Mirror, Mirror

Published on by livywade1 Comment

I used to write poetry on a regular basis. It has been a while since poetry has flowed naturally. I was at a work conference this past weekend. The last night, before I headed home, I went to God to reflect on the blessings from the weekend that were a result from blessings over the past year. In my hotel room, there was an interesting wall decoration of multiple mirrors. While I was praying, I looked at the mirrors hanging on the wall. The thought came to me how we look in the mirror, and often don’t think positive things about ourselves. I have often asked God to help me see myself the way he sees me and have prayed that over my loved ones as well. I felt the overwhelming urge to write. So, I did.

2023 Lessons Overview

Published on by livywadeLeave a comment

2023: The word of the year was REST. Did I follow through with this well? Absolutely not… I feel like I did better than I did in 2022, but overall the word “NO” needs to enter my vocabulary more often than it has been. I’m a people pleaser and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)  is definitely real.

Introduction to the Blog

Published on by livywade1 Comment

In 2023, I was determined to make some changes in my faith journey. Starting around October of 2022, I started realizing how overbooked my schedule that year had been, especially that Fall. I kept saying “Yes” and making plans that were not always necessary but sounded like a good idea at the time. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed all the activities I was a part of, but I felt something was missing…REST! I felt like I was constantly on the move and didn’t give myself time to breathe. God commanded His people to take a Sabbath day, including us, and I was failing miserably. So, like a said, something HAD to change!
