Just 3 days ago the Lord prompted me to awaken even earlier in the morning to spend time prayer journaling in the quiet with Him…and what He has already changed in me with just these last 3 morning has been…THE BEST FEELING! So much joy and delight have returned to my spirit.

I read my daily bible plan, I do scripture reading with my boys each morning — so I’m in my Word, but I want alone in the mystery with Him. I was resisting waking up even earlier. My mornings are already so full but last Sunday bedtime became and explosion of kids pushing boundaries so we set an alarm and every night last week at 8:45pm my boys stopped what they were doing to do a quick tidy, brush teeth, get water and head to bed. Another alarm went off at 9 and they had to be in bed. I res them a story and enjoyed some unrushed pillow talk about their day and was able to turn the laundry, close down the house and get myself in bed by 10.

Because the boys were always pushing bedtime later and later it was making my bedtime later and later.

The Lord is showing me SOOOO much about boundaries and routines! He is a God of ORDER after all! Structure, routines, and limits bless us so much! And while I used to think they were restrictive, He is showing me quite the opposite in this season of refinement!

I’m so excited to see what He has planned next! I literally feel like tomorrow is Christmas or something — it’s hard to explain! But I feel on the cusp of an exciting transition and it feels like JOY! It feels like FREEDOM!! And FUN!

I am currently prayer 2 HUGE and BOLD big prayers and believing Him for it and can’t wait to see Him move in me, in my husband and in my family!

If you’re not walking with the Lord, I can promise you, your life is a dull version of what it could be! Please DM me or let’s grab coffee or FaceTime! I would love to talk to you more about this! It’s truly the biggest game changer you can make in your life and in the life you are giving your family!!

The midlife crisis post none of us were expecting — even me 😂 Probably more to come as I turn 45 on Thursday…

After a very raw and unexpected (but God knew) discussion with my husband this morning , here’s where I’m at. Most people would think on it, deliberate with their teams on Monday, sleep on it — but not me. I’ve never operated that way.

I’m a ready, FIRE, aim kinda girl. Once I feel the call, I leap and God handles the rest. Moved to Argentina on a whim. Married my husband after a few months of dating. The list goes on. Just leap, the net will appear. Make a choice. Move into the consequences— good or bad. Life waits for no one. Himming and hawing never gets you anywhere but swirling in your own anxiety and surrendered to the devil, the author of chaos.

God is so good. That’s the summary. Thank you for being here!

Granville friends — you can officially grab your Above & Beyond Shop Elderberry Syrup right in the heart of Granville! 🤎

I stopped into Granville General Store to stock their refrigerator and give you a little tour, because this is exactly the kind of local business I want to see thrive.

Their philosophy is so aligned with ours: you don’t need more things — you need the right things. They’ve built the store around intentional, useful goods for the home, with an emphasis on quality, local sourcing, sustainability and reducing waste!

This sweet family owned store should become part of your weekly + monthly household rhythm.

🥖 Weekly: stop in for baked goods, local provisions and commissary items — and now, restock your elderberry while you’re there!!

🧴 Monthly: bring your containers back and replenish the things your household actually uses — laundry soap, shampoo, multi-surface cleaner and other clean home + body essentials from their Lowtox refillery. They even offer a drop-off refill option if you don’t have time to do it yourself!! How sweet is that?!

🥩 Then browse their locally sourced provisions, pantry and kitchen goods, bath + body, home + hearth, sustainable vintage and other thoughtfully chosen goods for your home.

This is what I want “shopping” to look (AND FEEL) like more often: buying fewer, better things, supporting local makers and businesses, and creating simple rhythms for keeping our homes stocked with things we actually feel good about using.

They’re at 134 N. Prospect Street in Granville, right across the street from Three Tigers Brewing — so make an afternoon of it!! And bring a friend along! 👯‍♀️

And I’m especially grateful that our locally grown + made elderberry now has a home in their refrigerator. 🫶🏻

Go visit, tell them I sent you, and start making Granville General part of your regular restocking rhythm. 🤎
