A little something I've been up to lately—a new A little something I've been up to lately—a new podcast interview. What area of your life is not peaceful right now? Work? Home life? Friendships? Family? We all have experiences that steal our peace; however, when that happens, we can turn to God and experience His presence in our lives and have his peace. One of the benefits God's love for us is to experience his peace and his presence in our lives on the daily, not just holidays and Sundays. Check out our conversation on cultivating peace on Google Podcasts, Apple or Spotify! Enjoy 🙂 #christianpodcast #christianpost #christianwomen #womenoffaith #newpodcastepisode
Eating Healthy on a Budget One common excuse for n Eating Healthy on a Budget One common excuse for not eating healthy foods is because they are so expensive. Here are a few tips that follow along with the idea of "Make, Don't Buy!" 1-Reinvent leftovers so they don't seem like leftovers (a way I have to trick my hubby into eating them!). Today we had leftover sirloin steak bias-cut in thin strips, rewarmed with slivers of onion and colored mini sweet peppers. Melted provolone cheese on top. So good! 2-Mason jar salads allow you to prep all your produce at once and store them in the fridge so they don't spoil before you are finished consuming them. Or even use a resealable bag or container with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. 3-When fresh produce is pricey, look for it in the freezer section instead. A great way to save money and fruits/veggies are frozen at the peak of harvest. 4-Soups are great for winter to warm you and fill you up without breaking the bank. And another great way to use up leftovers. Some of my favorites are: chicken pot pie soup, chicken or turkey tortilla soup, taco soup with hamburger, zuppa toscana. Tell me your money saving tips for eating healthy! #wellness #eatingforhealth #budgetfriendlymeals #GrinGal #guidetowellbeing
If you're on a healthy eating "kick," what are you If you're on a healthy eating "kick," what are you doing so it doesn't break the bank? One tip: be aware of your pricey regular purchases that tend to be on sale at least once a month. Watch the ads to get these at a reduced price. Often stores run these specials as "loss leaders." They will take a loss on them to get you in the store to buy other items. Do you shop the ads? #wellbeing #wellness #healthylifestyle #BudgetFriendly
If you're on a healthy eating "kick," what are you If you're on a healthy eating "kick," what are you doing so it doesn't break the bank? One thing I'm working on is figuring out substitutes to use in place of eggs (which are so pricey right now). For baking, I am using Flax Eggs and Aqua Faba (liquid from chickpeas/garbanzo beans). I also found a carton of only egg whites (no other ingredients) costs less than the equivalent amount of eggs. I can use two whole eggs and the egg whites from the carton to make an egg scramble or omelette for our family without missing the rest of the yolks. Any other tips? #wellbeing #wellness #healthylifestyle #BudgetFriendly

I'm working on building my patience muscles as I p I'm working on building my patience muscles as I practice "wait lifting" for the New Year. I write about it in my book, "Your Life on Hold: Don't Hate the Wait." I'm re-reading what I wrote, as patience is in great demand while I wait. Can you relate? #amwaiting #hatethewait #gringal
I am so grateful for this book endorsement from Mi I am so grateful for this book endorsement from Michelle Diercks for my book “Your Life on Hold, Don’t Hate the Wait.” She said, “Your Life on Hold offers encouragement for those sitting in life’s waiting room. If you’re feeling stuck in a story you didn’t choose, you know the pain and impatience of waiting for it to all work out. Author Kathy Carlton Willis has been there and is still there—experiencing a revolving door of waiting rooms! With her trademark humor and biblical insights, she will speak hope into your struggle. Rest in God’s presence and peace as you wait.” –Michelle Diercks, Bible teacher, speaker, host of the Peace in His Presence podcast, author of “Promised Rest: Finding Peace in God’s Presence.” #waitingbelike #GrinGal #hatethewait #AmWaiting #yourlifeonhold
ADVENT a focus on PEACE "Sometimes we have to be s ADVENT a focus on PEACE "Sometimes we have to be still to receive peace. Instead of fighting for what we want—waiting for what we need. Advent is all about expecting our Messiah with great anticipation. We are so blessed that because Jesus came, we don't have to hate the wait. Even the one we're in right now." –Kathy Carlton Willis #amwaiting #advent #peace #waitingbelike #hatethewait #GrinGal
This week of Advent we ponder the word "hope." Adv This week of Advent we ponder the word "hope." Advent is all about waiting, anticipating, longing. What are you waiting for this week? I'm praying God gives you something to hang your hope on while you wait. (And I'm praying that for me, as I wait yet again for medical news.) #amwaiting #waitingbelike #GrinGal #hatethewait
