Dwelling on these Scriptures

Some of these are repeat hits from the December 2020 Lately List. These include:

Reading the Bible in a Year

If you’d like a pre-structured, carry it in your pocket read the Bible in a year plan, the YouVersion CCV: the Bible in ONE Year plan might fit the bill.

Memorizing one verse a week at mealtimes

Anyone else feel like you ought to know more Scripture by heart? Oh geez.

Well, my husband and I finally decided to start doing it than just thinking about it.

During our weekly planning, we pick out a verse to memorize together.

Every time we sit down for mealtimes, we recite it. Since my toddler and I also have snack time (awesome!), I recite and reflect on the same verse four times a day, seven days a week.

Honestly, it takes less than 30 seconds and is soul-good!

Give it a go!

I’m Cortney, a recovering over-achiever and God’s beloved who loves helping fellow Christian women like you embrace your God-given gifts so you have the confidence to live authentically.

I’m also a full-time mama to two sweet little boys, wife to my best friend, motivational speaker, and part-time Christian life coach. Chai lattes, strong coffee, podcasts, yoga, dance, and fairy tales nourish my soul and add sweetness to life.

Discovering the joy of embracing my God-given gifts and who He created me to be was a game-changer—a journey that brought freedom, unexpected delights, and relief from guilt. Finally, I felt free to be myself and ditch the pressure of being someone I wasn’t.

Incorporating those gifts into my day—from weekly planning to deciding on commitments, nurturing my marriage, and parenting—transformed everything. Now, I can’t imagine life without the perspective of fully embracing who God created me to be. I was missing so much without it!
