A friend of ours gave us the best baby advice. He A friend of ours gave us the best baby advice. He said “When you truly feel like you can’t go on, it gets easier.” 😩😵‍💫 That has been so true for us: when I feel I can’t rock this baby one more moment he falls asleep, when I feel I can’t go another night without sleep he gives me 30 more minutes. It’s the little daily wins. ••• Yes, I’m fully clothed in the shower feeding my son in his photo. He had a blow out that just wasn’t going to be cleaned up with wipes. 😵💩After his impromptu shower, I just sat in the floor, half wet, to calm him down. He then took about an hour to go to sleep 😴 🤦🏻‍♀️#motherhoodunfiltered #jisforjourney #newmom #nationalsonday #babyfuri

I’ve been on a mission for the past three years. I’ve been on a mission for the past three years. #missionfromgod 😅 That mission has been to go through the Bible and highlight every verse (in liturgical colors) read during the three year cycle of mass readings for every Sunday and every holy day of obligation. 📖 ⛪️ 🙏 ••• The reason I decided to do this is because I was tired of other Christians trying to say that Catholics don’t read the Bible. ••• In case you’re wondering, every Sunday there’s 2 passages from the Old Testament, 1 New Testament & 1 from the Gospels. And, in every Latin Rite Novo Ordo church, the same readings are being read every week globally. 🌎 ⛪️ ✝️ #catholicmeansuniversal #jisforjourney #bible #catholic #scripture #catholicbible #blessedisshe @blessedisshe__ #christian #read #catholicsarechristians #vatican2 #catholicsofinstagram

What’s happening in Afghanistan just another exa What’s happening in Afghanistan just another example of the importance of learning truly global and diverse history in school. ••• I know many adults today did not get that education and honestly many students today still get a white-washed western civ focus education. But don’t blame your history teacher for the curriculum they taught you, take the opportunity to learn about the world now using proper academic sources. P.S. don’t be Islamophobic, this isn’t Islam. This is a terrorist group perverting of one of the beautiful religions of the world. Do the hard work to educate yourself. Do it right. #jisforjourney #afghanistan #historyteacher #worldhistory
