It's been quite a while! Life is busy, and sometimes (okay, let's be honest) ALL the time, I feel like I'm being pulled in all directions. Most days it seems like a never ending rotation of things to check off the list. Work✔, dinner ✔, playtime with toddler ✔, bath and bedtime✔, pick up the house a little bit ✔, study for cpa exam ✔. Before I know it, it's 12:30 AM and all my hopes of waking up early to get a bit of "me time" have gone out the window. . . . I want 2019 to be different. I want to limit distractions, I want to make more time for myself and my health, and most importantly, for my faith. #powersheets designed by Lara Casey (see my previous posts on her awesepm book, Cultivate) have been helping me this weekend to identify where I need to begin in order to be able to successfully meet this goal. . . . Part of that is chosing a "word of the year". I had been thinking of some throughout the week; peace, sacrafice, positivity... but when I sat down yesterday to write down my ideas, the first word that came to me was Practice. I thought that was interesting because what does that even mean?! It wasn't even on my radar of words for this task. I looked it up in the bible and found Phillipians 4:9, " What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." How amazing is that? We need to be practicing the faith daily, even doing something when we feel like doing nothing. But it also means practicing small actions daily to lead us to success. Practice focus, practice giving up distractions, practice healthy self-talk, practice making good food choices, practice positivity. All I need is that little card as a reminder to practice making small choices daily that will eventually measure up to meeting and exceeding my goal. I hope 2019 is good to you all! . . . . #newyears #2019 #newyearsresolutions #goals #success #faith #inspiration #inspire #worksmart #workhard #powersheets #laracasey #cultivate #setgoals

This Advent season has flown by, and while I’d like to say I kept up with my Advent journal, I was just too busy some days. I forget too often how powerful God is but I recognize how he has been there to meet me during my sporadic prayers this Advent. It’s in the small moments of peace and stillness where He meets me and listens to me spill my heart out, and it’s in the busy hustle and bustle distracting and loud world that I see His work in my life. I see how He sends me answers and I feel the peace I have been given by him. I was really struggling this month with so many issues and today, I feel so full of joy and gratitude for the wonderful Lord and his love. I can’t wait to celebrate the wonderful birth of our Lord with my family as we are reminded just how much He loves us. #advent #christmas #catholic #manger #nativity #womenoffaith #bissisterhood #holidays #family #blessed

Happy Saturday! Just received some goodies from @beaconpublishingbooks ! I Cant wait to dig into each of them and let you know what I think. Matthew Kelly is a writer I was introduced to through my small group book study of Rediscover Jesus. The book brought me into a deeper relationship with Christ in a practical way that was easy to read, and I am so thankful to have read it. I'm also especially excited to read Praying With a Pen because of my own prayer journaling journey. #prayer #prayerjournal #pray #jesus #christfollower #catholic #books #reading #saturday #catholocism #blogger #christian #christianbooks #christianwomen #christianblogger #catholicblogger #rcia #bissisterhood

Spending some time this Sunday answering tough questions from Cultivate. It's amazing how this book digs deep into my life and pulls up weeds I never knew I had, revealing beautiful seeds that I need to nourish and cultivate. . . . . #sunday #book #booklist #bookclub #cultivate #cultivatewhatmatters #sunshine #weekend #darling #blogger #christian #catholic #faith #womenoffaith #bookrecommendations

"Satan will make you think you're not good enough for God in hopes to keep you away from Him, but call on Jesus and he will bring you to the other side even more open and connected than before." .
