Reflecting that one year ago today I was recovering from a hysterectomy. I’m grateful for the journey (yes, I tested out the healing power of chocolate…God is greater – AND calorie-free! LOL) and wanted to share my gratitude with those who could use some encouragement.
I hope you’ll join my One Year Later Virtual Celebration at 7pm ET on Tuesday, 4/1/25…no foolin’! #MoreHearts
Live on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@kayrencathcart
Blessings, Kayren 👍
Are you the type of person who tries to defend yourself when something (or someone) comes against you? Yeah, me too. It gets exhausting trying to fight all the time, doesn’t it?
When Psalm 3:3 popped up on my Bible app, it was a fitting and much-needed reminder as the battle raged all around me. After reading the scripture, I started to think about how we use and benefit from a shield.
We stand behind it and receive the protection we need from an onslaught. True, we COULD go and bonk someone on the head with the shield, but that’s an offensive move, and not the intended way to use the tool we know as a shield.
Therefore, if God is my shield, then what am I doing fighting?
Today, I challenge you to allow GOD to be the shield in your life that He already is. Let’s acknowledge His ability (and strong desire because of His great love for His children) to cover, protect, and defend us from the enemy He has already defeated.
What good news…we can shout the VICTORY now! After the past couple of weeks I’ve had, I’m gonna go ahead and do the same…be encouraged, my friend – God’s GOT US!
In His love, Kayren

“1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.”
(Psalm 3:1-3)
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
(Ephesians 6:16)

If trying to juggle what’s on your plate is getting overwhelming…maybe there’s too much on the plate.
I’m working on this myself…
“33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
(Matthew 6:33-34)

I recently learned that a month-old homemade peanut butter cookie still crunches (and retains its ability to keep you awake during a boring virtual meeting).
Ask me how I know! #UNapologetic #MoreHearts
That is all. 😝
Happy Fri-YAY!
Blessings, Kayren
“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”

As I updated my monthly whiteboard calendar, I started putting a pink heart by the things I was excitedly looking forward to with audible squeals of glee. Unfortunately, they were spaced out too far from each other as I noted the scheduled drudgery of everyday routine. But WHY should I wait another three days until I’m thrilled about something happening in my life?!
I literally exclaimed, “I need more HEARTS in my week! I can’t make it with just ONE per week!”
It was a stunning visual realization that I wasn’t replenishing myself with soul-nourishing activities after participating in the “gotta do” tasks that depleted me throughout the week. With this paradigm shift, I took action to add a HEART for that day…and it left me smiling! One intentional decision and I was in a better headspace; it felt AWESOME!
So I’m on a mission to add MORE HEARTS to each week. Some people refer to them as goals or milestones. (Humor this sparkly unicorn – I’mma call ‘em HEARTS!) #MoreHearts #Hearts EveryDay #Today #Now
To this effect, I’m planning a BIG #MoreHearts virtual event on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 @7pm ET – so save the date if you’re a Christian woman interested in joining me virtually for an event to add joy and gratitude to your life. I’d love to connect with you there!
Because maybe you need MORE HEARTS in your week, too…
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
(Psalm 90:12)
