It’s Just Who I Am

January 2025

Hi there and welcome to #Raising3Rushes (and sometimes a 4th) in a perfect sinful world! I am so excited you stopped by. I am Bethany but can sometimes be referred to as Mom, Babe, Honey, Momma, Mrs. Brush . . . the nicknames are limitless. And honestly, I adore them all. Mrs. Brush is a little less formal that Mrs. Rush and it really does fit me to a tee as I am a Registered Dental Hygienist by degree with a Masters in Management and Leadership.

I’m just your down to earth, homegrown Louisiana girl that lived a big Texas life from Fall 2011 to November 2019 and then moved to Virginia January 2020. My husband, Craig, and I married June 2006, after a year of knowing each other. When it’s meant to be, it’s just meant to be. Life was good but it was oh so boring. Boring because we attempted to do it all on our own! That is, until Jesus turned our world upside down!

Jesus is my Savior! He is my everything. Next comes my man Craig and then our 3 Rushes. Our 3E’s (yes I know, it’s corny and was not what we set out to do, but it happened)! All family names and classic ones at that. Elliott is our sports loving first born son, Evelyn is our girly basketball princess who loves her friends deeply, and Everett is our caboose fireball that thinks soccer and PlayStation are life!

Most of the time my filter is missing and my husband is a pastor! This makes for a fun and interesting combination. Stick around long enough and you will understand what that fully means! I am by no means an expert on much of anything, but I do strive to live a life on mission with God daily all while #raising3Rushes who are growing in their knowledge and love for the Lord. My hope is that you enjoy your time at #raising3rushes (andsometimesa4th) and that it brings you laughter, encouragement, and draws you a little bit closer to the creator of the universe! That you find nuggets of truth that can be easily added into your daily walks and maybe even used on the little people the Lord has entrusted to you. He loves you (and them) to infinity and beyond and truth is, we do live in a perfect sinful world!
