It’s that time of the month again… time to write my monthly love note to my family!

To Bill, Alissa, & Zach:

I look at these photos above and they make me smile. They mean so much to me. Great memories and beautiful moments are attached to each one. I want to remember them forever.

I tell you this often, multiple times daily how much I love you three. I don’t just say those words, but I mean them with everything I have. My heart is filled with love for who you are, love for how I get to be your wife and momma, and love for how God has bonded us as a family. You bless me. You bring much joy in my life. Life is extra-fun because of you!

Bill, we’ve had a fun month… slipping away for a weekend to Wisconsin, enjoying the colors of the season together, and reconnecting and slowing things down a bit. And finding one more time to go out on the bike last week. Thank you! Time spent with you always brings me joy. Thank you for the many things you do to make my life a little sweeter, and for all you do to bless me. I love you so very much, and look forward to many more great moments together in November!

Alissa, having you home has been such a treat for me! I know I drive you crazy at times, but thank you for putting up with me. You continue to have a way of lighting up a room, and you always have a way of making me smile! I’m so proud of you for all you do with excellence, including your accomplishments at work and how you live your life. Keep up the great work, Sweetheart! God has big things ahead for you. Keep putting Him first in your life. Thanks for the fun times together this month, and for continuing to make your family a priority. I can’t wait for more great times together in the month ahead. I love you, Lissy-Lou!

Zach, you continue to make me proud of you… with how you live your life, how you treat others, and how you rise above anything that tries to block your path. You work hard in school, you are a talented photographer, and you’re a great son. Thank you for the difference you make in so many lives including mine. Continue seeking God and putting Him first in your life. He will guide you every step of the way, and will lead you to an amazing future He has planned just for you. I appreciate how you always make time for your family. I look forward to more wonderful memories made with you in November. I love you, Z-man!

As November tends to be a month to reflect and be thankful on God’s many blessings, I’ll remind you again how very thankful to God I am for you. Let’s make a whole bunch more memories together, starting tomorrow!

All my love,

Julie & Mom

This is your reminder that God doesn’t require perfection—just your presence.

You don’t have to crush every task or look Pinterest-perfect doing it.
You’re doing holy work, even in messy buns and yesterday’s mascara. 💁‍♀️

My good friends since 5th grade, Karen and Sheila, joined me on the podcast this week. When I asked them what suggestions they had for someone who's struggling with negative self-talk or degrading thoughts, Sheila shared her wisdom in saying to look for the positive. There's always something positive. But sometimes we get fixed on the negative instead. We need to remember the positive. 

Isn't this true? What are you focused on today? The negative or the positive? What positive can you remember today?

What do you do to change your mindset when it needs some changing?

My friends, Karen Wacker and Sheila Schulte, joined me on the podcast this week, and they both shared their wisdom and inspiration. I love what Karen said about what she does to change her mindset. This might encourage you today, too.

What's that Bible verse? 📖
If your energy’s gone and your to-do list still feels long, take this as permission to exhale.

God isn’t asking for perfection—just your presence.

Rest is holy.
So is grace.

Don't miss this if you could use a belly laugh today! 🤣

This is what happens when you invite on the podcast two friends who you've known you since 5th grade, Sheila and Karen. 🩵

Sheila says it perfectly,
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m not enough... I’ll never get it right... I’m failing at everything”?

You’re not alone—and those words aren’t the truth.

Join us for She Speaks Life, a special morning created for women just like you—women who are tired of the negative self-talk and ready to replace it with God’s truth. Together, we’ll learn to speak life over ourselves, find freedom in our identity in Christ, and encourage one another in a space full of grace.

Come as you are. Leave refreshed, encouraged, and reminded of the power your words hold.

Bring a friend. There’s a seat for you. 💛

📅 Saturday, May 3 | 9:00 - 11:00 AM
