You Are Here.
A practical, prayerful guide to peace and presence.
This is my story. A story that offers solutions to stress and worry. One that is lined with grace and Spirit. One that you can fit yourself into, leverage, and receive your own benefit from. Benefits like peace, contentment, joy, purpose, and wonder. Sound pretty good? Journey with me…
I’ve aspired to live a present life for many years. And in my aspiring, I found myself continually trying. Trying to find the way. Trying to discover the solution. Trying to grasp onto that elusive ‘peace’ my ‘Life is Good’ hats bragged about. Trying to ‘be right here’ in all that I did. And yet, despite all the trying… my mind resided in a constant ping-pong match from the past to the future, rarely setting its footing down in the here-and-now. Regrets + ‘woulda-shoulda-coulda’s’ pulled me into the past and looming, hypothetical ‘what if’ scenarios rocketed me into the future. I’d love to say that one day I decided: enough - and chose, calmly + sensibly to begin to actually live in-the-now. But in reality, it took a cardiovascular scare, severe tooth infection, and combination case of anxiety + OCD to finally inspire action in me.
Today, here I sit, content and present. Now aspiring to share the steps that took me from one utterly restless + anxious mama to a peaceful pilgrim. I’ve finally buddied up with the present in a practical, accessible manner. One that I actively sought out for years, and yet, was available to me all along. One that is available to you right now.
This path to peace is remarkable, empowering, calming, inspiring, + simple. So so simple. May I share it with you? I would love it if you’d join me on this journey. Travel with me and find the practical, personal peace, joy, + meaning you’ve been longing for. Right here.
Let’s get started.
-
Create space.
It’s time to pause. To downshift. To decrease your pace. The Lord has gifts and graces awaiting us all, but we cannot receive them when our arms + minds are constantly full and busy. Begin to create space in your life in order to see His wonders present themselves before you.
-
Practice surrender.
It’s time to give it to God. The worries, burdens, fears, challenges, unmet aspirations, and everything in between. He is here, waiting to lighten your load. He is ready to pick up what you set down. Open your palms and hand it all to Him.
-
Read scripture.
It’s time to listen. God is speaking to us right now through His word in sacred scripture. And His word never comes back empty. Let His voice wash over you and offer you the direction you desire.
