Let me kneel down in the dirt with you.

Grace Kelley

Hey. I'm Gracie. I am so glad that you are here. If you find yourself worn out, world weary, beat up and broken hearted—then I'm here to pour you a cold glass of water and hand you a seed packet full of hopes. Let me kneel down in the dirt with you and remind you that there is good for you, even here. Even in the midst of this painful circumstance you are walking through. And this isn't the end of your story; it is only the beginning.

It's time to rest beloved. It's time to be still. ⁠ ⁠ Breathe in deep today—you are not loved for what you do, but simply because God has chosen to set His love upon you. ⁠ ⁠ You can rest. You can be still, and still be loved. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #sabbath #learninghowtosabbath #rest #bestill #slowdown #confessionsofarecoveringperfectionist #sabbathsociety #hopeinhardship #intentionalliving

As a recovering perfectionist it is often so hard for me not to suck the life out of good things simply because I am idealizing them and refusing to celebrate progress. ⁠ ⁠ If you have been trying to practice Sabbath for more than a handful of weeks, you have probably had your share of failures. ⁠ ⁠ Weeks that you let go by; days you ignored the still small Voice inviting you into His rest; days that Sabbath was passed over all together because the calendar was filled before you even knew what had happened. ⁠ ⁠ You are not alone in this! We have all been there. This journey towards pursuing life giving rhythms of rest is challenging. We don't come by it naturally. Our culture is against us, and your upbringing might be too. ⁠Refuse the temptation to beat yourself up, or worse yet, to give up all together just because you haven't done it all "perfectly."⁠ ⁠ What is more important to consider is how far you have come: let's celebrate progress today as we consider our goals for tomorrow's Sabbath rest. How have you grown in your practice of rest? What has God done in your heart as a result? I'd love to hear from you in the comments. 👇👇👇👇👇⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #learninghowtosabbath #preparationday #preparetorest #plantorest #sabbathtip⁠

This is not what our homeschool looks like most days. (Or even what it looks like most of today!) I wish it was: but as it is most days I feel like I am fumbling at best. But the baby woke up with a fever this morning so we traded math sheets and reading lessons with books about birds and painting and these are good things too. . . . As a recovering idealists it is so helpful to know; that this moment right here is lovely, but the doesn’t mean that the one before it wasn’t full of wiping boogers, or the one after it won’t necessitate breaking up WWIII from behind the bathroom door. 🤣 . . . As my mother in law wisely reminds me (with a sign she got from @worldmarket ‘Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.’ Thank you Jesus that this is almost an understatement. We can see beauty in the darkest night, and in the whispered prayer for peace on the other side of the bathroom door. . . . #confessionsofarecoveringperfectionist #homeschool #charlottemasonhomeschool #watercolors #painting #mannamoment #morejesus #prayer #idealist #perfectionist #beautyhunter

I have let perfectionism steal so much from me. Though I have made such massive progress in the past six years, it’s amazing to realize once again the joy I have allowed to be stolen from me. . . . Earlier this week I picked up my guitar again, like I haven’t in years. I poured my heart out before the Lord and I surrendered my desire to be ‘good’ at what I was doing. I let the strings buzz and my fingers burn, and I am learning again that the most fragrant offering before the LORD of hosts is US. All of Us. . . . #confessionsofarecoveringperfectionist #perfecionism #worship #thankyoujesus #loavesandfishes

Every day we sip from the cup of grace; let us never forget, that this too is a miracle.

Could anything good come from the trauma of my childhood? The pain of my present? ⁠ ⁠ How could anything good come from the grief of all I’ve lost? The fear I carry of what is to come?⁠ ⁠ How could anything good come from the suffering I have experienced?⁠ ⁠ Can I really hold out hope that God gives beauty for ashes, when the smell of smoke is still burning in my nostrils?⁠ ⁠ Come and see.⁠ ⁠ NEW POST ON THE BLOG TODAY. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #linkinbio #linkinprofile #newblog #bloggersofIG #christianblogger #hopeinhardship #bestill #evenif #goodandglory #mygoodforhisglory #mystory #traumarecovery #healingfromtrauma #metoo #sexualabusesurvivor #hopeinjesus ⁠ ⁠
