We are quickly approaching the Advent season! Yes, Thanksgiving comes first, but Sunday, December 1 is the beginning of Advent (and it ends on Christmas Eve), and it's great to prepare yourself ahead of time!
This is a beautiful season is one of anticipation and preparation. It invites us to step away from the busyness to remember and worship Christ our Savior.
To help you do that, today I'm sharing a variety of resources that I pray will bless your journey through Advent.
MUSIC:
Here are a couple of playlists with Christ-glorifying music to help you set your mind on and worship Jesus. Enjoy!
ADVENT DEVOTIONALS:
Devotionals are great resources that help us renew our minds and remember Christ throughout the season. Below are some suggestions.*
Come Let Us Adore Him, by Paul David Tripp
Unwrapping the Names of Jesus, by Asheritah Ciuciu
Emmanuel, by Ruth Chou Simons
The Dawning of Indestructible Joy, by John Piper
* Because I love the mission of 10 of Those, I have an affiliate partnership with them.
SCRIPTURE WRITING:
Scripture writing is a delightful exercise that helps us slow down and consider each word in the passage. Use this collection of verses to help you meditate on why Jesus came to earth. Two versions are available: 15-day or 25-day.
MOVEMENT TO THE GLORY OF GOD:
Physical activity offers a wide variety of benefits for our overall wellbeing, and it doesn't have to be long or strenuous to make a difference in how you feel! Here are some movement opportunities to support you this season:

2024 HOLIDAY FAITH & WELLNESS GUIDE:
Many women express their frustration with "getting off track" during the holidays. That frustration can then rob us of the joy and blessings of the season. This free resource offers strategies and encouragement to remain steadfast instead. Click the button below to download your copy.
Well, there you go! I pray these resources help you enter Advent with intention and anticipation. If any of them are a blessing to you, please reach out to let me know! I'd love to hear how the Lord uses them in your life.
Grace and peace to you in Christ our Savior,
