Good beautiful Monday morning, sweet souls! 🤍 I hope this new week is meeting each of you with peace, joy, and a little reminder that God is still working—even in the places we can’t see yet.
This morning while working, I’ve been listening to a podcast and intentionally practicing mindfulness. Instead of allowing every negative thought that enters my mind to take root, I’m choosing to pause, recognize the thought, and redirect my heart toward what God says about me.
So today is officially a little Mindfulness Monday over here. I recently stumbled across a podcast called “Ditch Negative Self Talk For Moms” by Miranda Jackson, and I’ve really been enjoying it. One of the Scriptures it has focused on is Romans 12:2: A verse that seems to keep finding its way into my life lately.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” — Romans 12:2
Honestly, I know it isn’t coincidence. There are certain Scriptures that God seems to place before us over and over again. They show up in conversations, songs, devotionals, podcasts, posts, or simply come to our minds when we need them most. Sometimes I think He’s gently reminding us, “Pay attention. This is something I’m trying to teach you.”
Right now, I’m not only working on strengthening my walk with Christ and growing deeper in my relationship with Him, I’m also working on me. I’m learning to recognize unhealthy thought patterns, challenge the things I tell myself, become more intentional with my words and reactions, and continue growing into the wife, mother, family member, friend, and woman God has called me to be.
I’m learning something important along the way: You don’t have to wait for January 1st to become intentional about becoming a healthier version of yourself.
You don’t need a new year to start over.
You don’t need a Monday to make a change.
You don’t need permission to grow.
You can begin today.
Whatever season you’re walking through right now, God can use it to transform you not just around you, but within you.
And speaking of a new season… How is this new season treating you? Are you enjoying fall so far? I want to know what makes fall feel like FALL to you! What fragrances do you love this time of year? Do you have a favorite fall wax melt, room spray, perfume, or lotion? Maybe you love pumpkin, apple, warm vanilla, cinnamon, coffee, crisp leaves, or something completely different!
Tell me in the comments! I’d genuinely love to hear what scents you’re loving this season, and your engagement means so much to this little handmade business of mine.
May this Monday be a reminder to renew your mind, guard your heart, and remember whose you are.
Keep growing. Keep seeking Him. Keep becoming. You are a work in progress, and God isn’t finished with you yet.
Love and blessings,
Kayla
