The overwhelm has been tangible, manifesting physi

The overwhelm has been tangible, manifesting physically as the worst eczema I’ve ever experienced all over my eyes, and laundry I somehow can’t keep up with, amongst a million other things left undone.

I have caused myself to be overworked (yes it is my doing- I have a hard time saying no, STILL!) and I have experienced the suffocating feeling of being underwater for quite some time.

A friend who listens to the Holy Spirit sensed this and had been praying for me for days before I finally reached out for help.

We talked on the phone and I uncovered that I’ve been fearful of being without. Lack. Not having enough for the future.

But I’m not the provider. I have never been the provider. HE is.

My friend read this (Jesus’ words) to me aloud over the phone, and it has brought me so much comfort and peace.

If you are feeling anything like this, I hope these words do the same for you.

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?

Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.

Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.

Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
‭‭
Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭MSG‬‬

My aim is not to be provider. My job is letting go. Getting away with God, walking and working with Jesus …so I can recover my life. And experience real rest. I’m not there yet, but I’m on my way.

I found the perfect gift for Rob and all the Dads in your life. The Jo Malone London Fresh & Noble Travel Collection has three of his favorite scents: Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Myrrh & Tonka colognes, plus Lime Basil Mandarin body products - all perfect for layering.

They come housed in a canvas travel bag, and of course, you can always count on the iconic black and cream box- all ready for gifting!

We did it!! Today we got up and ran a marathon!! Well .... between the two of us we ran a marathon😂😂 We had a couple of snafus (see my stories for all the faith I have in humanity 😬 -and what happened to Rob) but hey we each finished a half marathon and I feel good about it! Do you have faith in people? I still do! Happy Friday and hopefully I’ll have a yard to show you next week!

I’m traveling to Seattle later this summer and I wanted to start prepping outfits now. In Seattle in the summer, you have to have layers- it is warm during the day and the refreshing cool breeze from the Puget Sound kicks up in the evening. I have the layers taken care of and stocked in my closet- denim jacket, light sweater, etc. but I wanted a couple of easy dresses and some cute pants and I found them at @nordstrom of course!

Have you been to Seattle yet? Don’t go. It’s terrible. It rains. Stay away. You’ll definitely hate the mountains and ocean and rivers and lakes and incredible food and coffee on every block and majestic evergreens and the epic Mt. Rainier. You will highly dislike driving to the ferries and going to the San Juan islands and exploring the bald eagles and lavender fields and going whale watching. You better just stay home. (My Seattle friends absolutely did not tell me to tell you this). 😂

Which is your favorite? 1, 2 or 3? (I got em all!😬) Head to stories for the @nordstrom try on! You can find everything on my liketoknow.it and annamaegroves.com

When I’m traveling, keeping my skin hydrated is huge. Last week I brought along my Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, plus I made a mask out of the Creamy Avocado Eye Cream!

It’s incredibly soothing and hydrating- especially after a flight. Just layer on, leave on for 10 minutes or overnight and wipe off the excess! Have you tried this trick?

It’s the Kiehl’s Friends and Family Savings Event! For early access and 25% off 6/8-6/9 use my code ANNA25.

6/10-6/17 is open to the public- 20% off without a code :) Swipe up to shop Kiehls in my stories!

Today was a good day. A long and really good day.

Today was a good day. A long and really good day. It’s my oldest son’s birthday, and I had other reasons to celebrate as well- my friend’s big milestone and some good news of my own!

We finally made it to Texas after a big day and 4 outfit changes, including this dress.

Last week I put on a dress to walk Lucy -partly because I needed to do laundry 😬and partly because they’re easy and comfortable. Some of you said dresses are the sweats of the south because it’s so dang hot and now I know we can be friends. I felt that in my soul!

This one is from Nordstrom and it’s just like you guys said. Comfy, cool, and I can wear it for no good reason at all. Linked a bunch of cute dresses from Nordstrom on annamaegroves.com and in my stories! Try on of this and a few other cute items coming tomorrow!
