I'm going to be real with you for a moment. If you ever come to the Yates home, don’t expect peace, quiet, and rest. Instead, expect chaos and noise. Kids running, jumping, laughing, screaming, and—let’s be honest—probably fighting. All while the dog barks at anything that moves, including a single leaf falling from a tree.
Life is loud sometimes. And messy. And definitely not Instagram-perfect.
But here’s the thing—social media has a way of making us think everyone else has it all together. You scroll through and see spotless kitchens, smiling kids in matching outfits, and people who apparently enjoy drinking green smoothies at 5 a.m. Meanwhile, my reality? A pile of laundry I keep pretending doesn’t exist, a kitchen sink that somehow keeps filling up with dirty dishes (because kids apparently need a new cup every time they take a drink), and a dog who has declared war on the wind.
It’s easy to feel like we’re falling short, like we’re the only ones struggling, the only ones who don’t have a perfectly curated life. But the truth? Nobody has it all together. Not one of us.
That’s why I love 2 Corinthians 12:9—“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’”
God never asked for perfection. He asked for honesty. For real, messy, authentic faith.
So if your life feels chaotic, you’re in good company. If your house is loud, your laundry is piled up, your kitchen sink is never empty, and your dog barks at absolutely nothing, welcome to the real world. And guess what? God is just as present in the mess as He is in the quiet.
So let’s be real, lean on His grace, and maybe embrace the chaos a little. Because this, my friends, is life—and it’s a gift.
