The To- Do list is never ending.

The kids need something.

The house is a mess.

And that’s not including all the other things that need attention.

We can feel overwhelmed and insufficient in no time.

And those feelings aren’t fun.

We miss out on what truly matters because we are focused on what needs our attention now.

How many times does this happen to you?

It happens to me often.

I get wrapped up in things that won’t really be remembered 5 years from now.

Martha was the same way. She was wrapped up in what she needed to do instead of Who could fill her.

When God fills us after we have spent time with Him, we seem to get our priorities straight and we have this strength that can’t be explained.

Have you felt this before?

(Luke 10:41-42, NLT).
41 But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! 42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”

The secret is getting with the Lord!

On days when I begin with the Lord, the day just goes better. I am able to deal with things in a different way than when I am wrapped up in the chaos.

I get it, we are busy. But there are ways to find 2 minutes or 5 minutes to get in His presence.

If you are inconsistent, pull up a chair!🙌🙌🙌

Maybe you try and choose health and some days you get it right and some days you don’t!

Can I be your friend? Cuz that’s me too!

I don’t always drink 1/2 my weight of water in ounces.
My supplements remain in the cabinet.
I didn’t do any weight resistance even though I told myself I had to.

Here’s what I want to tell you…. Some days you rock and other days you just are human.🤣

Try your best and hopefully more days than not, you choose health.

If you choose health most days, you’re doing better than the majority of the population!

Let’s go! Tomorrow is a new day!

Can I share with you one thing that has helped me immensely?

I joined an exercise community with a coach six weeks ago!

This has been so helpful!

I have a plan now and I’m seeing results!

Want to hear more, reach out!💜

Let’s cheer each other on!

What surprises you the most about me?

Tell me one surprising thing about you in the comments!

I don’t think people understand the weight of the struggles you carry, momma. 💜

The sleepless nights, the endless to-do lists, the worries that keep you up at night.

But here’s the thing: I do understand.

I’ve been there, in the trenches of motherhood, feeling overwhelmed and alone.

And I’m here to tell you that you’re NOT ALONE.

In this reel, I’m speaking directly to you, offering empathy, encouragement, and a reminder that there’s hope and light even in the darkest moments.

You’re stronger than you know, and I’m here to walk this journey with you. 💕

If this reel gave you some encouragement, head to my bio for more encouragement in my Rise And Thrive email series.

This email happens on Mondays and it’s inspiration and encouragement for your journey!

You’re doing a good job momma!💜

Do you wish you were more patient or loving or kind?

Maybe you’d love to be more passionate or engaging?

The story of the caterpillar being transformed into a butterfly has always intrigued me.

The caterpillar within the chrysalis trusts the process of the Creator. Through the transformation emerges a butterfly.

But first, the caterpillar’s body needs to be broken down and then completely remade.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not who I was 10 years ago.

A lot of things have happened which have broken me.

Some of the hardest seasons (which I disliked very much) have broken down parts of me.

These parts aren’t there anymore, instead I have been changed.

While I don’t want to repeat those seasons, I am thankful that God has walked through them with me and has transformed me.

Here’s what I want us to grasp hold of: hard seasons will come, but they aren’t wasted.

God uses everything to make us more like Him. (And I want to be more like Jesus!)

Like the caterpillar, we have to trust the process of the Creator.

All the refining, breaking down, and remaking causes something more beautiful than it was before.

A changed person with a testimony to share!

God is for you and with you!

This is your testimony and no one can take that away!

Can we trust the process?

Not sleeping is a huge problem… It effects your

Not sleeping is a huge problem…

It effects your mood the next day.
Zaps energy.
Makes you irritable.
Increases anxious thoughts.

Do you like who you are when you haven’t been sleeping 🐲

I get you! I was sleeping two hours on a good night.

I didn’t even like myself so…🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Maybe you’ve told yourself that if you could just get a few more hours, you’d be fine.

And every night you don’t sleep.

Imagine how much better you would feel and the energy you’d have if you started sleeping better.

Perhaps your relationships would get better. You’d have the energy to do life!

What if it took just a few simple actions?

My routine takes a few minutes and I’m sleeping soundly. (After being in the 2 hour a night club, insomnia stinks!)

I am confident that you will be sleeping again!

In a few weeks getting back to feeling good again with energy daily!! (And sleeping to boot!!🙌🙌)

Drop a 😴 and I’ll send you my sleep resource!

So many women reach out that they are struggling and they feel like they can never break loose of their chains.

But God… He is how you break free.

I want to hear more stories of women who have overcome things they never thought they could.

With God, we will overcome.

Share in the comments what you’ve overcome and encourage another sister in Christ!

Maybe today is the day you share your testimony, your story!💜

Let me know how I can pray for you!

