Daily bread, your will be done

A few fun facts.

• I recently started making sourdough bread and it has felt good to make something with your hands and to learn something new. 
• My daughters name is Dailey and my sons name is Will - both after two of my favorite Bible verses. 
• From Matthew 6:10 and other places “Your will be done.”
• From Matthew 6:11 “Give us today our daily bread.”
• Leaning in to living in each day and trusting God with the outcome and trusting that He is good.
• My daughter is three and loves seeing her name written places, so I tried my best to score it into the bread. I didn’t even think of it but my husband saw it and said “Dailey bread” :)
• Their middle names are Dailey Suzanne (my grandma, my mom and myself all have the middle name Suzanne) and Will Otho (after my dad John Otho Yeiser IV).
• Names have occupied a lot of my thoughts since having kids. Names we used and names we decided not to use. I’m not sure why but I do love the beauty behind names. God made us and our parents name us. They have connection to the past through family names and freedom to make our own name with it through our lives. 
• The saying “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” has also been popping into my head a lot lately - and thinking “a rose next to any other fake fragrance would not smell as sweet.” I’ve shared more about fragrance before but the reality that a real life, beautiful rose does not smell the same when compared to a fake rose fragrance feels like we’re missing something better. I get this same feeling when using social media compared to actually being social and spending time with people. God’s real thing holds so much more beauty.
• I just finished Joanna Gaines’ book “The Stories We Tell” and she uses the words “a deeply distracted world” to describe us right now and it stuck with my soul. I pray that in my own life I am living in God’s will for that day daily and that I am not deeply distracted. I also pray that someday I’ll be able to build a beauty company that adds beauty to peoples lives when they actually need a body lotion or soap or whatever it might be in a helpful way instead of adding more distraction. I pray that someday these beautiful products in my head will become beautiful products in real life that grandmas will buy for their granddaughters, but also for themselves, and mothers for themselves but won’t mind their little daughters using them too, because they are good products made of good stuff that spread the good news.
