Amidst the Chaos

Posted on by rootedmama

The older I get, the more I learn about myself. Like, I need structure, but also a freeing amount of flexibility.

Enough structure to not feel suffocated, and also enough flexibility to not live in utter chaos.

And sometimes, in life. . . Everything feels like utter chaos. No matter how much of a balance or idea of “the plan” that I think I have in control.

And it’s in that moment, that I realize whom my life depends on. That I need God, because if I do not have Him, anxiety and fear would control the type of life I live.

It’s amidst the chaotic moments in life that I’m reminded to stay connected to Him- day-in-and-day-out. Having a solid foundation in Him when life gets rocky, it’s what keeps me connected, grounded, and He’s what keeps me going. I would completely fall apart if it wasn’t for Him!

10 Books in 10 Days

Posted on by rootedmama

This year, I set a goal to read 12 books. One book per month.

Here we are, December 16th, and I have only finished 2 whole books this year.

I decided that I do not want to finish this year, without working towards this goals.

Tomorrow, I have a half-day at work. Then, I’m off for two weeks.

So, I’m going to spend my break reading 10 books.

I’m not so certain I can do this; however, if I don’t try, then I definitely won’t.

Remember- it’s never too late to pick a goal back up!

I work better under pressure, anyways- haha!

21 Days of Christmas: Days 2-10

Posted on by rootedmama

This last week has been a lot more wonky than I had thought it would be. All I could focus on was the “right-here-and-now”.

Sometimes, during those moments. . . The best way to show and spread kindness is in how you show up in your immediate circles.

I know that there have been times this week where I haven’t been my best self. I’ve let people down.

In my experience, the best way to show up in those times, is how you mend the mess ups.

So, if y’all you did this week is come back to those in your circle to make amends. Then, you showed up right. You still spread kindness. You were still the hands and feet of Jesus.

Now, give yourself grace- because you need it, too!

21 Days of Christmas: Day 1

Posted on by rootedmama

The idea of 21 Days of Christmas is to spread love and hope during a season when others may be feeling less than festive.

Spreading the love and being the hands-and-feet of Jesus, could very well bring joy to someone’s life.

Today, as you begin preparing for the Holiday season, do something kind.

Open the door for a stranger. Give someone walking by a smile. Tell someone at work how they have impacted you.
