#wallpaperwednesday is back this week with #005. Check out my stories or highlights to download in✌🏼colors!

This week has been a full, busy week. Good things going on, but I’ve had something every night after work and was not able to make a wallpaper this week. I’m hoping to work on next week’s wallpaper this weekend, though! ALSO I decorated my porch two weeks ago and am loving the fall look, but am sad to say a squirrel (or some animal, I think it was a squirrel) started eating the big orange pumpkin, so I had to get rid of it. And the mums aren’t doing as well as they were (I don’t exactly have a green thumb), but here’s a photo of that first glorious day... happy almost Friday y’all. So ready for the weekend 🙌🏼

This week I was traveling in Florida for my job, so I decided to hold #wallpaperwednesday 004 until Thursday. I’m not feeling my best tonight so I’m going to keep this short and sweet :) This week’s wallpaper comes from James 1:19, which says, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” I know I could use this reminder (I aaam #italian) and therefore went ahead and made a wallpaper.

AND !! Something new / different this week !! Check out my stories to see what I’m talking about!

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 • • •
Happy Sunday! I am so thankful for some time to rest. I’m about to take the pup on an afternoon walk (which I know may not sound like rest to some) and am looking forward to having time to process thoughts and pray as we go. • • •
I hope your Sunday afternoon is a good one!

It’s Wednesday again, and that means #wallpaperwednesday #003!

It’s been harder than I thought it would be to do this the past three Wednesdays in a row. But here we are on week three, and I decided to keep it simple. I’ve been thinking this week about how hard and frustrating it is to stop repeating the same mistakes over and over, which ultimately comes down to our sinful human nature. It’s a struggle.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
• • •
I want to have a posture of gratitude that comes back to Jesus. So, I lettered a reminder to help me with that this week. I hope it’s a good reminder for you too. I tried it out last night and loved seeing these words first thing when I woke up.

Head to my stories to screenshot!

We’ve got yet another rainy day in Baltimore, but I’m not complaining. This afternoon has been filled with lettering and hanging out with my husband and puppy (they’re watching football and chewing a bone, respectively 😂) and planning a couple of new things (prints, products, and hopefully a fall getaway!) - happy Sunday!

In case you hadn’t realized it already, it’s the first day of #fall! 🍂 It’s also my cousin’s birthday and therefore one month until mine! I looove the next month and a half or so, when it’s not too cold, the leaves start changing, and a chunky sweater is enough to keep you cozy outside. I’m hoping to plan a fall getaway with Tommy this fall and also go on more hikes! What’s your fave fall activity?

Happy Wednesday! Today is the SECOND installment of #wallpaperwednesday ⚓️
To be honest, I almost abandoned this idea because it felt a little too cheerleader-y, which doesn’t really feel like me. But I showed a couple friends last night and they told me it didn’t feel that way to them, so I decided to stick with it (also because I was ready for bed and didn’t have a lot of time to make a new one. BUT that is the beauty of a weekly wallpaper - if you or I don’t love it this week, hey, get excited about next week. It feels redemptive). ⚓️ So here’s how I landed on wallpaper 002 for this week… As I was brainstorming last week about what to letter for this week, I thought about what kind of things I want to see on my lock screen. ⚓️ And I realized that at this moment in time, I need to be reminded that I am strong, I am beautiful, and I am courageous. And / or that I *can* be. I posted some more thoughts about each on my blog, if you want to check it out. And if you like the wallpaper, go to my stories and screenshot (or to my blog and download). ⚓️ Goodnight!

Waking up on a Wednesday like...👀 I hope it’s a good one!

I let Jackson out tonight and noticed a couple of things; it had just rained, so my feet were wet. And it was quiet, and peaceful, and I took a deep breath in, which I’m realizing I rarely do, and I soaked in that small moment of perfectly-cool-but-not-cold air and took a tiny mental picture (if you could take pictures of smells and feelings?)
🍃
I love little moments like this and I love the sweet in-between time of summer-turning-to-fall and then green-turning-to-colors and the feeling of change and growth this time of year brings, almost by necessity. The changing of the seasons tends to make me feel nostalgic in spurts, which in turn sometimes makes me feel uncomfortable. But I also kind of like it. 🍃
We sang this song in church yesterday (I’ll try to put it in my story) and I love this part of the song, the bridge, where the music stops and then comes back in full force and you’re reminded of how small you are and how great God is, even just by the music. I think the changing of the seasons brings a little of that emotion for me as well. There’s a sort of adventure in the changing seasons and a sort of adventure in realizing the depth and greatness of God. And I’ll tell ya, I’ve been longing for some adventure lately.
🍃
So those are some #mondaynightthoughts and this is a sort of tiny sneak peak of what this week’s #wallpaperwednesday will be about (I think)
