Church

Going to Church definitely brings me Joy and peace.

Over the last ten years I have mainly been going to a Christian Church and this was definitely an amazing opportunity to learn more about God, learn more about what it means to be a Christian, learn the importance of being active in my faith, making a commitment to follow Jesus.

And I love that my children enjoy going to Church too - find Joy in going to Church.

After 10 years I have now found my home back at the Catholic Church and I am really finding Joy in being part of the community.

I love going to Church every weekend. I like the ceremony and the quiet. I like the music. I like the prayers. I feel Joyful when I leave the church - Joyful and peaceful.

It is a commitment that I have made to raise my children in the Church and this is a commitment that is important to me. And I do it for me too. I feel I need to go to Church and I want to go to Church. And I want this for my children too.

I Choose Joy

Today is Mother’s Day 2020 - I love being a Mum and I love celebrating special occasions with my beautiful family - I am blessed.

As a Mum there is so much to do and so much to get done. As a Mum I am on a Mission to be the best Mum I can be - this is what is most important to me. I do love the word Mission, defined as “an important goal or purpose that is accompanied by strong conviction”.

Today I am setting a simple Mission for the year ahead - to be Joyful or Joy Filled.

I love the word Joyful, defined as “experiencing, causing or showing Joy”. I also love the idea of Joy Filled - where the word Fill means “to make, to become full, to use empty space”, and Joy means “delight, pleasure, happiness” and to be filled with Joy means “to be extremely happy, content, to be delighted”.

I love when you feel Joy - it is felt in the heart - it lights you up and warms your heart and creates an imprint in our memory.

I will be actively choosing and pursuing Joy, and deliberating creating Joy to colour our days and nights.

I am making a commitment to write 100 posts over the next one year, two per week, as an opportunity to record my thoughts, insights, discoveries. This is my journey and I write these posts to be the best Mum I can be - it is not intended to give advice - it is my brave process and adventure, and this Blog is about keeping me accountable too.

I am actively going to pursue Joy Starters and be conscious of, and proactive with, the Joy Robbers. And I want to teach my children the importance of Joy too. I really want my children to be happy and Joyful, where each night as we go to sleep we are at peace.

I am hoping that when I reach Mother’s Day 2021, I will look back on the year and really feel that it was Joyful, and that in this process I learn new tips and tricks for my life.
