Uncommon Faith

 

 

It's been a hard week. I don't think I've slept very much. You know those times where you figure out what you are made out of. A test of putting your money where your mouth is. An opportunity to live out the words you have been saying. The words you say out loud to yourself and to the world. 

The truth is here we are again. Here we are faced with another difficult thing. Things that don't feel fair, things that make you feel angry. 

Here's the thing. 

You are allowed to be angry. You are allowed to cry. You are allowed to be scared. 

As long as at the end of the day you get back up. 

You pull yourself back up from the floor that you've been crying on.

You tell yourself "God I trust in you. Even when I feel like this, I trust in you!

I'm sorry to be vague. But so much is going through my head right now. So many different emotions. 

I will just leave you with this verse

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep in perfect peace
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust in you.

 

Miss those lazy days

I wanted to get this post out but I am busy getting some work done. You know how it goes "adulting" on the weekends. I miss those days where work wasn't on my mind all the time. Or I didn't organize my schedule correctly and I am playing catch up. Or I plan too many social gatherings on the weekdays. 

While I go figure that out! 

Check this Saturday outfit out.

Hope you are relaxing on this lovely holiday weekend. Pray for me that I get all my stuff done so I can go be a kid with my kids.

 

Valentines Day

 

It's been a minute. February is halfway through and It just keeps getting busier. I just wanted to do a quick post for Valentines Day to remind you that you are loved! Whether you are in a relationship or not. You are loved!! 

I just hope that you be encouraged today, that you find the joy in whatever you are doing. Life is too short to be negative all the time. Find something to make you smile today. Or be the reason someone else is smiling today. 

Cheers!

Mindful Grounding {Mental Health check-in}

 I know life can feel overwhelming.... again. Now that we are back full force into life and busyness. Especially with the new year getting those goals crushed etc. Sometimes it can tend to feel like like a lot. I know I promised myself that I would lessen up. But I am still adding to my plate. I am not getting ahead of schedule. I wish time would slow down. Maybe, even that I work faster, or not need as much rest. But I guess that is the point. So, here I am being super transparent that I am still struggling with this myself. 

It's hard to have big dreams, and big goals. I know last time I talked about making lists etc. But my list keeps getting bigger and bigger. My ideas are flowing now and they won't let me sleep. 

With that said I have really appreciated this advice that was given to me several months ago. 

MINDFUL GROUNDING

5 things you see

4 things you hear

3 things you can touch

2 things you can smell 

1 thing to taste.

1,3,10 Rule:

Think of  one word

3 deep breaths

Count to ten. 

These are great things for when you are stressed or feeling overwhelmed. Take a minute to do these things and then get back at it. 

Hope this helps you as well.
