Time for #Fridayintroductions! I'm Samantha - wife to Garrett and mother of these two kiddos. I grew up on Maui and moved to California for college where Jesus captured my heart with the good, true, and beautiful in the Catholic Church. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a passion for writing about prayer, discernment, and the life of faith. I share this various places online, but my home is spiritualityoftheordinary.com (#Godinallthings #AMDG #Jesuiteducated). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favorite saints are St. Gianna, St. Ignatius, all saints named Teresa, and the medieval greats Catherine, Francis, Clare, and Thomas. I also have a special love for these faithful writers and ask often for their intercession: Day, Merton, Chesterton, O'Connor, and Lewis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I adore spending time in my kitchen cooking, doing dishes, and listening to podcasts. 🙈 is my favorite emoji and I love working in my garden, sipping the darkest of coffee, and reading - mostly Christian nonfiction but my current obsession is the Outlander series. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I took a social media hiatus and deleted all my accounts for about a year (a story for another time), and since being back have LOVED discovering the amazing Catholic community online! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now tell me a little bit about YOU! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love this mural and all the ways Mary inspires us to better love her son. Happy Feast of the Assumption! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Assumption #mammamary #fullofgrace #catholicsahm #workingmom #catholicmomlife #mammamary #proverbs31 #blessedisshe #morningprayer #jesusgirl #catholiclife #catholicism #faithjourney #lampandlight #womenlivingwell #proverbs31 #catholicmom #dailyprayer #philotheafound #thecatholicwoman #graceupongrace #wellwateredwoman #chooselovely #seekhimfirst

The grass never sleeps. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or the roses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ and heaven knows if it ever sleeps. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jesus said, wait with me. And maybe the stars did, maybe⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ the wind wound itself into a silver tree, and didn't move, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ maybe⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ the lake faraway, where he once walked as on a⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ blue pavement, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ lay still and waited, wild awake. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh, the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ keep that vigil, how they must have wept, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ so utterly human, knowing this too⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ must be a part of the story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - "Gethsemane" by Mary Oliver ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #busyness #gratitude #gratefulheart #choosejoy #catholicmom #thesimplethings #stillness #seekthesimplicity #alifeconscious #theartofslowliving #chasinglight #holdyourmoments #simpleliving #ignatianspirituality #amdg #findingGodinallthings #magis #morningprayer #beautyinthesimple #Godinourmidst #catholicmom #catholicsahm #workingmom #catholicmomlife #mammamary #proverbs31 #blessedisshe #morningprayer
"For the Christian, there is no 'strange human being.' He is in every instance the 'neighbor' whom we have with us..." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To read the rest of this amazing passage by St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and some thoughts on its implications for our world today, click the link in bio. Happy Feast Day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Little ones follow wherever we go. Lord, teach me to walk in your ways.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
