Do you struggle with feeling safe exploring your w Do you struggle with feeling safe exploring your worth? Like not even acknowledging it or expressing it. But just the initial steps of checking in with yourself?
If so, I feel you. Writing this meditation practice for finding your worth required some serious spiritual jail break. And I'm humbled by the way Holy Spirit spoke. Please take time to love yourself through this practice. Even if you don't meditate with me, just listen to the words and take a few minutes of silence to listen to God's loving voice on the matter. 
It is safe to love what God loves. And this includes you!

Prepping to sell, return to our old place one town Prepping to sell, return to our old place one town over that will be ‘temporarily permanent’ while we work together on the start of something that feels old because we’ve tossed it around in many different formats for a decade but suddenly feels like a race, has me wild in the head.
But I remember two things about the God I love & serve. 
1) The Ancient of Days is a god of order,
2) who instructs me to rest.
Which leads me to remember loads about the difference in me & God. 
* Mainly that it’s not all up to me. 
* I can rest, mentally, physically, and spiritually. 
* And that I can find God in every bit of it. 
As you press into whatever’s next don’t overlook sabbath moments where God calls you to stillness. And be blessed!

God's been working in me on being bolder with my p God's been working in me on being bolder with my prayers. A LOT bolder, in fact. 
I've typically been a "thy will be done" girl and just trusted God was working all things out. This is certainly true! But somewhere in there, this prayer strategy became less about trusting God and more about not wanting to get my hopes up.
But gracious God has shown me how gratitude and faith link up to embolden my prayers. I'm learning to follow Jesus's instructions in Mark 11 to believe and receive.
So that’s what this week’s meditation focuses on. Having the faith to thank God in advance. If that’s a stretch, just begin with thanking God for what’s already been done. It will help you find confident rest which is a beautiful starting point in your practice and in life. 
Thanks for meditating with me each week & granting me space to share what God’s doing in me. Hope you know it works both ways - that I treasure it when you comment or email me on what God is working in you! Never, ever gets old!
Be blessed. 💙

Mindfulness is saving my life right now. Aaron & Mindfulness is saving my life right now. 
Aaron & I are making some long-discussed (seemingly-forever-but-never-acted-upon) plans happen & we’re starting them N O W. And it’s a lot for my slow moving self.
But mindfulness is:
• keeping me from unraveling with insecure what-ifs
• keeping my mind on things above
• letting me notice where I’m growing
• freeing me to drop anything unnecessary
•reminding me that none of what we’re doing is forced or a burden. It is intentional. And it’s an adventure! ❤️
COOLEST PART? I didn’t decide to be mindful in order to get those things. It just happened.
There’s no predicting the beauty that will unfold when you quit striving & take in the now. Sometimes far easier said than done. But always, always worth it. 
Here’s a cool trick I just learned & loved on this walk.
1) What are 3 things I see?
2) What are 3 things I hear?
3) What are 3 things I feel?
Then go back through the series asking “what 2 things...”, & again with “what’s 1 thing...”.
Gloriously easy & so grounding! Any cool mindfulness “tricks” you have to share?

Meditation is great for easing into your day. But Meditation is great for easing into your day. But can it really boost your energy? Better than, or even comparable to your morning coffee?
I think so! And I’m a coffee lover/needer/demander. So you can trust me when I say this combo of gratitude, breathwork, & affirmations is a powerful wake up for your mind, body, & spirit!

Mindfulness reveals God in all things! And this mo Mindfulness reveals God in all things! And this morning it allowed me some unexpected church in the backyard, leaving me humbly, joyfully leveled.
I was making Mimosa Flower Essences for @commongoodfloweressences , and as I typically do, found a song to play over the flowers as I pluck them and place them in the water in a sunny patch to rest and release their healing. And then dedicate the essence and pray for the people it will aid in their journey to ultimate healing.
And the polarity struck me of how incredibly worthy God is of all praise and worship. And yet, here we are in our well-intentioned but faulty, fallen-short form, receiving all the intricate gifts of creation and then heaped on top of that the spiritual giftings of wholeness, healing, peace, joy, love, and hope.
How can it be that God scoops it all up and pours it over us without measure? That one only needs to still the inner rush and listen and be friends with the God who created you on purpose with purpose? #selah
Altogether apt since Mimosa in her essence form brings light to emotional blind spots, letting you see clearly both the issue and the strength within.
Empowers you to rise up with joy and heal deeply. Refract light and integrate playfulness and a sense of security.
It will be harvested and bottled for Etsy soon, but for now, I’m staying open to whatever else God has to share.
