So… This is the very beginning of a new segment of life… I’m hoping you’ll travel with me through whatever life holds… This, my friends, is my very first blog post … the very first of “I am Linds Davis”. This is going to be fun… 🙂

I don’t pretend to know everything about education in Oklahoma. What I do know, I’ve learned from my new friends at Sequoyah Middle School. I’m so thankful for this experience. Happy to stand with my school and our kids for better funding and change in the state of Oklahoma. #FundOKeducation #SupportTeachers #oklahoma

::friends are friends forever:: definitely the definition of this relationship with @mackenzieborden. ❤️

::LONG POST ALERT!::Yesterday was a tough day for some of my middle schoolers. Some of my girls especially. One kiddo came in my office and very quietly said someone told her she was fat and ugly. Another girl was embarrassed that a picture turned up of her elementary school days and “that’s not how I want people to see me”. I started thinking about one of my counseling classes on coping skills. One of the things my professor stated was the importance of retraining our minds to believe truth over the lies. All afternoon I was torn up. How could these sweet girls believe such lies? How could there be some girls who already knew such pettiness to spread it? So, enter “I Am” statements. As I sat with one girl and spoke truth to her, her face changed. I asked her if she knew her I Am statements. She looked at me puzzled, and asked what that meant. I told her when people say things that aren’t what we believe to be true about ourselves, it’s our job to change that negative statement to a positive. I challenged her in that moment to tell me how she would change the statement of “you’re fat”. She brightened up and said “I am pretty! I am fun and nice and happy. Right, Ms. Davis?” If the only reason I’m here is to help these beautiful, middle school girls learn who they really are, that’s enough. So, women, it’s #internationalwomensday. I challenge you to figure out your I Am statements and recite them over and over. We’ve got young girls watching us. They’re watching to see how we handle ourselves. Time to change the lies we’ve heard/believed to what we know is true. #thisishowwesms #middleschool #schoolcounselor #selfworth #selfesteem #iam

I still am in awe I get to wake up everyday and come to a school where I get to help middle schoolers and work with the nicest educators and administrators I know. I walked outside my office and some sweet kiddos left this for me. Happy School Counselors Week to all my fellow school counselor friends! We have the best job in the world! #sequoyahmiddleschool #brokenarrow #schoolcounselorweek #iLOVETHESENERDS

ITS MY ORIGINAL ROOMS AND TWIN’S BIRTHDAY!!!! @knrains is someone I sincerely was praying I would meet when I moved to Norman for grad school. I knew no one and was looking for a soul mate kind of friend if you will. So thankful I took diagnosis with Dr Davidson that fall semester. So glad I sat next to you in the back of the class and that we happened to make the same sarcastic comments under our breath every time that one girl who thought she knew everything spoke. So happy it’s your day, Kris! So sad I can’t be adventuring with you on your birthday, but just pretend I’m there with you! L O L ! Here’s to you. 2018 is your year. So much restoration and peace will follow you. So much joy and grace will surround you. God’s got you girl! 😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘 #ROOMS #birthday #bff #adventures #TWINS

#thebestnine #bye2017 #hello2018 I love the holiday season. Spent so much time with my boyfriend and our families and I couldn’t be happier. I’m so thankful for what 2017 brought. I’m more expectant than ever for 2018 and believing that God has even greater things in store. My verse I’m clinging to for 2018 is the verse my friend @megschaef prayed over me at my birthday dinner — Psalm 65:11 “You crown the year with goodness...” 2017 wasn’t always easy, but God’s hand was in it. It brought me back home to Tulsa, I met wonderful friends and connected with old ones, I met my boyfriend, and so much more... needless to say, I have big expectations for you, 2018. Let’s do it ❤️

