Normal? What’s that?

As Covid drags on, we’re dying to get back to normal, but we have this sneaking hunch it will never be quite the same.  The future is uncertain. Maybe a vaccine[…]

I’m in my third trimester, on the fast track to eternal life, and for the remainder of my time here, I want to hear from, commune with, rest in, and follow Jesus like never before. After a lifetime of being a people pleaser, I’m finally (big sigh of relief) happy in my own skin, content to be me, and thankful for every day of life God blesses me until the end of my days. After a decade of battling with the reality of getting older, I’m happy being where I am today and filled with gratitude for the blessings of life. Every single day.

Do you, too, want to finish well? Do you want the days ahead to be the most meaningful of your entire life? Join me on a journey where the end is not the end; it’s all leading up to the the birthing into newness of life that will never, ever end.

Send me an email anytime. I’d love to hear from you: gigi.seriouslygirl@gmail.com
