Episode 204 // There are some daily habits that will change your life. Over the past few years as a mom, I’ve found that reading the Bible every day is DEFINITELY one of those habits! And over the past few months, I’ve started reading the Proverbs every day too…
… And I love it.
Do I miss a few days a month? Of course. Is the book of Proverbs the only Bible reading I do each day? Usually not. Am I finding that God is changing me through this daily Proverbs reading?
You bet He is!
God is so good. So faithful. And Proverbs is a GREAT place to dive into daily Bible reading. In today’s episode, I’ll talk through why this is the case and share my own personal experience with reading Proverbs daily. Join me for some biblical encouragement today, friend!
(Read this episode on the blog.)
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Join me for a short time of prayer today, friend, as we reflect this week on the power of God's Word, his presence, and his grace in the stresses of Christian motherhood.
My time this summer reading through the psalms and proverbs has been such a wonderful reminder of God's character. We need that reminder every day!!
So today, we are praying for God's grace to pour out on our families everyday - so we can keep Jesus at the center of family life, even when it's crazy, and enjoy the good, the bad, and everything in between.
Join me.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 203 // We’re wrapping up the Summertime in the Psalms series today. (For real this time… somehow, I thought July had already ended last week!)
And I want to share my heart with you today, friend.
This summer, I’ve been reading through the psalms and proverbs. It hasn’t been a miraculous, life-changing experience. No magic wands. No a-ha God moments.
But it has been a slow, sweet time with the Lord. It has been TOTALLY WORTH IT spending time in God’s Word, even when daily life is incredibly busy as a mom of 4 little ones.
So today, let’s have a real life, mom-to-mom, sit on the couch with a cup of coffee and chat conversation. I’ll share about my stressful spring, my unrealistic goals for summer, and the power of God’s presence in the Bible through it.
Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
