Hello, Dearest\u00a0\u2026<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If you were to follow me on Instagram, you might be overwhelmed by the cuteness.\"\"<\/p>\n

And maybe you\u2019d feel inundated by the homemade meals, garden and dog photos (not to mention more cute baby!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So basically I am judging my crazy, wonderful, sometimes yucky life against an online personality of others, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

In an effort to be less-edited, here is a snapshot of day-to-day life. Much of my time consists of laundry, work, a messy house, a sometimes -homemade meal (and sometimes a meal from a box or a can) and, at times, a crying<\/i> cute baby. These aren\u2019t images I rush to capture for posterity but here is what it might look like were I to post on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll be honest, that doesn\u2019t even include the messiest parts of my house (decency people, my mother-in-law might read this!). And it doesn\u2019t include my deep struggles, hurts and worries. Those things that are too private for the world to be honored and trusted with. I save those for IRL<\/a> friends who can love me, support me, pray with and for me, and walk alongside me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not advocating an Instagram rebellion. I like Instagram. I like seeing my friends\u2019 photos and posting images of things that I enjoy and make me happy. But I am encouraging us to remember that what we see online is only a teeny-tiny part of what defines a person and what\u2019s going on in their life. And I\u2019m personally challenged to keep it real. \u201cWhat, you dropped a box of spaghetti on the floor?\u201d Post it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Share your \u201ckeepin\u2019 in real\u201d photos on the MOPS Facebook page<\/a> for your chance to win a copy of both the 2013-14 MOPS theme book The Artist\u2019s Daughter<\/i> and the theme devotional Known and Loved<\/i>. Winner will be chosen at random and announced on Friday, August 23.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
