Totally up for this. I feel I have spent a lot of time looking at other people’s lanes recently and need to refocus on who God has called me to be, thank you for the reminder ❤️

I’d say I’ve been on a diversion due to “roadworks” - AKA a baby added to our family as a sweet blessing. But I’m slowly rejoining the road I was on, getting back to more reading, writing, and creating. And then I’ll remember to stay in my own lane!!

Love this! “Stay in your own lane” is our 2023-2024 homeschool motto. It came to me last spring as what we really needed to focus on for the upcoming school year and it quickly became the gift that kept on giving.

Love it - it has been a strong theme through my mothering years 🙌

Well said! I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty in this process. 💙 It is exciting to be alongside other moms who are growing and learning and stepping forward in what is Life-giving for them.

If I'm honest, some days I can't remember what my lane looks like.

Time to remember, Danielle 🤗

I hear you on that Danielle! The experimentation process can be tricky. I try to remind myself that anything that doesn't work is progress in moving towards what does. (Ex: I have learned 20 different ways of doing laundry that do not work for me!) 🤪🤣

Oh, I am feeling this, as well. I tell my boys to stay in their own lane often. However, our homeschool, and my personal life, could use this reminder, as well. I have slowly been cutting back my social media time, but plan to follow you in making it an even smaller part of my life in 2024.

That’s a good analogy 😁

Honestly, I am looking for a breakthrough in our family in 2024. I pray God will continue to be glorified thru our family.
