Hooray for Awesome Priests Helping Us Form Our Conscience in Confusing Times
Hello everybody! Today, I thought I would share a few videos to help you break through all the confusion and allow your conscience to be formed by some amazing priests. Can I just say how grateful I am for the amazing priests that we have in our Church? Sometimes we tend to focus on the “bad ones” — but perhaps more fruitful is to pray for all our priests and to highlight the good ones, ya know? There are so many amazing priests I have encountered throughout the years, and I am so grateful for each and every one of them! They have helped to shape my conscience in the…

What My Zombie Apocalypse Experience at the Mall Taught Me About Filling Our Lives With Jesus
Happy Friday Everybody! Recently, I found myself running for my life through an empty mall — but perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me take you back an hour before my run which, frankly, may have broken a few speed records in the “mom of 6 kids” category. Ha, ha! While trying to kill time before a pickup of one of my kids, I gave a call over to a local store which informed me the blazer I was interested in was on crazy discount — the only catch is I had 30 minutes before the mall closed and the sale ended! My love for bargains compelled me to…

Speak the Truth in Love
You know, sometimes we can allow our fear of “offending” somebody get in the way of saying the very thing that we know will set them free. Why is that? If we’re being honest, sometimes it’s because we would rather be liked by somebody than to say that difficult thing that NEEDS to be said. Other times, we genuinely fear hurting somebody’s feelings so much so, that we remain silent — even though, deep down, we know they DESERVE the truth that will set them free. The third option, which is the least attractive, is that we simply don’t care about the souls of the people around us. I’m willing…

#FastandPray2020
You are invited! Please join in prayer and fasting for the upcoming election, our country, our leaders, and for each other! Lord knows we need it! When a friend from real-life (Shout out Tori!) reached out to me on Instagram and asked me to join in this Holy Spirit initiative, of course, I said, “yes!”. I know the power of prayer and fasting. I’ve witnessed the beautiful effect of praying and fasting for specific intentions in my own life. Honestly, how could I say “no” — knowing that there is so much at stake with this election? I’m not just talking about political ramifications — I’m talking about the right…

Behind the Scenes of a Talk
Well, I’m finished! I was up against a tight deadline, but I finished the talk for the upcoming Catholic Mom’s summit and just sent it off! Hooray! Honestly, I don’t know how it is all going to come together, but I did my best — and now I leave the rest to God and the editors (they have their work cut out for them!) Let me just say, I am exhausted. I always feel like a shell of a person after giving a talk. I just feel like I have nothing left to give. Do you ever feel that way? Anyway, today is all about catching up with all the…
