💕 If you’ve Been Carrying a Lot Lately…

Life has been a lot lately.

Those of you who follow me on instagram or facebook might have seen that this past Monday we said a heart breaking goodbye to our sweet little dog, Snowball. She was a wonderful companion for 12 years through all of life’s ups and downs.

I am still adjusting to how quiet the house is without her here at my feet! Ugh – I miss her so much! But I am so so thankful for the blessing she was. God is good.

Part of grief is acceptance and I’m learning to accept that life just throws us curve balls sometimes, doesn’t it?

I know I’m not alone and all of us face these curve balls and so I wonder today, what might you be carrying that simply feels heavy?

In Matthew 6, Jesus gently teaches us not to worry about tomorrow, not because tomorrow doesn’t matter, but because our Father is already there. He reminds us to look at the birds. Look at the flowers.

Your heavenly Father cares for them…and you are worth far more.

²⁶Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

²⁸“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

³¹So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Jesus also shows us how to pray in this chapter.

“Our Father…”
“Give us THIS day…”
“Deliver us…”

There is something powerful about praying for THIS day.

Today’s bread.
Today’s grace.
Today’s strength.

You see, God does not pour tomorrow’s grace into today’s hands. He gives us just what we need for the step right in front of us today. So, if you’ve been carrying a lot lately too, I want to invite you to join me for 31 Days of Prayer.

On Wednesday, March 4th,
we will begin 31 Days of Prayer leading up to Easter Sunday.

This is a Scripture-rooted guide that helps you:

slow down
reflect
release burdens
Pray with confidence

If you’d like to join us:
Grab your copy of 31 Days of Prayer here.
Join us on Facebook here.

My hope and prayer is that this time together makes our hearts feel a little lighter as we hand our burdens over to the Lord.

I can’t wait to see how God works through this time together!

Walk with the King,

Courtney

31 Days of Prayer is a digital download. No physical product will be mailed. You can print the workbook or use it on your tablet. IT IS AVAILABLE (exclusively) ON ETSY HERE!

🙏 “Draw Near to God…” A 31-Day Invitation

What if drawing near to God didn’t require more effort… just more intention?

Some seasons are fuller than others. Life grows loud, responsibilities pile up, and before we realize it, the quiet space where we once met with God feels distant.

Yet Scripture gives us this tender promise:

“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
(James 4:8)

Simply come.

That is my invitation to you today!

Starting Wednesday, March 4th (for the 31 Days leading up to Easter), I invite you to join me in walking through 31 Days of Prayer together!

31 Days of Prayer is a digital printable guide that gives you a simple daily structure so you’re never staring at a blank page wondering what to do next.

Inside you’ll get:

31 daily entries rooted in Scripture
A consistent flow: Read it Carefully / Study it Prayerfully / Live it Out Practically
Reflection questions to help you slow down + listen
Space to write your own honest prayers
Six themes that shape your prayer life: Surrender, Repentance, Trust, Intercession, Gratitude & Praise, Prayers of Jesus

And of course, the best part is you don’t have to do it alone!

We’ll be gathering in our Facebook group so you can join the conversation, stay encouraged, and keep showing up (even on the days you feel tired).

There are two simple steps to join us:

Grab your copy of 31 Days of Prayer here.
Join us on Facebook here.

You are invited because we are better together and God wants to meet us all right where we are.

Keep walking with the King,
Courtney (Karen and Ruth too MyMentorshipCourses.com )

🙏 What’s Next? Something New 🤗

As we near the end of the A HEALTHIER YOU study, you are probably wondering what is next?

As I mentioned in this week’s video, I have not been able to keep up with my old pace of writing and leading the “Reading through the Bible” series. My last study that took us through a specific book of the Bible was last summer through the Book of Jonah. So if you missed that study you could do it now or….

Join me along with Karen and Ruth
from My Mentorship Courses
for 31 Days of Prayer!

31 Days of Prayer is a simple and sacred
31-day printable guide to help you connect more deeply with God.

If prayer has felt hard to stay consistent with lately – too distracted, too tired, too many tabs open in your brain – I want you to know you’re not alone.

