Adopting Gods Pace

What a journey it’s been learning what it looks like to pace myself as a mother, business owner, artist, and follower of Christ. It’s been such a challenge for me, but I’m beginning to (sorta kinda) let go of the “hustle hard” mentality.

It feel so foreign to me. It feels wrong to move slower, hurry less, and resist the urge to take on more. The fear that haunts me constantly is that I’ll fall behind in my business work, have mountains of dishes and laundry, or have cranky, hungry children. Or worse, have a cranky, hungry husband (bom bom bommm) hahah!

And yet, I know that if I simply just trust the Lord and submit, I’ll not only be able to get those things done, but achieve them with excellence AND without being mentally and physically annihilated afterwards.

It’s a new “dose” of work that I’m so desperately trying to adopt and it looks something like this:

Daily silent, focused prayer and creative time.
Showing up in prayer exactly as I am in whatever state I’m in.
Being a woman of excellence, not superwoman.
Turning off my phone, TV, and radio first thing in the morning and by 8pm.
One solid day of rest from anything work related every seven days.

I’m sure on this journey I’ll discover more things that will help me create this new pace, but for now, say a prayer for me as I focus on these five things! ❤️
