Gratitude beyond the Grid
Happy Christmas Eve!
This is just a quick note to wish you a joyful and peaceful Christmas and to let you know I’ll be taking the next couple of weeks off to rest, reset, and spend quality time with my family and friends.
Last week, I heard the most moving story about discernment, and I just had to share – so I recorded it on a podcast and shared it this morning! It’s called “Discernment and Christmas Trees” and you can find it on Spotify or iTunes (or anywhere you get podcasts, just search “The SundayMonday Show”)!
As I reflect on this past year, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. 2024 has been a year full of blessings, lessons, and growth — and you’ve been such a big part of that. Thank you for being here, for your support, and for the way you inspire me to live my faith in the world.
I can’t wait to jump into 2025 with all of you. I know God has amazing plans ahead, and I’m so excited for us to walk into them together. But for now, let’s rest, celebrate, and soak in the beauty of Christmas!
Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a bright New Year!
In Christ,
Jane

- Lead Me On: This song has been on repeat. I love it.

Welcome to Cozy January
It's a new year, folks, and like usual, it feels like I'm surrounded by messaging to do more, set wild goals, and get after it. But can I tell you something? I'm a little tired. And cold. And recovering from my annual January sickness. And as much as I love a...