That’s why we created something new (and I’m really excited about it)!

It’s a gentle daily rhythm:

Read it Carefully (Scripture)
Study it Prayerfully (short reflection + questions)
Live it Out Practically (a simple prayer you’ll write)

If you want to join us, you can grab your printable copy here:
31 DAYS OF PRAYER

We’ll be beginning together on Wednesday, March 4th (which is exactly 31 Days leading up to Easter Sunday )But you can do this anytime at your own pace

More details soon… but for today, I just wanted to invite you early.

Keep walking with the King,
Courtney (Karen and Ruth)

💛 When FAITHFUL Women Feel BURNED OUT (A Healthier You – WEEK 4)

Welcome back to the 4th and final week of A HEALTHIER YOU!! I can’t wait to finish strong with you!

If you don’t have the study guide – it is available for immediate download HERE.

Let’s get started with Week 4’s Video!

Are you burned out—but still faithful?

Do you love the Lord, care deeply for others, and yet feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stretched beyond your limits?

In this final video of the A HEALTHIER YOU series, we talk about what it means to be burned out but faithful and how God invites us to find rest in a stressed world.

Stress is a normal part of life, but when stress goes unattended and we ignore our God-given limits, it can quietly lead to burnout, anxiety, and exhaustion.

Many of us are teetering on burnout because we’re carrying more than one person was ever meant to carry. We ignore our limits, not because we’re careless, but because we’re faithful, loving, and trying to be everything to everyone. But when we live beyond our capacity for too long, our bodies begin to protest.

So join me now for Week 4’s Video…

{If you are reading this in an email or feed – click here to view the video}

Are you ready for Week 4 to begin?

Let’s get STARTED!

Set aside 10 minutes a day to pull out your Bible and A HEALTHIER YOU study guide and do the daily devotionals in God’s Word. There is encouragement waiting for you in these devotionals! Then begin the Health Tracker for the day that you will find inside the study guide.

Looking for Accountability and a Community to Cheer You On?

Come join us over on my Good Morning Girls Facebook Page for daily check ins.

I’ll be posting at 7am (EST) Monday through Friday but you can check in anytime that works for you through out the day!

So, I’ll see you back here next Sunday for Week’s 2’s video and over on my GMG Facebook page all week long!

Here are this week’s Verses of the Day

Remember this week:
The best plan for you is the one you will do!

Nothing happens overnight – we are building A Healthier You one day, one prayer, one step, one choice at a time!

My prayer is that this encourages you to steward your body with grace so you can continue walking faithfully with the Lord for years to come.

Keep walking with the King

AGING WELL: 💪 Strong for the Long Run (A HEALTHIER YOU – WEEK 3)

Welcome back to Week 3 of A HEALTHIER YOU!! We are half way there and you are doing great! Keep on going!

If you don’t have the study guide yet – it is available for immediate download HERE so you can begin with us now!

Let’s get started with Week 3’s Video!

In this video, we’re talking about what it means to be strong for the long run – not for appearance, but for aging well with faith, purpose, and endurance.

As women, our bodies change with time. Injuries linger longer. Energy looks different than it once did. But Scripture reminds us that we do not age out of usefulness, calling, or movement. God designed our bodies to move and caring for them is one way we stay available for all He still has for us.

So join me now for Week 3’s Video below…

Are you ready for Week 3 to begin?

Looking for Accountability and a Community to Cheer You On?

So, I’ll see you back here next Sunday for Week’s 2’s video and over on my GMG Facebook page all week long!

Here are this week’s Verses of the Day

Remember this week:
The best workout for you is the one you will do!

Nothing happens overnight – we are building A Healthier You one day, one prayer, one step, one choice at a time!

We don’t need a gym, intense workouts, or perfect conditions to age well. Small, faithful steps – walking, stretching, strengthening, and simply moving throughout our day can make a powerful difference over time.

My prayer is that this encourages you to steward your body with grace so you can continue walking faithfully with the Lord for years to come.

Keep walking with the King

Courtney