Game day with @andrewseth. #boomer

*LONG SISTER POST YET AGAIN* Hailey: origin meaning the one who clears hay (this may seem boring, but if you know Hails, she is someone who goes in and clears stuff out... so it’s not boring anymore 🙂); in Scandinavian, Hailey means heroine, or the one who champions others... • I can’t think of a better definition of my baby sister, the one who completes the Davis sister trifecta. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I won the sibling lottery. @jessicalo09 and i would not be us without the round headed, perfectly eyebrowed, brown haired, brown eyed baby sister that is @hailey_bop. Hails, I’m sorry I’m not there right now, but girl... WE PARTYIN TOMORROW! Happy 21st birthday, babydoll. This year... will top the last and set you up for even more greatness to come. LOVE YOU and CAN’T WAIT TO BE YOUR CHEERLEADER! 🖤🎉🙌🏼😘 #sisters #babysis #davisbabythree #family #birthdaygirl

Epic couple days off... 1. Met @johnnyswim and @amandasudanoramirez. Pretty sure I just stared at them and hugged them so tight. 2. Shopped Dallas with the best girls. Helped @jessicalo09 find her NYE dress at North Park 😂 3. Took boyfriend to OKC/Norman for some fun! 4. REUNITED WITH MY TWIN @knrains 🤗 5. Went home to @antiochnorman. Saw my pastors @cbennett937 and @juliebennett_... 6. Ended the adventure at @wheelerwheelokc with boyfriend. Life is good, y’all. #vacation #timeaway #recharge #refocus #regroup #home #adventures #ONEMOREDAYOFF

• “I turn on my computer. I wait impatiently as it connects. I go online, and my breath catches in my chest until I hear three little words: You've got mail. I hear nothing. Not even a sound on the streets of New York, just the beating of my own heart. I have mail. From you”... • I think every girl wishes for a story like Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox from You’ve Got Mail. What started out two months ago as just emails to catch up with one another, turned into dating. To think I’d known Seth for YEARS and we had some of the same friends but never knew each other is mind blowing. I’m so glad he sent that first message and will always be so happy about it. I’m so glad I didn’t change my standards to fit what I was seeing (or not seeing if y’all know what I mean). I’m so thankful I held onto hope (even though it was probably just a thread at this point) and believed that no matter what happened, as long as I had Jesus, I had everything I needed. Interesting how as I went deeper with Jesus, Seth “appeared”. So here’s the deal girls and boys, you want to hold out for the best. Sure, no one is perfect and mistakes will be made because that’s dating. But DO NOT compromise the big things. Make a list. Write out everything you could possibly want in someone...and trust me, throw in some “oh, there’s no way God can provide this” wants. Watch the Lord work. This is the post that I think I’ve waited ages to post... y’all, I have a boyfriend! I don’t know what I did to deserve someone so kind, generous, giving, hilarious... the list goes on and on. @andrewseth, you’re one in a million...thank you for sending that first email... so so SOOOOOOOOOO glad you did! • #dating #boyfriend #WHATISEVENHAPPENING #omg #ISTHISREALLIFE #sethandlinds

When @_brittneyraezickefoose_ says she has extra VIP passes to Oktoberfest and you know @jessicalo09 and @lisa_reichardt are volunteering, YOU GO! Oktoberfest is my favorite. ...actually, October is my favorite. It’s fall and these girls in the picture... the best girls I could ever ask for. 😍 oh, and the guy taking the picture ain’t so bad either 😘 📸: @andrewseth #oktoberfest2017 #lindeoktoberfesttulsa #VIP #treatyoself #allthebeeryouwant #RAISEYOURSTEIN #oyoyoy

•L O N G P O S T A L E R T • —�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�— Jessica: Hebrew; foresight, “being able to see POTENTIAL in the future”. —�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�— Talk about someone living up to their name! I can’t think of a better description of a person. Jessica is a walking billboard for hope and potential and seeing value beyond the surface in people. I was four when I met this person. I didn’t know anything about her or what I was ultimately getting into. I’ve watched this person grow and evolve into this amazing human being who serves her community day in and day out as a nurse and an advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves. I didn’t know the determination as a kid when we would play doctor or nurse that she would actually grow up and do it! I didn’t know the times she would be so physically tough when we would wrestle (let’s be real, we would basically try to wrestle without our Dad there and it all went to hell) that that would be an indicator of the physical strength this girl would possess as an adult. I didn’t know when she was smaller than me that she would actually grow to be maybe an inch or two taller and walk with her head held high with a bright smile on her face no matter what her day looked like. I’ve never met someone with such determination to see brightness in the future of people. I’ve never met someone so freaking inspiring it makes my head spin with happiness knowing I’m related to her! Jess, Happy 27th babe. 27 was one of my favorite growth years. And the majority of my learning came from you. It’s an honor to be your sister and I love seeing you grow and flourish in all you’re doing. This year is going to be full of you receiving the words you have been giving out to people-words of potential, foresight, focus on the brightness of your future, and words coming to pass. Love ya Jays, my original ride or die. I hope this day is everything you wanted and more! 💕 #birthdays #davisfam #JESSICALAUREN #twentyseven #sisters

