Cross

I love wearing my Cross. Wearing my Cross gives me a sense of purpose and direction for the day. Wearing my Cross gives me Joy.

I love my Cross that my husband gave me for our first Wedding Anniversary. This makes my Cross even more special to me.

When I wear my Cross I feel a sense of responsibility and at the same time a peace of mind, knowing I belong to God, knowing I can be of service to God each day.

I love when I see other people wearing their Cross too. I feel a sense of connection.

When I feel that I have a purpose each day, to be ready to step in and ‘be like Jesus’, which even as I write this sounds so ambitious, this gives me Joy.

I actually feel lost without my Cross when I am not wearing it. I really is very important to me and just like brushing my teeth, putting on my Cross is very important to me and is a daily routine. And yet as I put on my Cross there is a definite sense of reverence, I do not rush, even when I am rushing - I put on my Cross with grace and feel ready for the day. And I think I should say a silent prayer each day and pray for Joy and peace and God to look after my little ones.

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.
