INSPO
After becoming a mama in 2021, I began to quickly see how precious and limited my time was and how many “things” were vying for my attention. In this season, I was trying so hard to focus on the word “settle” in a sense of settling into quieter rhythms and blocking out the noise that was competing with the most important job of my life – raising a child. During nap times, I met with God at the keyboard with my many questions, doubts, praises, and fears (hello year 1 of motherhood). I quickly figured out there was a deeper purpose and calling to the words that filled the pages and that some other woman, somewhere, may just need to hear from Him too.
This is a journal of affirmations – like love letters from God to you. Each page holds a weekly bible verse, paragraph stating who God says you are, and lastly a prayer of gratitude and guidance to living out these truths. Affirmations are an idea I once heard in a podcast that have since held so much meaning to our family, especially as we’ve welcomed babies within these walls. They are words, I don’t want my babies to go a day without hearing… “You are brave. You are strong. You are heard. You are wanted. You are adored. You are loved.” And on. They are commands said over them and sent to Heaven nightly. They are easy to give out to my tiniest blessings but can sometimes be so hard to say to myself. My prayer is that this journal will give every woman hope in drowning out the noise and settling into the truth of who God says you are.
The people within this house are my biggest inspiration for the words on these pages. These words have been prayed over and will continue to be. My heart is pounding with gratitude. I hope these words find you and hold you tight.
