30 Weeks....

This week was full of fun... mainly, because by the end of the week the nursery had it's complete face lift!! Ceilings were scraped, walls painted and wallpaper hung! I absolutely love it and hope that Baby Rector does too :). I will post pictures after Baby comes, because I won't have most of my bedding until that time - seeing as I don't know what we are having... but the room is looking great!

Really, other than that it has just been quite crazy - wedding season is here! (Well, it has been here since March, but personal schedule is really starting to pick up... hence behind 2 weeks on my weekly posts!).

This week, we pray FAITHFULNESS over you. As we continue to pray that you will receive salvation from a young age, we pray that indwelling of the Holy Spirit would give you confidence to trust in the FAITHFULNESS of our Heavenly Father. I am going to steal some words from one of my favorite songs, but simply because this is a prayer I pray over myself as I sing it... so we will for you too:

FAITHFUL (words by Eoghan Heaslip)

Lord You have shown Yourself to be
Never changing always FAITHFUL
Lord You have shown Your heart for me
The loving touch of a caring father

In every day that passes
And all the worlds distractions
Through seasons and life's changes
You always remain FAITHFUL to me with your

Perfect love, perfect love casts out all fear and shows me that
Every Word and promise to me Will be fulfilled, will be fulfilled

FAITHFUL, you are FAITHFUL, FAITHFUL, FAITHFUL, FAITHFUL

May you cry out in seasons of joy and in seasons of doubt to our FAITHFUL Father, who promises never to leave nor forsake you. Who knows the length of your days even now, while you are growing in my tummy. May you stand on his FAITHFULNESS in a world full of hopelessness.

We also pray that you have a FAITHFUL heart... steadfast in your pursuit of holiness, freely offering your friendship, your heart, your service to others. That you would not stray from your walk, though seasons of life do change, and we will always face struggles in our FAITH, that you would FAITHFULLY cling to the justification and sanctification of your soul.

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the FAITHFUL God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.

1 Samuel 12:24 Only fear the LORD and serve him FAITHFULLY with all your heart. For considerwhat great things he has done for you.

Psalm 40:10-11 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your FAITHFULNESS and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your FAITHFULNESS from the great congregation. As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your FAITHFULNESS will ever preserve me!

Psalm 119: 29-31 Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law! I have chosen the way of FAITHFULNESS; I set your rules before me. I cling to your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame!

Lamentations 3:22-24 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are newevery morning; great is your FAITHFULNESS. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."

Jackson Hole Rector Family Favorites

We love to travel - honestly, can never get enough of it and hope to see so much of this big ole' world in this lifetime. Because we are not professional travelers (but like, can I sign up for that?) we have limited time and resources just like most people do. I LOVE to explore new places - cities, countries, cultures and we need to get to it if we want to even scratch the surface of globe trotting. There are, however, a few places that continue to call us back over and over again.... one, Hawaii: another post for another time, but we have been so fortunate to go almost annually with BJ's parents since I met and married him. What a gift we will never take for granted! We have so many fun memories, moments and suggestions for Maui and Kauai, but that I'll save that for another day. two, Jackson Hole: our very favorite summer destination. I cannot imagine growing tired of the Grand Tetons and this little spot of the country is our dose of heaven on earth. We've traveled a...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

THE OVER-SHARER SHARES AGAIN   For the very small handful of people who have asked, I’m answering to the masses (err, bigger handful). On February 1, I decided to take a social media fast. Our church was challenging us to a 21-day fast and I chose to fast not from food but from something else I had been looking to for satisfaction, delight or distraction. Here we are at the beginning of summer, and with the exception of popping on to facebook to check in with my business partners, I have found great freedom stepping away from social media (right now). Currently, I don’t have a plan to return, but I also know that I should never say never…. …Watch me pop right back in and eat crow in mere moments if I was to say I would be off of it forever. Honestly, social media has been a beautiful thing for me personally, and professionally, for well over a decade. It has allowed me to authentically and organically share my passions, ask my questions, get and give referrals, build and reconn...

12 years later.

Tonight, 12 years ago, I enrolled as a Rodan + Fields consultant. I’ve shared so many times about my journey and how I am still taken by surprise for that level of bravery to embark on a professional journey I was so scared to do. Today, on what should be the celebration of my Rodanniversary, has instead turned out to be one of the most surreal, painful, and grief-filled moments of my entire life. The Rector’s livelihood was taken away in an instant with a restructuring of R+F’s business model… I woke up today having no clue I would be receiving this news and am finishing the day pinching myself to see if I am really and truly experiencing this nightmare.  I have one million thoughts and none at all at the exact same time. Tonight, after processing the reality for myself and with BJ, we chose to sit Eleanor and Tripp down to have the impossible conversation with them - one we genuinely never dreamed could ever come about. And I never want to forget what we talked about around our d...
