How is it that Christmas has already come and gone?! Christmas was yesterday, and it was such a beautiful day! Both literally and figuratively. Like, it was actually 55 degrees outside in WISCONSIN (insert “shocked but thankful but kind of worried about global warming and altered seasons” emoji here). It’s been a whirlwind of aContinue reading “Christmas 2019 and Trusting His Truth”

Worthlessness, I Don’t Want to Forget You
There’s something I never want to forget. The more I reflect on my journey to happiness, my blog, and the impact I want to have on people whose paths cross mine, the more I hear the words in my head, “Don’t forget where you came from; don’t forget who you once were.” I feel tuggingContinue reading “Worthlessness, I Don’t Want to Forget You”
Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving
The day before yesterday was Thanksgiving, and while I initially planned on publishing this post then, I decided to spend Thanksgiving Day living fully in the moment and reflecting on everything I’m thankful for! In line with my morning journaling (check out “My Early Morning Routine” post from earlier this month!), I believe there isContinue reading “Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving”
Gratitude for Living the Life We Do
I have a question for you: Do you ever think about how blessed/lucky we are to live the way we do? Earlier this Fall, I drove past an older woman kneeling down in her yard pulling weeds from her flower beds. I looked up at the sky and thought about what a perfect day itContinue reading “Gratitude for Living the Life We Do”
My Early Morning Routine
I have a new morning routine, and it is AMAZING! No, stop. Stop right there. It’s actually incredible. I really mean these adjectives… so much. Anyone who knows me well knows two things about me: I love sleep, and I love food. For the point of this post, we’re going to focus on the former. (Dangit,Continue reading “My Early Morning Routine”
Twisted Up and Tangled
I just wanted to feel God, close and personal – too real to deny or doubt. I’d been battling my mind so much for weeks. I’d been anxious and far more negative than normal. I’d been believing the whispers Satan tells me: that I won’t be successful, that I’m not anything special, that I can’tContinue reading “Twisted Up and Tangled”
Ignoring the Rules
I’ve never considered myself a rule breaker, but when it comes to society’s rules for how to have a relationship with God and how to act in order to receive His love and blessings, I’m somewhat of a rebel! I like challenging the “rules” for what a Christian is. I require myself to be transparentContinue reading “Ignoring the Rules”
Pause and Pray
Lately I’ve been feeling off balance. I open my eyes to “snooze” my alarm, and a swirl of anxious and busy thoughts instantly bombard my consciousness. I feel a heavy burden and a worry at the start of my day, despite being well aware of how harmful that is to the joy I’ve fought hardContinue reading “Pause and Pray”
Death Comes Before Resurrection
Truth time! I can feel that it’s time for change in my life, but all of my efforts are leading to dead ends. I feel like I’m flailing, and now I’m yearning for the comfort I had. Even though I want to move on, I’m clinging to what I’ve known. Why? We are often afraidContinue reading “Death Comes Before Resurrection”
