Review of last months goals & December goals

Last month I jumped on the bandwagon with the November goals. I had set three goals:
1) Not stress about the thanksgiving at my house
2) New header
3) Having Addie completely potty trained.

Results
1) There was stress, stress from hurt feelings
2) I did it & I love it
3) Well...we're still working on it, but making progress

December Goals: Three worked well last month so we'll stick with it

1) To fully enjoy the season of celebrating Jesus' birth, it's so easy to get down about not being able to buy all the things for all the wonderful people in our lives but that's just not what it's about, but I still out for one day where I can bless everyone with gifts.

2) Last year we did advent activities every day, this year Alex and Livi are playing basketball so I wasn't planning every day and now we haven't done one advent activity. So goal #2 is to give grace & know the teaching and showing love towards others is more important than the to-do list

3) To really look towards Him, I've realized the last few months I have allowed the ugliness of feeling left out to eat at my heart which just brings out the worst in me. I want to keep reminding myself that I am whole in Him and that who I am doesn't come from others

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box. 2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!! Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.

the here + now
