Hey there! I’m Mikala—a family doctor, wife, mother of 5, well-being advocate, and author of the books Ordinary on Purpose and Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife. Each month my writing reaches millions of women, but I am thrilled to be connecting with YOU. I’m truly grateful to have you here!
All in Faith
Have I been listening? Have I been following Him?? Or have I been going along in my OWN direction??
We all have pain, don’t we? Sadness and loss and failure and struggle and tragedy. Pain is universal and, at some point or another, it happens to all of us.
I noticed how the people with the most painful stories sometimes had the most serene smiles on their faces and how they leapt to help the next person in line.
I think the World might be lying. I think the World might be exaggerating and pointing fingers in the wrong directions sometimes and attempting to manipulate us by spreading fear…
I wish I didn’t have to struggle so hard at ALL THE THINGS life throws my way. But the truth is I CAN do hard things. HE REMINDS ME WHO I AM. I am HIS.
Please God, help me be a patient mom… All too often I am impatient.
My point is, it's never too late. That thing you've always wanted to do? It matters.
New Year’s resolutions are my least favorite thing. I heard this year’s top resolution is to “Be a Better Person”.
Maybe if we look hard enough. If we wait patiently. If we squint our eyes a little bit. Maybe we CAN have a Christmas filled with simple little moments amid the chaos.
It’s been over five years since we moved to Utah. Five years. I can’t even believe it.
I sure hate watching you hurt but please know I am always with you and always on your side!
I wish I wouldn’t forget so easily that God is always right here with me. And I never have to feel scared.