What if your whole day could CHANGE? Getting in G

What if your whole day could CHANGE?

Getting in God’s Word is a day changer and when you add in outside time with getting in steps. It makes a huge difference.

This two habits have been instrumental in my health journey and I wanted to share a new challenge for this month called Walk and Word.

This challenge will last the month of May or 31 days!

Grow in faith and get in shape.

Both activities are importer and yet so many women and moms aren’t able to get either in.

God’s word is a powerful tool to help you traverse this life.

Walking helps you keep up with the physical demands of life. God cares about how you’re taking care of your body!

When you sign up for Walk the Word, you get 2 emails from me with a step tracker and a resource filled with my favorite items for growing in faith and walking!

From there, I’ll send you the link to the Facebook group. (Not on FB, no problem)

Each day I’ll send you a prompt to lead you to God.

Can we have some fun and share something surprisin

Can we have some fun and share something surprising about us?🔥

I can only wink my left eye... like legit, I can’t move the other side of my face.

Everyone here in my family can do it, I might be lacking some kind of muscles?🙃🤓

Is there a way to learn this? I am pretty coordinated but my face is not!🤦‍♀️

Share with me something that might surprise people about you?

Do you ever feel like you could use some encourage

Do you ever feel like you could use some encouragement?

Maybe this is you:

I’m tired of hearing of bad things happening.

Why do I feel like evil is running rampant?

Can someone just tell me some good news?

If you’ve ever thought any of the above statements then my weekly email called Rise and Thrive is for you.

In the Monday email, I give you encouragement for your faith.

Here are some of the latest testimonies I have received:

“Thank you so much Julie for this email.
I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, lost and stressed with life - unsure what to do and if I’m making right decisions and just stuck.”

“Many thanks for your email and richly encouraging words in it. It is true that I am really going through tough times and at the age of 55 years I am getting more and more afraid of living a very miserable old age. This fear has refused to get off my mind completely. “

We all need to hear Good news and encouraging words as much as possible!

You can sign up for that weekly email above?

If you get these emails, drop a heart below for me!💜

Do you find it difficult to get into the Word each

Do you find it difficult to get into the Word each day? And maybe it’s also hard to get exercise in?

I’ve combined the two into a challenge for the month of May called Walk the Word.

Grow in faith while you get in shape.

Walking is such an underutilized form of exercise which is gentle, but has so many benefits.

Sign up and you get a few free things from me: a walking tracker and a walking resource filled with the benefits and ideas for faves when it comes to walking.

Then each day in the Walk the Word group, I give a prompt or prayer for you to focus on when you’re walking!

You can find the link above to join!

I’m excited to grow in faith and get in shape with you!💜

My first granddaughter! 🎀🎀

I don’t know why I’m so tired this week but it’s been a busy week here!

Baseball, Birth, Babies, lots of driving kids to things, and this weekend basketball all 3 days.

What was the highlight of your week?

Has your child ever asked for something and you to

Has your child ever asked for something and you told them they have to learn more about it or maybe they just have to wait?

Your intention is to get what they want eventually, but they need to understand the concept of waiting.

Well this happened on Saturday. I picked up 12 chicks and they had turkeys pullets. My son wanted 2 of them and I told him to learn about them and we could come back and get them.

Today was the day and we went back and they had sold out of all their birds.

It was a day of great disappointment for my son and he said we should have got them on Saturday.

Oops…

He was upset with me and how we should have gotten them on Saturday.

It made me feel really bad.

As I drove back home the 45 minutes, I thought how much I’m like my son sometimes with God.

Ugh… the way my son made me feel is how I imagine God feels when I act just like my son. Yikes.

Disappointed because of expectations and when it doesn’t happen, I get mad and grumpy.

If you would have only done this or that.

Sometimes the answer isn’t no to what we request, it’s just wait. Maybe we need to learn and grow more.

Have your kids felt disappointed with you lately?

Our family has grown by another 2 feet! What a hu

Our family has grown by another 2 feet!

What a huge blessing!

We love you already Hadlee Jane!

Are you struggling, friend?

While I don’t know why hard times happen, at some point we all go through struggles.

God does promise to walk with us.

He won’t leave us or forsake us.

Some of the biggest growth and strongest faith comes from walking through tough times.

Walk through this time with God. He will see you through!

Join my Facebook group, Rise Above the Struggles, to get more encouragement throughout your week! (You can find that above!💜)

Are you weary?

Struggling?

Going through a hard time.

I’m so sorry friend, that’s so hard.

I want to encourage you today with Isaiah 40:31:

but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Grasp onto God.

He has you.

Healer. Protector. A refuge. Redeemer.

There is hope in Him.

You just have to seek Him out and cling tightly!
