Gratitude Challenge, Part 1
It began with overwhelm. As a new author trying to learn how to market my book well, focused on serving my readers and meeting their needs, I was overwhelmed. Publishing a book was a new endeavor for me. The entire writing industry was new for me! Without a team to guide and support me, each […]
Today I Knew
Today I knew. I knew what to do. I knew what not to do. The last few months for me have been focused on answering the question “What will I do next?” I have an interesting background career-wise. My resume is a bit confusing to those who do not know me. Family Ministries Director, Sales […]
Today I Went to Costa Rica
Be prepared, this is a longer post than normal! If you don’t have time to read it all, here’s the quick version: I went to Costa Rica for a week supporting the education, ministry, social work, and programs of Faithful Servant Missions. For readers looking for a more detailed recounting, keep on scrolling! The Schedule […]
Today I Took Care
Today I took care. I took care of myself. Am I using that phrase correctly? I’ve only heard it as “take care” so it sounds a bit wonky. Kind of like “passersby” or “brothers-in-law.” Technically correct, but definitely makes me do a double take. Anyway, back to the main point. Today I took care of […]
Today Was Confirmation
Today was confirmation. I preached at a youth retreat to confirmands, lived out my confirmation vows, and confirmed my calling again. Yes, I am using this word in as many ways as possible… Welcome to a grammar lesson with Hannah! Be prepared to understand “confirmation” as a noun, a proper noun, and verb by the […]
Today I Said Yes
Today I said yes. I answered the call (literally a phone call) to go to Costa Rica in just two weeks. One thing I love about my current season of life is the flexibility in my schedule to be able to say yes. When my sister calls asking, “Can you come hang with the baby […]
Today I Asked
Today I asked. I asked a question I was nervous to hear the answer to. A couple weeks ago, my husband shared a feeling he had that I didn’t understand. I told him “I’m not sure what you mean by that” and his response was that it was just a feeling he was processing. He […]
Today I Walked
Today I walked. I went for an afternoon walk. I set out with the intention to take a break from my work, get some exercise in, and grab a cup of coffee. This is not an abnormal part of my routine. About 3 days a week I’ll take a break from my work to either […]
Today I Was Grumpy
Today I was grumpy. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I’m typically a cheery, joyful person who wakes up energized and ready for the day, so this was not normal for me. I am the true definition of a morning person. As soon as my eyes open, I am AWAKE. My […]
Today I Practiced Yoga
Today I practiced yoga. I got on the mat and stretched. I’ve attended in-person yoga classes but also practice at home following videos on YouTube as a guide. Each time I get my mat out and press play is a unique experience. Sometimes I’m more focused on mindfulness, sometimes on strength, sometimes on breath, sometimes […]
