Sometimes there are seasons when you struggle to meet God, to dig into the Word. Life gets busy and messy, and while we’d love our routine to be the same in and out of season more often than not it just isn’t.
But still our hearts crave…even in the chaos we want and need Jesus.
Today I’m over at The Better Mom sharing a few things I’ve done in different seasons of life when the perfect “quiet time” was quite elusive. Click on over to read and share how you meet Jesus in the crazy.
I’m happy to introduce you to a new blogging community I’m writing for.. .

Sisters In Bloom Is Coming Soon from Denise Thompson on Vimeo
When Denise first asked me to think about joining Sisters in Bloom, I loved the idea. Women coming together despite differences with one common goal: a love for Jesus and to be the Church.
We want Sisters in Bloom to be a place you can take your mask off, settle down, be encouraged, and find freedom in Christ.
To connect with other women, share life, and grow in the process.
We officially launch February 1st, but stop on by and get to know us.

Rest and I haven’t always played well together. It’s no secret. I’m always busy, rushing, juggling 5 to do lists at once. A lifetime of perfectionist, people pleasing tendencies are hard to shake.
A life of constant movement, always thinking, always doing seems productive for a time and then it takes its toll. I think my toll was topped somewhere back in 2006.
But this year I will be seeking to intentionally practice a lifestyle of rest.
Today I’m over at The Better Mom pondering on what rest looks like in a busy life and how do you even practice rest? Stop by and join the conversation: The Practice of Rest.
