February 08, 2023 Ep. 4- How to have a Quiet Time with God
Have you ever wanted to spend time with God but just need some direction on where to start or need some new and fresh ideas to connect with God? Are you a busy mom or working woman (maybe both), and you just feel frustrated because you don't have a ton of time to spend with Jesus but you want to?
Then today’s episode is for you! Today I am going to be sharing with you how I have been doing my quiet time for years now using what I call the GRACE method for journaling and time in the Bible. The best news is that this can take you 5 minutes or 40 minutes depending on what you have time for!
{For more details on what Bible version to use and other devotional tools that I use to aid in my quiet times, please head to my LIVE video on @thegracefilledlife on Instagram}
The GRACE method
G: Greet and Gratitude
R: Read Scripture
A: Ask God (Pray for others and yourself)
C: Connect and Confess (Connect scripture you read and confess anything before the Lord)
E: Expect God to Show up!!!
If you need prayer or ideas for getting into scripture, please email me at thegracefilledlifepodcast.com and my team and I would love to pray for you.
Don't know where to start?
-Try starting with the book of JOHN. It's a Gospel in the New Testament of your Bible...about 3/4 of the way into your Bible! Read a few verses at at time or a chapter at a time! Up to you!
-Try starting with a Psalm a day! It's smack dab in the middle of your Bible.

February 01, 2023 Ep. 3 - What's so important about having a "Quiet Time"?
One of the biggest questions I get BY FAR on my social media is about my quiet time with God. "How do you do it?" "How do you keep on doing it consistently?" "What do you study?".
While all these questions are fantastic, I think if I start there we would be missing out on the WHY of it all. The reason why I've made this a habit in my life is not because I have to but because I was CREATED to need this time(and so are you!). You see, if we don't discover the WHY of why we do quiet time....we won't have any power to actually DO it long term as a habit.
This might be one of the most important episodes that I'll ever do because it explains most everything when it comes to knowing God and having a relationship! So whether you've NEVER had a quiet time before, have gotten away from it, or just need a refresher...this episode is for you! We've been plugging into the wrong power source, and we are going to talk about how quiet time is a solution to this problem.
This is part 1 of a podcast series that I am going to do on quiet time. Part 2 will talk about HOW to spend time with God. Part 3 will talk about HOW to make time with God a priority and a habit even when you are busy.
If you need prayer or have questions about this whole Jesus thing, I would love to pray for you. You can email me and my prayer team at [email protected]. You can also connect with me on social media on Instagram at @thegracefilledlife and @thegracefilledlifepodcast.
You are loved!

January 25, 2023 Ep. 2 - The Wanna Be Patient Mom
Do you wanna be more patient with your kids? Is patience something you never thought or even think now that you’d struggle with?
If you are anything like me, I used to think I was gifted with patience. Fast forward to 4 kids later, I’ve found patience isn’t something I can muster up on my own. Kids know how to push your buttons and somedays we just get triggered when things feel out of control.
There is grace and hope for when we blow it…and always opportunity for God to shine through the moments we feel bummed about. We may be “wanna be patient” moms, but we are moms who luckily have a very patient heavenly Father. Let’s talk about what to do when we lose our cool.
If you need prayer, please email me at [email protected], and my prayer team and I would love to lift you up in prayer.
Key Verses:

"So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!" Romans 7:21-25

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:13
