Today is Good Friday. Today is the day that we focus on the crucifixion of Jesus. The day He chose, of His own will, to lay His life down in the most brutal way possible. The day He gave His very breath, His blood, and His most precious connection to His Father away for the sole purpose of loving and choosing eternity with us. It’s truly mind blowing, and every year I am challenged to try and comprehend what it is that He did for us on this day. The truth is, I will never be able to comprehend it. But, I can live every day in the freedom and love it has given me, and I can spend this day remembering why I live my life with hope and life and love.

How to Thrive in Social Isolation

Since the last time I was on here, our world has entirely changed in ways I never would have imagined. It’s crazy to think back on how different life was just a couple of months ago. I never in a million years thought we would be where we are today, but here we are. Learning how to cope with a global pandemic. Living our lives different than we ever thought we would be. Missing normal life. Missing being together.

Creating a Healthy Quiet Time

Hi again!! It’s me, coming at you with one of my all time favorite topics, and one that used to stress me out and intimidate me to no end. Having a good quiet time routine. The reason this topic used to stress me out is because I felt like there was all this weird pressure around having a quiet time. Like if I didn’t have it, or I didn’t have it right, if it wasn’t in the morning, or if I missed a day or a few days I wasn’t walking with Jesus and I was failing as a Christian.

Establishing a Healthy Morning Routine

I used to be the person who rolled out of bed 30-45 minutes before I had to leave the house, threw some makeup on, grabbed whatever food I could find, and ran out the door pretty much always 6-7 minutes late to wherever I was going. I know. It’s sad. But oh so much has changed since then. I started realizing, that with rushed and crazy mornings like that, I was starting my day already anxious and exhausted.

Weekly Round Up

Ok, honestly hour. You guys know I’m big on transparency over here so here we go. This week I had my first ever real deal Instagram hater. I’ve had weird spam accounts and nasty comments before, but this was just a regular person who had a real problem with me and my page. And here’s the deal, I always thought that when I got my first hater I wouldn’t care, I’d brush it off and move on because I do have pretty thick skin and I’m pretty strong. But the messages came at the worst possible time.

Weekly Round Up

It has been such an incredible little journey of documenting the days and really choosing to focus on what God is speaking and showing us every single day. It has really challenged me to not just go through the motions but to allow Him to use all the ordinary parts of the day to shape me into who He wants me to be. And my hope is that the entries are relatable and encourage you to see Jesus in your every day as well.

Courage

I never come up with a list of New Year’s resolutions. I honestly don’t really believe in them. I am one of those people that doesn’t set a date on resolutions. If there is something on my heart to change about my life, I don’t want to wait a month to change it. I want to change it now, walk into whatever the Lord has for me right away instead of holding on to old and more comfortable habits for longer.

December Favorites

This season was a big old mixture of really sweet and really hard for me. And I know it probably was for most other people. Christmas always seems to be filled with all sorts of joy and all sorts of hardship mixed together.
