JOURNAL WITH ME | to stay grounded, organized & grateful *quick + easy*

[@YennyCMorales]

Yayyy new apt, so exciting and thank you so much for these videos. I loveeee how simple your channel is but yet so powerful and it touches the heart. Keep them coming, blessings 🙏

[@maranathamama]

Thank you Margaret. You have encouraged me to implement this into my morning. I look forward to the growth that will come from doing this small but significant step.

[@liveby.eunhye]

I love the four sections in your journal and how you incorporate the scripture into your life! It inspires me to pray with a psalm, too. Thanks for sharing! 💕

[@margaretmatheny]

Absolutely! So glad you're here!

[@rebeccaross1715]

I understand the complaining. I know that all my problems are “First World” problems, and many times I feel guilty over them and the stress I put on myself about them! Same with my depression-because I honestly have nothing to be depressed about! I am just so thankful for God’s grace and patience towards me. Remember that God’s there for you no matter what we’re stressed about in life.

[@HerCupOfSIMPLE]

Aww Rebecca, I read your comment and I wanted to shout: "that's me!!!"... 🥺🙏💐

[@hippyelise1]

I hear ya about putting pressure on yourself. I do it as well every day. I haven't found the cure to it yet, but I hope to get there soon. Nice video. Thanks, you gave me hope. ✌️💞

[@KelsLynn26]

It took me a month to watch this but what a breath of fresh air. I too need to focus on seeing my partner in a brighter light. I get annoyed and snippy with him too easily.

[@alecktra1]

I love your genuinity & ability to self-reflect.

[@sharonf8188]

This was so relaxing to watch and gently motivating which is a nice change from the current trend on KZbin of “get it all done with me” which can be a hurried, flustered pace I find.

[@brysonsatariano1466]

love all your videos margaret!! thanks for showing up in this space 💛

[@kristen2646]

How I wish I could give you a hug and do your laundry! Moving is hard- you are compassionate to recognize this is a major change for Tate's career and the boys as well. May God grant you the ability to go through new routines with ease. I also like to start off with a verse and repeat it during the day.

[@margaretmatheny]

hahahaha thank you!! Honestly, just offering over the internet was helpful. Thank you for your kind words, they are truly uplifting.

[@barbaradibofsky6339]

I love all of this! I tend to go thru my gratitude in my head on my morning walks with my dog. It was interesting listening to your thought process. Even the simple things like a warm blanket are worthy of listing for gratitude! Thank you😀

[@jessicaozbirn847]

Just found you and your channel a few days ago. God always leads us to what we need! I’m grateful for finding your channel and another mama who wants to both grow and find joy in what we already have 😊💕 Thanks for sharing!

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah so glad you're here!

[@DaestrumManitz]

Every day is a new day and a chance for a fresh start. I like the idea of the blank page to use first thing in the morning. Great ideas! 😎

[@michellemiller8069]

Beloved, I’ve watched you before and I just wanted to pop on here and say I love the intentional life you live. I too use to be a triple A/pro baseball wife that traveled had to live minimal plus I had 3 boys to tend to. Last two boys were 18 months apart. It was a tough life to be led. I was young too. 19 or 20 when baseball life began. Ended late 20’s. I had two homes to keep up with as well. I never had the peace that you do during my time as a BB wife and I wish I had. I am now 50 with a total of 5 children and in a season of peace for many years now. Very long story-but redemptive and faithful. I Life in south Florida with 3 boys grown, married, and children of their own now. I’m raising last TWO children ages 16 and 10. The ten year old being last and a girl… Jesus has been my rock and has given and shown me so much redemption. I live intentionally like never before. I don’t have expectations of people like I use to and I allow the Holy Spirit to take care of my worries. I just have a feeling your a breath of fresh air to most women you encounter in the seasons of baseball. You seem to have wisdom beyond your years. Bless you beloved in all you and your family do. I send tender Easter wishes to you as well.

How lucky are we to remember that His mercies are new every morning! Having been in the same situation of nit-picking, I often have to remind myself that we are only human but can still strive to be Christ-like. Often times, we tend to treat those we love the most, the worst and it's because of our closeness, however, being aware and intentional is so important - love this! Know moving is stressful, but hope y'all are starting to settle in!

[@angelakimov384]

I'm right there with you about actually learning to treat my husband like the love of my life that he is! ❤️💙 With you girl 🤝

[@krisd_b]

I'm going to work on speaking kindly to my husband too. Thanks for the idea!

[@haleyjbelieves770]

You encourage me to be so much better than I am and to take things as they are, thank you for sharing your life and your valuable time with us. Don’t ever worry about producing videos, your life is what’s real and precedent!

[@unraveledmotherhood]

[@margaretmatheny]

[@llamaspitstudios8302]

This video blesses me so much this morning when I was avoiding getting up and facing the day. Thank you for calming others even if you feel overwhelmed. Praying God uses every difficulty for good and that you will have peace in it all, deliverance if it be His will.

[@nikkilee143]

Margaret.. do you have a new ‘working on everyday? Do you keep the same list for awhile? How do you keep yourself in check with the list?

[@jjhulce722]

I highly recommend Happy Hymnody if you want to learn hymns with your kids. She chooses one hymn a month and we sing it almost every weekday morning. She offers free beautiful printable and a KZbin for each month. ❤️

[@margaretmatheny]

Oh thank you for this!! I'm going to look it up right now!! Thank you

[@arellasat]

Thank you! Can you do a video talking more about your faith and intentionally living everyday for Jesus and how you manage it with children etc?

[@margaretmatheny]

[@Kayla-yv7wc]

Really enjoyed this

[@margaretmatheny]

So glad, Kayla.

[@Sofik_19]

I have a question about working on section. If you are working on changing sth in your behaviour, it takes several days/weeks to make the change work. Do you write the same thing every day if you are working on that particular behaviour for a week?

[@catherinehelberg7105]

Where did you get your bedframe from?

[@CL-co9lu]

Hi can you tell me which bodysuit you have I went to their website and there are so many different kinds - 🥴 your videos are so helpful!
