This Week's Goodness

The Message:

As moms, it’s so easy to give and give until we’re running on empty. This verse reminds us that we’re invited to find rest and strength beyond our own resources. Take a moment today to sit quietly, take a deep breath, and let go of what weighs you down. God is there, ready to renew your strength if you’re willing to give it all to Him—even for just a moment.

3 Tips to creating calm:

1. Prioritize yourself. Each hour, take 5 minutes to breath deeply, and relax your whole body (even if you have to do it in the bathroom like I do!!). Living in a state of constant fight or flight is not healthy for our bodies.
2. Wake up 10 minutes earlier to start your day intentionally with prayer and positive thinking.
3. At the end of each day, imagine all of the days worries draining out the bottom of your feet like water being let down a drain. Allow yourself to let go of today's baggage. Give them all to God.

I guarantee these small changes will begin to lift your spirit and crush those anxious thoughts.

The Song:

​

“ Write scripture on your heart for when you need it. Because, anxiety, hates Psalm 23." — Leanna Crawford

​"Still Waters: Psalm 23" by Leanna Crawford

Let's just say it's gotten me through some HARD times these last couple of weeks.

​

The News:

"This Changes Everything," is almost two years old and continues to gain 5 STAR reviews on Amazon. I can't believe my first book is out in the world and changing the way people look at the loss of a loved one. I feel wildly blessed that God helped me create a book that:

"will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. It’s the age-old story of a mother- daughter relationship. Sonya walks you thru her journey of reflection and hope, her grief and profound love of her Mother. I have given this book several times as a gift.
The ending left me mourning with her." J.P. Amazon Review

The Prayer:

As always, a prayer for you.

Lord Heavenly Father. I pray for Reader today. May you help her see that she is more than the anxieties that plague her and the worries that flood her mind. Help her to come closer to you in prayer and gratitude, and lead her into the JOY you intended. Help her to see that whole-being (body, mind, soul) wellness is within her reach.

In Jesus' name.
