The sum of all my love…
You are worthy
Most worthy”

We need a different narrative, a shift in our perspective of motherhood.
“Many of our taglines overemphasize the pain of motherhood to the exclusion of the delight.”
And this just might change everything.

How to Not Waste Your One Life, But Make the Most of the Time You’ve Got Right Now: Do This (Part 2)

None of us want to waste our time. We all want to live with deep intention. But how do we really do that?

And we’ve had more than our fair share of life milestones this past month and I can’t stop revisiting this time last summer when words on a faraway mountainside gravestone marked me deeply. And this… this is how to really live:

How to Not Waste Your One Life, But Make the Most of the Time You’ve Got Right Now: Do This

Glory, glory, glory! This is just what my soul needed…

This song on repeat — He is more than able
“You are more than able
You are more than able
Who am I to deny what the Lord can do
Can you imagine with all of the faith in the room
What the Lord can do?”

[from our Facebook community – join us?]

…just for today — DO. NOT. WORRY.

“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” Matt6:34 MSG

Just for today: Be a prayer warrior—not a panicked worrier.

Worry is just the facade of taking action — when prayer really is.

That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
