Life is a Paradox: Hard AND Beautiful
Just a warning… this is pretty long. I started this post a week ago and just had the mental energy to pick it back up. These past few weeks have been hard and honestly just plain weird. I know I said that last time I wrote, but it continued. We have had a lot of…

Acceptance
I feel like I’m coming into a new phase of life. The past few days during my prayer journaling, I have just felt God’s presence and peace in new ways. I shared these things on Facebook, but I’m going to expand on them here. I’m learning that it’s okay to have less active seasons. It’s…

Living a Life of Peace
These past few days have been PACKED with wisdom from God and just good things. I want to tell about it all, so this will be long. I apologize in advance, but I feel like most of it fits together! How to Live a Life of Peace God’s wisdom is so clear in the words…

Slowing Down, Savoring, and Prioritizing
I am a human being, not a human doing. I’ve heard this many times lately, and it’s slowly sticking. Exhaustion is a reminder that always going and seeking perfection isn’t what we have been called to. Trusting God is the ultimate way to receive peace. Loosening my grip on things that I can’t control is…

Control: Surrender and Letting Go
I’ve had a lot on my mind. I’m going to share a bit of it, but I’m still processing some things. Jesus and I had a good talk this morning. I shared with him how I’m burned out from trying to control things all the time. I shared with Him about what I’ve been trying…

Our Limits Tell Us Important Things About Ourselves

“Cease Striving” + Simplifying & Letting Go Even More
I had an appointment with my psychiatric nurse practitioner/therapist today which was so helpful. I’ve struggled off and on all summer. I will feel better, then the anxiety and depression will hit out of nowhere. Life is so good right now. I feel like I’ve hit a “sweet spot” through the decisions that I’ve made…

4 Mile Race and General Wellness
Challenge and Joy My brain has been struggling a bit more lately, but I will always have days and weeks of anxiety (and sometimes depression). It’s just how my brain is. But I KNOW how to take care of myself now. I haven’t been working out as much or eating quite as well lately, but…

What I’ve Been Up To
I have been so busy in all the good ways. I have had much more focus the past couple of weeks. I’ve done a lot of work on our yard (front and back), but we still have SO much work to do. I’m here for it, though! Building Up My Homestead (since we moved) I…

Upcoming Plans and Prep
I was looking through some old pictures the other day, and I realized that I missed doing some things that brought me joy! Now that we are more settled into Colorado, I’m feeling like I can start doing some things that I used to do… NOT because I feel like I have to, but because…
