looking for more heaven on earth? me too.
Sharing my observations and insights on what everyday life can look like when we pursue a faith-pace.

Are you weary in the wrestle? Come be renewed.
Why are we just praying and waiting for heaven? Imagine what life could look like if we let go of all our hustle habits and weary ways and stepped into something more whole and holy today.

glad you’re here
i’m abbey. just a human, trying to follow the Savior’s pace.
I used to think the only way to make any progress in life whether it be spiritual, physical, in my work or anywhere else was to hustle. In order to “over-achieve” you had to be willing to “over-work.” I was a gal who never stopped striving. But one day, a friend asked me, “What would your life look like to lead and live without striving.”
I didn’t have the answer. So I took 18 months away from everything that felt routine to me to figure it out. Here are a few things I discovered…
Jesus knew. His life. His pace. His pattern. They were the answer.
We can make slower and simpler living a priority and not fall behind what we were sent here to do. We can let go of minute-to-minute schedules and routines and embrace rhythms of rest and renewal and still thrive. We can slow down and simplify our life and still find prosperity. We can do things just for the joy of them.
And when we commit to spending more time with the Savior and following His pace the more He can guide our path to the peace we are all looking for. Let’s not just say we want to follow the Savior’s path, let’s actually do that in our average, everyday, latter day lives.
Did pursuing peace start with letting go of paper towels?
There is a great possibility the answer is yes. But isn’t that how the best things always work. We’ve been told over and over “by small and simple things are great things brought to pass” and in our case that small thing was letting go of my love of paper towels.

Making changes is always hard. And in the case of living a more faith-paced life, it can feel monumentally difficult. Download my free guide on how you can start with small and simple shifts that will lead to big things in your family and home.
Don’t Let Church Hurt Keep You From Jesus.
The reality is, being a member of any church can be hard. Because there are so many people there. And people are imperfect and humanity is always showing through. But don’t let the imperfection of man keep you from the peace and perfection of the Savior.