Y'all. I can't even. I LOVE HIM. SO SO MUCH. HAPPY RUSS SIGNS FOR FIVE YEARS ON KD'S BIRTHDAY DAY!!!!! #RUSS #WHYNOT #OKC #BESTINTHEWEST #HOLYCRAP #HEDONEDIDIT

Hey Norman, I love you. Always have. Always will. #boomsoon #davisfam #ougrad #football #planttheflag #shakenbake #bigxii #byetulane

I've always prayed my sisters would have amazing friends, and, I've always secretly wished I could be friends and a big sister (if they needed it) to them too. Thankful for @nic.alley. She's always been there for @jessicalo09 and has been someone I've loved being there to watch grow up and laugh with! Celebrating her birthday today because yours truly forgot her gift the day of her actual day and then also on her party night. 🤦🏼‍♀️ HERES TO YOU NICOLE! The best year is ahead of you! 💕🎉👏🏼 love you and can't wait to cheer you on! #ILOVECELEBRATING #PARTYON #ALLMONTHLONG #YAY #BRUNCH #TREATYOSELF

#roommates #fromDarnabytoYale #thestreetnottheschool #deskmates #davigals From elementary school to now... thankful for this gal. @ashdeedavidson so happy you texted me a couple months ago saying it was dumb we were living in one room apartments wasting money when we could have a shared space and save money. 🤣💕🎉 so far we've made it through two of the busiest weeks both of us have ever had. The best apartment in all the land... 💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕

#GutsGirls #BRUNCH #DISNEY #GOBIGORGOHOME #ImissDisneyWorld Y'all. If you're in Tulsa and need a church, GET YOURSELF TO #GUTS! I've loved being a part of a church that helps people win. Being connected to a place in Tulsa that has the same heartbeat I have for serving others is a dream. Loved being in Disney today! 💕🙌🏼🍿🍦🍴🏰🎉

#bye1134 #hello1111 #moving #ADULTING I'm not going to pretend that I liked or enjoyed this week. It was long. It was hard. It was more than I bargained for. I've moved on my own before and things were fine. This week I was the main supervisor for the best program at #YVOK. I was also silently freaking out because my idea of moving was not a possibility. I'm so thankful for my parents, Joe and Barb, who recognized my cry for help. Thankful for @hailey_bop and #AARon for showing up and moving my bed with me when I was about to lose my mind from no sleep for three days. I'm also thankful for Jesus. Because even when my mind won't shut off, he's there, calming my nerves, smoothing out any doubt I may have and replacing it with truth, and he's crowned everything I do with his goodness and grace. And shoutout to my roommate @ashdeedavidson for being the best encourager and champion when I was starting to lose it. To be reunited with one of my childhood best friends is a dream. So, you know what, y'all? 31 is going to be freaking amazing. ❤️🎈🙌🏼😌🤗

You know that moment when you reconnect with a kid from one of your camp leader days and you just feel so proud of all they've become!? That's Marissa. I met Marissa at Worship Leaders Camp and instantly felt connected to her. Her heart for worship and people was infectious and she inspired me to go deeper! Now, seven years later, she drove me around Memphis, hung out with me at dinner and took me for popsicles at La Michoacana. Such a fun night! Love you Marissa and so proud of all you're doing to serve people! ❤️🎉💕😘 here's to more Memphis adventures in the future! 🤗
