Small acts of obedience can add up to something great.

I try to remind myself of these things when I get overwhelmed.

God isn’t asking you do change the world overnight.
He isn’t asking you to change the world at all (because he already did that!).

God is asking you for small acts of obedience.
If you keep taking small steps, you will see His glory all over the place.

Mama milestones come at you fast. Last night thi

Mama milestones come at you fast.

Last night this little dude decided he would sleep in his big kid bed and a so don his crib.

After talking about it in my stories, so many moms were in my dms sharing the same feeling about “the last time” your kid does something.

It’s exciting to see them grow and at the same time sad to know that you are leaving a phase behind for good.

This is another reason why I am so passionate about teaching women to be good stewards of their time.

As we leave behind each of these little phases, don’t we want to feel like we have soaked up every moment we were able to?

My recommendation for a starting point is to write down what you most enjoy and what you would prioritize in an ideal world.

After that, I am happy to work with you 1:1 to teach you how to make that a reality!

Mamas - what has been your favorite milestone with your kids?

Which one speaks to you most today?

I am trying to slow down and focus on one thing at a time instead of 15.
You make more progress when your attention isn’t divided and you can really focus on finishing what you start!

I talked with a guy at work a few weeks ago who was an army vet.

He said he enlisted on September 10, 2001.

He didn’t go to serve knowing that a war would begin only 24 hours later. He said he wanted to serve our country and didn’t realize how much he’d be needed.

Life can change in an instant.

We spent some time last night talking to our kids about 9/11. Kinsley asked a lot of questions. I want her to know who was responsible and that there are evil people.
But we spent more time talking about the first responders, the stories of people who gave their lives to stop the 4th plane. The people who enlisted to serve after watching the attack.

I want her to know more about the heroes.

For me - it is knowing that it is ok to start small. Starting new routines or habits doesn’t happen overnight and when we try to add on too much all at once, it is likely that we will get overwhelmed or burnout faster.

Thoughts?

Christians - I see so many of you falling into this trap.
The us or them. This cause or that cause.

The world desperately wants you to feel like there are only two sides and that that the group opposing you is less than and not worthy of your respect.
But if you are a Christian, that is not how we are called to view things.

Stop allowing yourself be forced to choose between things that don’t have to be either/or.

Stop living on autopilot. You have the opportuni

Stop living on autopilot.

You have the opportunity to live each day to the fullest. But many of us just keep living our days too busy or too numb to find the joy.

I encourage you to start taking small steps to fill your days with more joy. Making new habits and rhythms doesn’t happen overnight. It happens in small changes that you implement with intention.

September is basically the January of the fall, so why not start now?

What are you looking forward to this month?

Where is your head at this Monday?

I’m in a bit of a funk and when that happens I like to do a few thing:

1. Workout and blast worship music.

2. Text with a few friends and ask for encouragement.

3. Have a dance party during breakfast with my kids.

What do you do to cheer yourself up?
