God gives me incredible peace because I spend time in His Word and in prayer every day. Knowing that He guides my every step is a huge comfort and reassurance when I don't know what's next in my life. However, sometimes I sit down and cannot focus my thoughts. I can barely even pray! My mind is overactive and I am distracted constantly. So frustrating - what to do?? Don't write today off as "too busy"... if I do that I know exactly what will CONTINUE to happen. I beg God daily that He shows me how much I need Him and even humbles me to the point that I hold on even tighter.

Do you need a better daily plan? Is life just happening to you over and over again and every morning you are just not prepared?? Well, try a few of these things out and see what happens. They are working for me so that's testimonial #1! Let's have a GREAT day!

Guess what genre I'm into these days! Ghost stories! By chance I picked up a paperback and I'm hooked. Let me tell you all about the book I snagged around Halloween and all the others I've got lined up next!

I put my ebay sales on a brief hold while we moved, but we are back up and running and I have more tips to share! Sometimes you have to take a tough loss and just appreciate the information you now have and the lesson you learned! It's okay! Negative feedback isn't the end! (Thank you, unreasonable buyer!!) And sometimes you take a hit because the item just didn't make the trip intact. (Thank you for your courteous message and pictures, reasonable buyer!!) I am still very much enjoying ecommerce and plan to continue! I have more sales strategies swirling around in my brain!!! So, what I'm saying is that you better stick around for that. :)

My Bible reading and prayer time has evolved over the years, and I think it is so important to make that time with God happen even through life's various stages. Let me tell you about a few things that really got me in the habit several years back and what my daily routine looks like right now. I wanted to have a closer relationship with God as a teenager, but struggled to discipline myself about regularly reading anything, and I couldn't seem to become the "morning person" I thought I needed to be. Fast-forward "a few" years and I want to tell everyone that will listen 5how my life has been full of so much peace and joy as I am getting to know and trust the Lord just a little more every day!

This episode is all about moving out of our house, from getting recommendations from a professional about what our home needed to be market-ready, to finding (and dealing with) contractors, to getting ALL. THAT. STUFF. out of our house and garage without losing all our minds.

I'm back after a lengthy hiatus and am finally telling the story of how we decided it was time to move! What a crazy year from start to finish. Things started happening in January 2022 as we talked about adding onto our house. In December of 2022 we were moving to the next county. It's a pretty cool story, and every time I think the transition was hard and we are still settling, I look at the journey God took us on and am at complete peace. Trust Him.

This is the final take on my mental breakthrough while playing soccer this summer. But it's not just about soccer... a solution this effective could be applied more broadly and I am working on that for myself. After a recap on what's been going on I will also tell you what else I have seen that is very unhelpful to me when I am trying to show confidence and focus. It is all becoming very clear what I need and what I don't.

Look at me getting caught up and giving you all these ideas for dinners now that school has started! This is just what you need.
