Mug-spiration Monday *Vol. 9*

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to be on a more consistent schedule again! It'll probably change, since I am looking for a job and have no idea what it'll be, but I am still so glad I am getting posts written, boxes unpacked in our new house, and slowly getting back into a consistent groove :)

But as far as Mondays go... here's the thing. I always talk about choosing to be joyful and making the most of your Mondays (and your everyday). But one thing I haven't hit on much is when you just really, honestly don't feel like trying. What if today is the Monday that all you could think about when you woke up was how badly you wanted to quit your job, scream at your spouse, blow up at your kids, or send a nasty email to a co-worker. What then?

Honestly, you aren't going to like this answer...

Just get up and work hard anyway. Love your spouse and your kids anyway. Skip the nasty email, the blowing up, and the job quitting. Stuff as many dang muffins in your mouth as you have to to keep your tongue in check. We've got to keep going even when we just don't want to.

Call out to God. Ask Him to help. Confess your sins, forgive yourself and others, and move forward. Basically, get over it and keep moving- but in the right way.

Keep loving.

Keep working hard.

Keep dreaming.

Keep breathing.


Taylor and I have a lot of changes happening right now and I can guarantee we will have days where this advice I'm giving will be imperative for us too. It's just part of life. And that is why I want to encourage you all to live this out. We all need it! Let's live big lives with full hearts and lots of passion, even when that's the last thing we feel like doing.

Have a wonderful day!
