The Thief of Christmas

November 30, 2017/ Monika Kirkland

Isn’t Christmas time just lovely? It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas music, lights, parties, family time, decorating, hosting, oh my! It’s just a fun season!

But… there is often times a little thief in the night who tries to sneak in the back door during this season. He often disguises himself as perfectionism & comparison, and loves to prey on unsuspecting women and especially mothers, stealing their joy & wonder during the holidays.

Shoulding All Over Yourself.

November 10, 2017/ Monika Kirkland

A list of shoulds:

I should read my bible more.

I should read at least one book per month.

I should get up earlier more often to have devotional time.

I should exercise more often.

I should, like, actually lose the rest of my baby weight.

Over the years God has slowly been encouraging me and teaching me how to live a generous life. If I’m totally honest, it’s something I’ve had to work a lot at, because it didn’t always come naturally to me.

When You Feel Like You're Drowning

“I just feel like I’m drowning,” she said, with a sleep-deprived look I knew all too well. “I think I know exactly what you mean,” I replied.

Because it’s a phrase I know I’ve said more than I’d like to admit in my motherhood journey (especially since having my fireball Cora), and one that keeps coming up time & time again. I hear it from friends, from family, from older women and new moms alike.

Slow & Steady

The words echoed in my mind. I marinated over them, wondering why the concept was so foreign to me. “Pace Yourself” He had said. Right after I had word vomited all the things and all the dreams I was so eager to accomplish.
