Hi Friend!

I'm so excited that you've found my little corner of the interwebs! I hope you will find encouragement, hope and joy here. My strongest desire is for us to find our meaning, joy and purpose together. I don't know about you, but mine is wrapped up in a bunch of chaos and crazy (a lot of my own making!) and most days, I wouldn't have it any other way! Read More…

I have been reading Psalm 30 over and over the last few weeks.

It is a beautiful reminder to me of God’s unbelievable grace.

My boy is home!!!!!! I’m so happy he’s back on US soil and we have him home for the next week!

I have a secret to share with you….
I have been having a lot of fun the last few weeks, and not sharing it with you!

My main reason is as I am focusing on ‘being where my feet are’ and being more present in my everyday life, I have been so focused on what I’m losing and who I’m with, I haven’t been in content creator mode.

Instead, I’ve been ‘treasuring these things in my heart’, like Mary did often in Jesus’ early life.

It’s ok if you don’t want to share online what’s going on in your life, and it’s totally ok if you do!

What I want to remind you is that you need to make sure that you are not comparing someone else’s ‘highlight reel’ to your everyday life.

The enemy would love you to do that. To think that someone is better than you. Has a better life than you.
Chances are, they have some filters and aim their camera so you don’t see their laundry piles, messy counters or dirty floors!

Friend, your life is important! How you choose to focus your time, talents and attention are your choices and yours alone.

Drop a ❤️if you needed this reminder today! And if you know a friend who could use this reminder, please tag them or share this to your stories!

God, please bless America. It is the land I love.

God, please bless America.
It is the land I love.
God, please stand beside her,
and guide her,
through the night,
with Your light from above.

Join in for this week’s MidWeek Pep Talk!

This week I’m sharing a short reminder about why we need to ignore labels…all because of the ‘pajama’ shirt I’m wearing.

The enemy would love to place labels on you that hold you back, limit you, lie to you about who you are.

But because of Jesus, you have labels that bring life, meaning, purpose and joy:

You are loved.
You matter.
You are beautiful.
You are important.
You have purpose.
Your life has meaning.

Listen in for more and please tag a friend that need to be reminded of this important message!

Don't hate me...but Christmas is 6 months away!

It doesn't seem possible, does it?

You have a choice...you can wait until the last minute and be crazy stressed in the weeks leading up to Christmas, or you can do some things ahead to make your Christmas season easier and more joyful!

What can you do this week to make your Christmas season easier?

What can you do this month to make Christmas less chaotic?

I updated my Christmas card list this week (maybe it was for wedding invitations...but it's still done and helpful for Christmas cards too! 😉)

This month I will look over my gift list of gifts I've already purchased (yes...I buy gifts all year long so I don't have to panic buy in December) so I know what else I need to purchase for my loved ones.

It doesn't have to be hard, but each small task you do now will save you precious time in December!

Mama, I know that the days are long and they years

Mama, I know that the days are long and they years are short.

I have experienced it for myself, and some days are just grueling. Some days are too short.

Some days bedtime can't come soon enough. The kids and yours.

Some days you wish you could have a do over.

And some days are magical.

Whether they are long and hard, or preciously memorable, I am here cheering you on!

You matter. Motherhood matters. Your ministry to your children and your family matters.

Don't forget it. And if you need a reminder, send me a DM and I'll remind you just how important everything you do is.

I'd love to know...what is your biggest struggle in motherhood?

Leave a comment ⬇️ or send me a DM. I want to be able to help encourage you more!
