Happy September, er…middle of September!! : )

A few days sick (including on my birthday. womp womp.), a week at the beach (woohoo!) and a collection launch has me thrown for a loop!

Here were my goals for August:

Finish Eat Pretty and read the Daniel Plan. My energy has been MUCH better this past week. I’ve cut back on grains and am eating lots of vegetables so I want to stay inspired. I finished Eat Pretty and y’all have to buy it. Seriously. It’s such a great resource to have on hand. I’m already finding myself trying new foods because of it. Daniel Plan I haven’t finished BUT I did finish three other books I was reading.
Host a Birthday / Housewarming / Catch up Party! Me and Nan are turning 30 so we’ve got to celebrate! : ) I’m calling it a catch up party because I haven’t seen so many people this past year and am hoping to reconnect. Yes! It was so good to see everyone.
Add 2 books to Val & Word. I’ve got like 10 books to add so I need to get to adding! Didn’t happen. I don’t even know why I thought I’d have time this month to do this. 🙂
Finish B-School changes for VMP. I learned a ton from B-School and haven’t been able to implement much yet. I’m hoping to finish it all before our new collection and 2015 journal edition launch in September. I was able to make the majority of the changes but not all. Hoping it happens this month!
Complete 2 photo shoots, for wedding collection and prayer journals. Yes! I’m so happy with the result. Catherine Guidry did an amazing job as usual!!

Here are my goals for September:

Plan a party for Vivi’s first birthday. I should note, it is September 12, her party will be October 5 and I haven’t even designed an invitation yet!!
Study the book of Ruth.
Have a successful show at Tinsel & Treasure. Local gals, get all your Christmas shopping done here! 🙂
Create some prayer cards with things to pray for for Tyler. I just finished reading The Power of a Praying Wife and have been really motivated to pray more for Tyler. Even more than this list.

Peek inside the prompted prayer journal that’s changing lives! The flexible format makes it idea if you’ve struggled with a daily format.

Let’s make 2024 the year your prayer life goes from dull and distracted to full and focused!

With everyone posting their morning and night time

With everyone posting their morning and night time routines, I thought I would show you my one non-negotiable habit, journaling! 📝

I definitely can’t start the day without writing out my prayers and handing my day over to the Lord! 🙌 It helps me focus my thoughts and start my day out with a lot less anxiety.

I end my day writing out in my Adagio journal. It’s like a bullet journal but better. I can process the events of my day and pray before going to bed. 📚 I love bookending my days with prayer and journaling!

From sleepy morning rituals to winding down at night, VMPs got you covered.

If you’re filling out your prayer journal and wa

If you’re filling out your prayer journal and want a few extra ideas, here’s some specific for the upcoming month. Let me know if y’all enjoy this and we’ll bring you a new one to kick off your monthly prep!

1. SINGLE FRIENDS - Valentine’s Day is already coming in hot and it’s barely February. I know not every single person desires a relationship but let’s not be insensitive either. A fair amount do, so let’s lift up those friends that may feel discouraged in this season of waiting.

2. BROKEN/LONELY MARRIAGES - Just because someone is married doesn’t mean all is rosy either though. Lift up those in marriages that are hurting or lonely and pray for healing and unity.

3. DEEPER FRIENDSHIPS - I had Galentine’s Day on the brain when I thought of this prompt. ;) So often we all feel like we want deeper friendships but it’s not something we pray about. We worry about it. We get bummed about it, but what if we prayed specifically fo that this month?

4. THOSE AFFECTED BY S.A.D. - February is when I typically start to feel the affects of Seasonal Affective Disorder from the lack of sunshine. We’re in the thick of winter and the twinkly vibes of Christmas have been drenched in dreary rains or enough snow. Say a prayer for those to 1) feel God’s overwhelming joy deep in like rays of light & 2) be proactive about healthy ways to cope through the rest of winter.

5. GOOD HABITS / DISCIPLINE - The new year’s goals have lost their luster too! ;) Special prayers that God will provide the discipline we need to continue life-giving habits.

And a bonus one because I just remembered Lent starts in February too!

6. AN INTENTIONAL EASTER SEASON - May we pray for an awareness of our own sin and what we have been saved from through Jesus’ death and resurrection. And may we find someone to share it with this Lent season.

I hope this gives you a little jumpstart as your fill out your journals! Here’s how I’d categorize them in my journal:
#1: Sweet Friends or 3 Sections listing those friends
#2: Sweet Friends or Community or World & Nation
#3: Personal
#4: Community or World & Nation, even Personal (if applicable)
#5: Community or Personal

Sundays are one of those days I usually don’t share sbout so I thought doing a day in the life of one would be helpful to share! See the highlights SABBATH, for more! And leave any questions in the comments and I’ll answer!!

Do you practice a day of rest each week?

One of my new favorite blog post went up this week

One of my new favorite blog post went up this week all about how cynicism may be sabotaging our prayer life in an unexpected way! When I discovered this, it kinda stopped me in my tracks because it felt so hidden and not something I’ve seen shared before.

I hope it’s encouraging!! Would love to hear which of the 6 points resonates most!

I’ll put the link in stories!!

I just did it this morning and remembered a crazy way God spoke to two friends that was undeniably a God thing but would have honestly been forgotten had I not done this!

Feel free to share any answered prayers or ways you saw God move and let’s praise Him together!
