By Lisa

Let's talk about resting without guilt today. For the longest time, I believed that slowing down meant I was being lazy. If I wasn’t cleaning, working on my business, posting on social media, or checking something off my list, I felt guilty. Maybe you’ve felt that too?Those little lies creep in:But ...

Is Your Focus Feeding Your Soul – Or Draining It? Finding Peace in a Distracted World

By Lisa

14 Aug

Something hit me the other day while I was mindlessly scrolling through my phone. I had opened an app to check one simple thing… and before I knew it, 30 minutes had passed by and I was deep in a comparison spiral that left me feeling drained, anxious, and far from peaceful. Honestly, I wanted to ... Read More about Is Your Focus Feeding Your Soul – Or Draining It? Finding Peace in a Distracted World

Jesus, when the weight of the season presses in, r Jesus, when the weight of the season presses in, remind me that You are my quiet place.
You are the stillness my soul longs for, the peace I cannot create on my own.
#QuietPlacenJesus #JesusIsMyPeace #StillnessInChrist #FaithOverFear #ChristianReflecton
This month, let’s slow our pace. Choose one mom This month, let’s slow our pace.

Choose one moment each day to intentionally pause — during your morning coffee, before you head out the door, or whenever you can fit it in.
Even five minutes of stillness helps calm your mind and reset your nervous system.

Pick a quiet activity that brings you peace — reading, journaling, a warm bath, coloring… anything that helps your heart breathe.

What are you doing to slow down during this busy season?

#slowdowndecember #intentionalLiving #holidayStillness #Findyourpeace #ChristianCalm
Lord, even in the midst of the December madness, h Lord, even in the midst of the December madness, help me keep my eyes on You. Through every holiday party, every gift I wrap, every purchase I make — remind me of You and the sacrifice You made so I can live freely in Your love and peace.

#ChristianReflections #HolidayPeace #KeepYourEyesOnJesus #DecemberDevotions #JesusIsTheReason
This season can get so loud. The conversations, th This season can get so loud.
The conversations, the expectations, the plans, the pressure. Everything seems to ask for just a little more of us. A little more time. A little more energy. A little more hurry.

But I want to remind you, God rarely speaks in the rush.
He meets us in the stillness.
In the quiet corners of our days where our hearts finally slow down enough to notice Him.

So today I’m praying:
God, let my heart be still long enough to hear Your whisper over the noise of the season.

Because His whisper brings the peace the world can’t offer,
the clarity our minds crave,
and the comfort our souls have been reaching for all along. 🤍✨

#BeStillAndKnow #QuietMyHeartLord #FaithInDecember #JesusInTheSeason #HearHisWhisper
December has a way of passing by before I even rea December has a way of passing by before I even realize it.
If you're like me, the lists grow longer, the days get fuller, and the pressure to keep up with all the “merry and bright” can leave our souls feeling anything but rested.

Yet deep down, we know what we truly need is not another perfectly planned day or another beautifully checked-off list…
What we need is Jesus.
His calm.
His presence.
His rest.

So today, I’m whispering this simple prayer:
Jesus, in the middle of this holiday rush, may I find my rest in You, not in the lists or the lights.

Because real peace isn’t found in finishing everything—
it’s found in surrendering everything.
And letting Him hold what we were never meant to carry alone. 🤍✨

#FaithOverFestivity #JesusMyRest #KeepingChristInChristmas #PeaceInHisPresence #HolidayHeartCheck
For many of us, December arrives with the best int For many of us, December arrives with the best intentions. We long to slow down, to fix our eyes on Jesus, and to walk through this season with wonder, peace, and a heart anchored fully in Him.

But somewhere between the to-do lists, the gatherings, and the pressure to make everything “magical,” our souls start to drift. Lesser things crowd out the One our hearts truly need.

If you’re stepping into December already feeling pulled in a thousand directions, let this be your gentle reminder: Jesus is the steady place.
The quiet place.
The peaceful place.
The only place where our hearts can truly rest.

So, Jesus… help us to walk through December with wonder, peace, and a heart anchored in You.
Help us choose Your presence over pressure, Your joy over hustle, and Your voice over the noise.

Here’s to a December that draws us back to the One this season is really about. 🤍✨
