Hi! I'm Rachel, the writer behind Holistic Faith Lifestyle. I often find myself searching for ways to preserve presence of mind and impart some gentleness to the blink-and-you'll-miss-it pace of life. I love sharing ways I've found to tend the mind, body, spirit connection in a way that honors God and all that is divinely created. Read More

Tagging along on a work trip with my husband and b

Tagging along on a work trip with my husband and beyond stoked to have a WHOLE DAY in the hotel BY MYSELF tomorrow. My inner child says I need a session of jumping on the bed and falling into a pile of pillows. And once I satisfy that, I'm just going to be still and know. While I'm in this restorative mindset, can I say a prayer for you? Lay it on me.

Being intentional about joy in the little things &

Being intentional about joy in the little things & realizing,
1) It's not easy.
2) It doesn't have to come from the present moment.
3) Being joyful over little things in the past partnered with hope in Christ avoids the slippery slope of longing for the past. It's a ”things remembered are leading to more goodness, even if they're not currently seen” sort of hope.
⁣
”May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13
⁣
It all begins with and ends in hope!
⁣
This pic is from our late November trek into the woods to select a Jesse Tree. I thanked the tree for it's beauty and in came the 13 year old with the chainsaw. It was a joyous time of connection - with God, family, and creation. And I know there are loads of those days coming.
⁣
Merry Christmas, friends!

Christmas brings us countless reminders & opportun

Christmas brings us countless reminders & opportunities to seek sacred in the everyday.
⁣
In the songs, colors, and even the lists, there are glimpses of God’s character permeating all things.
⁣
Maybe seeking is the crux of Christmas joy as an adult. Eyes open, full of expectation, with ecstatic and repeated joy for each discovery.
⁣
Happy hunting!

Happy Gaudete Sunday! ⁣ It's our kickoff to JOY

Happy Gaudete Sunday!
⁣
It's our kickoff to JOY Week.
And it's the most elusive of Advent themes yet.
⁣
Because like Janie in ”Their Eyes Were Watching God”, we can starch and iron our face in stoic hope & peace.
⁣
But joy looks too bright. It clangs & peals offensively loud
⁣
And even still, JOY is ours. Jesus’s disruption made true joy, a strengthening heartsong kind of joy accessible then and now and always.
⁣
”The LORD is my strength and my song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.” Exodus 15:2

”I raise a hallelujah my weapon is a melody.
I raise a hallelujah with everything inside of me
I raise a hallelujah I will watch the darkness flee
I raise a hallelujah in the middle of the mystery
I raise a hallelujah fear you lost your hold on me.”
- Raise a Hallelujah, Bethel Music
⁣
May joy of the Lord strengthen you to shine and ring out in perfect pace & tone.

Be blessed!

A little verse dissection/chicken scratch for Psal

A little verse dissection/chicken scratch for Psalm 85:10, which we used this past week in our Advent Meditation series, REMADE.
⁣
A cleaner read:
⁣
“Steadfast love and faithfulness (or mercy & truth in KJV) meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.”
Psalm 85:10
⁣
The translations differ, but I learned today each version stems from the Hebrew word HESED, which we used in Week 1!
⁣
Hesed is the word for God’s lovingkindness that establishes WHY we remain anchored in hope, peace, joy, & love in difficult days.
⁣
Humbling to see God bringing seemingly opposing forces of mercy & truth, and righteousness & peace together in a kiss. Not just meeting warmly with lovingkindness, but doing so in unexpected places like you & me.
