Walking in PEACE

09/20/2026

Life has been flying by lately. Between the kids starting school, working, and trying to be more intentional with my time, it feels like the days are going by faster than ever🤍

Last weekend, I got baptized, and it was truly the most beautiful day. I’m still so incredibly grateful for that moment and for everyone who shared it with me.

Lately, I’ve been seeing God in the little things! Had a fun evening with my kids, picking flowers with my best friend, laughing with friends, slowing down, and simply enjoying the details🌷🌷🌷🌷

I’m learning to be more present and grateful for these moments because they may seem small, but they are some of the biggest blessings. God is reminding me to slow down, look around, and appreciate the life He has given me!!!

I started to take my notes this morning as I was reading and this entire page was just too good to summarize!!!

Unshakable Hope by Max Lucado

I’m still at the beginning but I’ve made so many highlights and notes in just the first 30 pages. Can’t wait to give the full book rec💛

What I’ve learned in John 🌸

💛 John 3:29–36 💛 If you have time to read it, I definitely recommend it!

“He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.” (John 3:30)

This passage really reminded me that, at the end of the day, it’s not about me. It’s about God.

Sometimes I get caught up in my own plans, my own worries, or how I’m being seen by others. But my life is only one small piece of the bigger story God is writing. My purpose is to point people to Him, love others well, and help make disciples.

Something else that has stood out to me while reading John is that Jesus is called the Word. The Word was with God in the beginning, and the Word is God. The more I read, the more I want my life to reflect that truth.

My prayer is that I would become less, so that God would become greater in every part of my life🌸

(I did NOT make this)

Sometimes we need to take a moment and realize what’s going on in our thought process. Is this God or am I getting scammed up here by my own thoughts and other influence?!?

I’m starting a series next week. Follow along, I’m going to start in John so we can get to know Jesus a little better💛

First time listening to the Podcast Becoming Something🎧

Several good take aways from the random episode I picked. They talked about praying for wisdom and how if you pray for wisdom you should pray for courage to go along with it. What a way to pray to ask for the courage to go through what you’ve been praying for. They also mentioned being “10 toes down” with obedience to hear and respond. I’ll definitely be adding them to my list to listen to💛 There was a book rec for Living Fearless by Jamie Winship…added to my TBR!!

Listening and hearing God over your own voice can be hard. I challenge you to sit with the Lord and just listen. What is the Holy Spirit putting on your heart today?

I finally got to watch these girls on Whoa That’s Good. They are an amazing group of gals to follow! Clean, funny, Christian content what more could you ask for. I absolutely love listening to Sadie’s podcast.

I just watched one of her talks in Sunday class about anxiety. I took lots of notes there too. Something that stuck with me was her talking about how five seconds of awkward could save a life time of regret. I often pause or keep to myself in certain situations because I don’t want those few seconds or minutes of awkwardness but what if the conversation impacts someone? Sadie talks with such grace and a few versus she mentioned was Jeremiah 29:11, Isaiah 41:10, and Philippians 4:6-8

Sadie sits down with the witty women behind Southern Mom Vault, the...

Let’s talk book recs 📚

These two books are by the lovely couple Preston and Jacky Perry, and I absolutely loved them. I’m an audiobook girly!! I love listening while I get chores done, but these books had me stopping so I could grab my notes app. At one point, I even sat down with my journal while reading Preston’s How to Tell the Truth. His words were very inspiring.

These were such great reads, and I gave them both 5 stars. Of course, the Bible will always be number one, but book recommendations are going to be a big part of this page too.

Happy reading💛

My name is Lena (Lay-na)💛

I created Walking in Peace as a place to share my faith journey, the lessons God is teaching me, and encouragement from His Word.

This page isn’t about gaining followers or pretending to have it all together. It’s simply about walking with Jesus one day at a time, growing in faith, and pointing others to the peace that can only be found in Him.

Whether you’re just beginning your walk with Christ, finding your way back to Him like I am, or have been following Him for years, my prayer is that something shared here reminds you that you’re never alone and that God is always faithful.

Thank you for being here. I’m excited to see how God uses this little corner of the internet🌼🌼🌼
