Oldie but a goodie! Having a #piano in the house again has felt so good and centering. Playing felt awkward at first but those chord positions are slowly coming back - muscle memory is amazing! Now if only the classical piano skills would come back that easily! These 2 #worshipsongs are a little older, but I felt so happy and nostalgic playing them recently! What is one activity you do that centres and calms your spirit?
Ummm ..Ooops? Does anyone else write reminders on their hand and then forget to look at said reminder? Guilty over here! 🙆 Didn't remember this one until I left work, walked 5 minutes to my car, and grabbed the steering wheel.😨 That's how my week is going. How about yours?
Your Saturday reminder that you CAN rise from whatever you have faced this week. An outcome does not make you a #failure. Dust off, grab onto God, recalculate and leap again.
Long weekends. *Sigh* After hardly any time off since we got home form vacay, tomorrow I get to do whatever I want whenever I want! Which really just means adulting around the house since most of my to-do lists have been severely ignored for a month! Still. Long weekends. *Sigh*😌 What are you up to?
Thanks @alivechurchnewmarket Barrie for the new journal 😊. Our church took time this morning to not only celebrate mothers but also the rest of us women - the ones who are yet to have children of our own. I must say, at first I felt so uncomfortable standing and receiving attention; to hear the men, our men, cheer for us. I didn't feel deserving... I almost felt fraudulent! But I love what our pastors said; what I was reminded of. Us childless woman care for our family and community too. We show up, we sacrifice, we provide, we bring honour to our home, we love and do it whole heartedly. And IT IS just right to acknowledge and celebrate that. Not having physical children, be it by choice or loss, does not demote us. It does however make us more rested 😂, but that's not our focus today. To the WOMEN who have birthed, have said goodbye to a child, and those who have said goodbye to their own moms, a most tender and grateful Happy Mother's Day to you. And to you, the women that have miscarried, fostered, raised spiritual children, that face infertility, are on the road of fertility treatments, the #stepmom, the #funaunt, the #caregiver, the leader, the friend, to you I also wish your loving heart a Happy Mother's Day. 🌹💐
Today's sunshine was so incredibly welcomed ... once I left work 😆. It reminded me of our summer-like walk along the Seine River. I cannot believe it has been two weeks already! Paris was our least favourite city, but the tan it gave us was a win. ☀
For the last 10 days I have been receiving #heartbreaking news from friends, family, and coworkers. It has felt emotionally breaking, mostly because I (the girl that wants to fix things) cannot change any of the circumstances, they all NEED God. And half of the individuals in need of Him don't know Him. It has me feleing uncomfortable - spiritually that is, and I have reached a breaking point in my spiritual #complacency. In a world easily offended, where should #Christians stand in presenting a religion that is said "to offend"? If you don't usually read my blog, this is me encouraging you to take a quick read through my last post. It's a thinker. Link in bio.
We have spent the last few days trotting around Dublin, the coast of Northern Ireland, and London! Spring is definitely in bloom over here.😊 Off to Paris for the day tomorrow and then Scotland till the weekend! What are some places you like to/would like to visit to break away from your day-to-day routine?
Is "messy hair, don't care" still a thing? Five hours of teaching #aquafit and 3 liters of water later ... Bu-bye, Wednesday! Is it bedtime yet? 😴 What were you up to this windy Wednesday? AND how much water have you drank?💧
It has officially been 1 year since we moved in and began our home renovations! What?! Hours upon hours of help from friends and family, late night calls for a basement flood, contractor calls about our ceiling cracking... There were tears, there were fights, there were celebrations, there were days when we asked ourselves "What have we gotten into?!" but that was usually followed by "the end result is going to be so worth it, keep going!". And that is true about so much of life. It's hard, it challenges us, it throws curveballs, we overcome, some days we break down, but we keep going with the help of those around us until we get to those "this is why we do it!" moments. Wherever you find yourself today, remember that ups and downs is what life is all about; if we flat line we stop living. Stop and celebrate the small things, don't sweat the curveballs, and keep marching forward with appreciation. 🌞
Jim Rohn once said "you are the average of the 5 people you spend most of your time with". I could not agree more. I have had seasons in life where that meant I kept chasing material things and the social mould presented to me, and seasons where it has meant learning vulnerability and being motivated to pursue the good and meaningful things in life. This week's devotional (up on YouTube!) is all about the company we keep. If you have not gone for a listen, grab a journal and take 7 minutes out of your afternoon to reflect with me! You know where the link is 🎥
I absolutely LOVE our town and all of its farm views! 🚜This morning the trees in our area were covered in icicles that glistened as the sun was rising. ❄😍 I couldn't help but pull over to admire a few times.
