Blog-tember Day 25 // A Review

-
First, I'm so sad I missed posting something yesterday. Even if I didn't do the prompt, I had planned to post something. I missed it and remembered this morning when I woke up. BOO. Moving on...

 Sunday, Sept. 25: Review something! A place, a book, a service, a product. Anything at all!

 I'm pretty opinionated, so I could probably give you a review on a variety of things. However, when I saw this prompt, Wild and Free was the first thing to pop into my mind!

 To be honest, I feel like this book really opened up and shifted my heart. Remembering that now, I should probably crack the cover again. Pretty sure I underlined something on every single page.


Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan have been touching my heart for YEARS. I found their blogs around the time they started the Influence Conference. I joined the Influence Network as soon as it opened. I just trust them and their leading.



The book, as the cover shows, is for women who feel like too much and/or never enough. Yes! Me! Both!



I was able to facilitate a book club this summer with a few of my favorite women. As we walked through Wild and Free, we were each touched and awakened in so many ways.

Run, don't walk. Get this book. Invest your time. Feel your heart shift.

Love,
Jessica

  We're moving! But only to another duplex in our same city! (Lol at the use of "city" here. IYKYK) In July, we found out that our landlord needed to raise the rent of our current place. Within an hour or two, we'd found out that some friends of ours have a rental opening up soon. It truly was a provision from the Lord. The timing, the location, all of it. We've lived in this duplex for 9 years! Jordan moved in a couple of months before we got married, and I drove here to make it my home straight after our wedding! I feel like I need to write this post for myself just to reflect and show my gratitude for the home this house has been. We've celebrated so many holidays here. We brought Shaw home here! We've started traditions here that we'll always have.  We have battled depression and anxiety. I've found my perfect match in a counselor. We've embraced ourselves, and we're thriving. The Lord has provided financially again and again. And again

Morning epiphany.

 I'm still here, after all these years, writing words that I hope someone sees and resonates with. This morning, I was getting ready for church. I had an epiphany. (That's usually when they happen for me. When I'm getting ready or on my morning commute.) I've been in a season of feeling distant from the Lord, but about two weeks ago, I felt like I was having a breakthrough. There have been good moments, and I've had a couple of realizations - both about my feelings and about my walk with the Lord. However, this past week or a little longer, I've been pretty down. Just when I thought I was breaking through, my mood went down into the muck and mire. (My period also didn't help with my feelings. You're welcome. I'm just sure you were wondering.) Ok, but back to this morning and the epiphany. I'm getting ready for church, and it's like a lightbulb goes off. (I've explained before, maybe here but definitely IRL, that when I have a lightbulb mo

I stumbled on a link-up, and it felt like just the thing to do! Cooking : Let’s be real…I want to be better at cooking. Not that I’m bad, exactly, I just don’t even try! Everything just requires so many ingredients…However, I am eager to try this recipe on my own! Carrie made it for small group this past Sunday, and it was awesome. Reading : I have started and not finished so many books in the past year. Seriously. I should be ashamed. I just started I Am Malala last night, but it’s due back to the library tomorrow. Now I’m in the limbo where I decided whether I actually want to read it right now or not! I’m not much of a non-fiction reader, unless it’s a celeb’s auto-biography, but I’m trying to branch out. (Let’s be friends on Goodreads !)   Wearing : An old black dress, a green cardigan, and sandals from Target several summers ago. And a bunny necklace – I got the chain and charm from Hobby Lobby a year or two ago and fashioned them togethe
