Hello everyone! I hope all is well in your lives. Mine has made a drastic reset and is on the upward curve now. Turning my life over to Yeshua is the greatest thing anyone could do. Since things are on the up and up and I’ve been feeling absolutely amazing and energized, it feels like a second spring. Everything around me is coming to life once again after my inward descent. It does get better; Yeshua just has to rebuild a few things to make sure they’re built on a rock instead of sand. (Matthew 7:26-27)
That being said, I’m being retrained on how to be a functioning member of society. This hustle culture hurts more than we realize when we are in it. Yeshua is teaching me to slow down and rest when needed. He’s teaching me to not worry about making things happen in my own power. My own power doesn’t get much done anyway. He’s teaching me how to make shopping lists, so I’m not trying to get a bunch of things I don’t need, just because I want them. He’s teaching me to steward my finances, bills first, necessities next and then a treat when I have leftovers. He’s teaching me to focus on what I like to do, which is create art, photography, grooming, graphic design, and writing.
One thing I will say about this time since my last post, is that I’m no longer the same person. I’m a better version, not the complete version yet, but that will happen with time. Since I’m not worrying about getting everything done every day and focusing on the important things for that specific day, I find I’m completing more tasks throughout the week. Funny how that work, eh?
Coming up this weekend, whenever I actually get to it, I’m going to start the podcast up for Robin Grooms. I’m going to post it the same time as my other podcast, kill two birds with one stone. I use Patreon to host my shows, but they can also be found wherever you listen to podcasts at. Personally, I use Spotify. All of that being said, I’m working toward posting on Instagram and YouTube again. Creating while I’m actively working is proving to be difficult, not as difficult though as making the time to edit the footage and do voiceover when I don’t have the kids background noise. If any of you have some tips on how to get that done in a timely and consistent manner, that would be greatly appreciated.
All of that being said, I forgot to update my watermark for these photos. They were in fact taken within a day of this post being written. Also, I’ve got my office/craft room at my house back in order and functioning again. I think it’s been two or three years since I could be in here and get anything done. That’s a long time to be living in survival mode in hustle culture and trying to do life in my own power. It was actually longer than that, but I did get this started in the midst of the chaos. I know other people have been living in survival mode a lot longer than I have. I pray they get out of it and learn the good will of the Father. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. (Matthew 11:30)
And another thing, If you are in the Helena, Montana area and are wanting some nice pictures of your pets and are willing to help a novice photographer work out some kinks and build her portfolio so she can actually get off the ground give me a buzz. The ground makes me feel firmly planted, but I don’t have any blossoms yet.
I know I’m going to get super busy, because Yeshua been pushing me to move forward with what all I’ve given my yes to. His will be done.
Be sure to check out my social media and follow the podcast to know when new episodes drop. I’ve also got an online craft store that I share with my other page.
