but you like the idea of a nutrition coach who is so wise, so normal, so encouraging, then please, oh please follow @healthanddiscovery and let me connect you with Amber. 😘

When I need to process things, I rearrange. Today I flip flopped and twisted around my entire living room. A fresh start, a new palette is one of my favorite things on the planet. I'm the girl in college who would buy new binders mid semester and re-write all my notes so they'd be clean and in the same color... that is for the classes I actually went too. 🤦🏼‍♀️ #oops.
.
Also one day I will print pictures for the frames in my house. 😂
.
👇🏻 What's your free therapy and/or control freak thing you do?

I think I will become a #ranchgirl. ❤️

I never do thing just for me. I think most women are this way. I also rarely get on board when there is no clear plan, strategy, agenda or something that feels productive. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️ But sometimes when a sweet friend (I'm looking at you @krystlegutz 😘), says come to this retreat and just retreat, you say yes without having any idea what you are getting yourself into. ❤️
.
My friends, could I ask you to pray with me and for me this weekend? I share a lot about my life with you all-- the good and the harder. You know this is an exciting season (kids are getting bigger, @sacredholidays is having so much growth, I have some fun writing things coming up (🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻), my speaking calendar for the next year is filling up, and I'm teaching a Bible study at my church (@churchproject) this fall.
.
Would you pray for this time to be exactly what it needs to be? That I would wrestle out what needs to be fought through. That I'd have some real clarity for next steps. That I would rest. That I would let others serve me and sit back and just be.
.
Love you all. Love getting to see your lives and hear from you and connect with you in the comments. You all make this great big world of social media so very fun and also small enough to feel like fam. 😘😘😘
.
P.S. Isn't this the most amazing porch view on the little cabin I'm staying in???!!! 😍I think I'm gonna like retreating. 😉

This is us. I have a sweet pic of us all posed and smiling perfectly at the camera, but no one is actually like that in real life... at least not in our fam. Our life is wild and our family is too. We fuss and fight (grown ups included). We twirl and tickle. We color outside the lines (well, @cjkiser and Karis don't too often) and try to get places on time but we are always late. 7 1/2 years into it and we still have no clue how to discipline but we aren't giving up on the constantly changing needs our 3 girls have for correction and best living. Our schedule is jammed packed and we try to live a pretty simple life. We never meet budget even though I'm married to Dave Ramsey Jr. There's more yelling in our house-- by all of us-- than I'd like to admit.
.
But one thing we do really well is love each other. Sometimes we struggle to show that best. But at the end of the day we simply prefer to be together. They are my favorite. Each one of them. I choose them 1,000 times over.
.
I have big dreams. Big ones. And feel called to some big things. I hear lies, from what I believe to be a very real enemy, telling me: You can't have it both ways. You can't have this family you've dreamed of and live out this calling. They can't co-exist.
.
This week those lies that used to be whispers have become screams. I've actually had to say out nearly every hour this week: IT'S NOT TRUE, then ask my Father in heaven to tell me what is true.
.
I don't know what lies you are hearing this week, but I'm pretty sure in your gut you know they are lies. RISE UP against them. Fight them. Ask your Father to fight them-- He pretty much dominates winning, so let Him do it.
.
I've been asking Him more and more to show me what it REALLY means to trust Him. This book I'm going to write is all about that and, for us writers, the hardest part is before I can write it I must learn to live it. So here's to a whole new outline being written. 😳😍🙌🏻
.
I love you. If you are hearing lies, I am with you, my friend. If you want me to pray, I will. Promise. Just give me a little 🙋🏾🙋🏼🙋🏽🙋🏿🙋🏻 or share a little more details.
.
You are loved. He says it again and again. Stay so near to His Word. 😘

This is me when I teach. Goal: do WHATEVER you can to get the point across... even if that means you make a total fool of yourself 98% of the time. Sometimes this means I am jumping up and down screaming "I KNOW HIM!!!" like I'm #buddytheelf meets the apostle John, sometimes this means I do a little #whipandnaenae, and sometimes this means I share really embarrassing things. I saw this pic this week and immediately screenshot it because it's how my sweet Bible Study ladies at @churchproject see me. 😂😍😘❤️ #Biblestudy #womensministry #womenoftheword

This has been the oddest #backtoschool season with #hurricaneharvey plus #laborday, I still have no clue what day it is. 😂
.
Last week our Moriah girl had her first day of Pre-K. Never have you seen someone so excited. Also, can you even handle how she wanted to show off her cast to all her friends, by tucking her skirt in? 😍😂💗
.
This day marked Chandler's first day home with mom and she was equal parts happy and sad about it. She loves her one-on-one time with me, but she woke up from nap wondering around the house looking for her sissies. 😭 She also runs into Moriah's class room each morning to give the babydoll's a quick hug and kiss. 😍
.
🙏🏼 Would you all please pray for Moriah? She got her cast off last week and it will be another 4-6 weeks of strict limitations (more than when she had the cast) plus needing some physical therapy. Yesterday she had some kids laugh at her because of how she is walking funny and it made her so sad. She was still talking about the kids that laughed at her as she fell asleep. (I know, 😭😡!!!) Would you pray for her to have confidence and a quick recovery. Pray for her to grow an internal strength from all of this. She is the sweetest, most confident kid and it breaks this mamas heart to see her feeling insecure and hurt. Thank you!! 😘
