Last month’s top nine
These are the things that helped me stay on task last month. While not one of these will solve all the world’s problems, each one played a small part in making life around these busy parts a bit more calm-and that’s welcome always.
Review: Rest & Reflect guided journal by Rachel Fahrenbach
A review for the twelve week guided journal titled “Rest and Reflect” by Rachel Fahrenbach: I know Rachel through a writing group and originally purchased the journal as a way to support another homeschool mom; because, gracious, homeschooling plus writing in the margins of the day is tough stuff. Here’s what I found now that I’ve used this practice a few months. The journal was worth every penny. She leads you through the process she followed to help make Sabbath a priority in her own home.
Let the light in
Did you already know the day would feel long, before you even pulled yourself up out of bed this morning? You aren’t the first to feel this way and you likely won’t be the last either. You aren’t alone. Motherhood is indeed a marathon, a long haul journey. Even in neutral, you still flux backward or forward. Without this perspective, we will end up drifting through our days instead of walking with purpose.
art
The act of creating(whether it be through writing, music, dance, art, or another media) is an act of faith. It’s an act of faith that, through the vulnerability of expressing our innermost emotions, we can grow. It is the hope within all of it that we may bless another person who may be experiencing similar emotions.
mill lessons
When I was in 2nd grade, we lived down the street from the Old Mill with my grandparents. Occasionally, my Papaw would take me to the mill to purchase buckwheat pancake mix from Charlie, the mill’s proprietor. I’d wander around looking at bags of pancake mixes and listen to the men chat and catch up at the other side of the store.
I learned a few things on those visits(𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘥𝘥 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘵)-this particular early Saturday morning was a lesson on wheat.
You see, around the world, most grains…
what is your why?

That question rung around my head for a while once. You see, we all have those things we crave in life, the things we feel the deepest compelling to do, the things we believe we were placed on this earth to accomplish.

The year was 2012 and Ann Voskamp said I needed to walk five minutes of fresh oxygen into my cells each day(full disclosure: it was her blog post that told me-those daily blog posts coming to my phone were a lifeline). I’d been breathing through a cracked open window for two weeks in tiny snippets by that point and the idea of fresh air felt like a heap of timid amazing.
