Hi Friend! My name is Elyssa.

Welcome to my blog! This is where I hang out and share what I’m learning and loving

about lifestyle, marriage, the reading life, and the power of making intentional choices. I’m a follower of Jesus and passionate about living a brave, creative life for His glory.

Stay awhile, won’t you?

There are moments in life, many moments, when I realize just how ill-equipped I am to handle difficult situations. And I’m not talking about knowing enough information, how to communicate with the appropriate people, or make the right decision. I’m talking about what happens when my blood pressure rises because my anxiety kicks into gear. I’m talking about pride mixing with frustration when something doesn’t meet my approval. I’m talking about quick, unchecked words. I’m talking about how slowly love and kindness arrive to soften my heart.

And all I can say is, “Dear God, I have not sat at Your feet long enough for Your light to transform my life.” And it’s my fault. May I feel the discomfort of the disconnect enough to make change. Because the next time the challenge arises, I want to meet it with grace.

With strength.

With love.

With wisdom.

With a steady heart and voice.

Teach me to sit at Your feet. Teach me to pray. Teach me to love. Teach me.

After breakfast at Magnolia Table, we stopped at the new Magnolia Press Coffee Co. for a mini work date. Of course I had to pack the same way I do when I go to a coffee shop for a work session - with all the stuff I can jam into my backpack 😆.
.
This time I brought some of my quiet time stuff to finish setting up. I am so excited to use the 2020 Yearly Prayer Journal from @valmariepaper & the Growth Notes Book from @growthrootsco. If you’re still looking for resources for your prayer and Bible study life, I highly recommend both of these!
.
And oh my goodness, why can’t every coffee shop be as wonderful as Magnolia Press Coffee Co.??? 😩 .

It’s my husband’s last weekday off before he goes back to work on Monday so we decided to drive to Waco for breakfast at, where else? Magnolia Table (duh!) 🤪. They NEVER disappoint. EVER. We don’t drive an hour and a half to eat breakfast just anywhere!

POWERSHEETS PREP WORK DONE ✔
.
If you've only ever dreamed about pursuing the things that matter to you, then you need to stop dreaming and start doing!
.
I'm suuuuuuuuper excited to be using Powersheets for the first time in 2020. I'm telling you - YOU NEED TO SET BETTER GOALS AND DO LIFE BETTER THAN YOU HAVE BEEN. Seriously, go get yourself some Powersheets (link in my bio) and then head on over to @laracasey 's 2020 Goal Setting Series @ 2020goalsetting.com and start the goal setting process with her 😁
.
And if you want some extra inspo and motivation, check out my channel today cause I'm opening my own Powersheets and showing you prep worksheets and setting my goals on camera.
.
I'm all about building a better 2020. How about you?

I'm back in my hometown with family and friends for Thanksgiving and I totally packed my November @sipsby with me 😁 And lemme tell you, the winds up here in Chicago are serious!! A good cuppa is THE best in this kind of weather! .

Self Care is something I've talked about on my blog and channel and I think it's important BUT it takes intentionality. In my latest video, I talk about WHY a self care kit is good to have and HOW you can put one together for 2020. Link is in the description 😊

Yes, I'm craving all the things but I'm so glad I decided to do @squeezedonline this week. I was expecting day 2 to be super hard but so far it's actually better than yesterday! But it's also only 10:45 AM. We'll see how I feel at 5 🤪 .
