The Faith We Bring to the Table

I’m in a season I didn’t choose

Sometimes obedience looks like staying in a season you didn’t choose. I’m talking about what it feels like to live in the waiting, to stop fighting what you can’t fix, and to find God in the middle of plans that fell apart. This one’s for the woman still showing up even when she’s over it. ---------------------- 💜 Join ⁠TheSundayPrep.com⁠ [TheSundayPrep.com] to get ready for Mass. 📒 Download the ⁠FREE 7-Day Devotional⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/7-day-psalm-91-daily-devotional] ✏️ Read our ⁠Substack⁠ [https://joycomesmorning.substack.com/] 📺 Watch on ⁠YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/joycomesmorning/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⇢ ⁠Facebook⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/joycomesmorning] ⇢ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@joy.comes.morning] 📧 hello@joycomesmorning.com

My Prayer "Morning Menu" (copy it!)

In this episode, I'm sharing the exact morning practice that changed everything: a simple prayer menu with 10 options that takes less than 3 minutes.

We're talking how to actually feel God's presence before your day gets crazy. 🎥 Watch the Morning Menu video [https://youtube.com/shorts/2_TepLWH2oQ?si=-jxcpt0t84CwBCgU] ---------------------- 💜 Join TheSundayPrep.com [TheSundayPrep.com] to get ready for Mass. 📒 Download the FREE 7-Day Devotional [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/7-day-psalm-91-daily-devotional] ✏️ Read our Substack [https://joycomesmorning.substack.com/] 📺 Watch on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/joycomesmorning/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⇢ Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/joycomesmorning] ⇢ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@joy.comes.morning] 📧 hello@joycomesmorning.com

The Day I Ditched Crystals (and why)

I share the raw, unfiltered journey of how the sudden death of my fiancé and life partner led to a spiritual awakening I never saw coming. From being a cradle Catholic who distanced herself from the faith, to returning with a broken heart. On what would have been a lonely, grief-stricken birthday, I experienced an unexpected spiritual breakthrough that began with pain, confusion, and even physical symptoms. What followed was a powerful encounter with God that led me to throw away crystals, tarot cards, and manifestation journals and find my way back to confession after 25 years. I speak honestly about struggling with panic attacks, spiritual heaviness, and skepticism, and how Psalm 91 became my lifeline in the night. My story is a testament to God’s mercy, the healing power of the sacraments, and the mysterious ways grace works. ---------------------- 💜 Join ⁠TheSundayPrep.com⁠ [TheSundayPrep.com] to get ready for Mass. 📒 Download the ⁠FREE 7-Day Devotional⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/7-day-psalm-91-daily-devotional] ✏️ Read our ⁠Substack⁠ [https://joycomesmorning.substack.com/] 📺 Watch on ⁠YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/joycomesmorning/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⇢ ⁠Facebook⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/joycomesmorning] ⇢ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@joy.comes.morning] 📧 hello@joycomesmorning.com

How I became a widow (-ish)

After hitting publish, I realized that I didn't really explain why I added the -ish after widow. And it is because I'm not really a widow. We were not married. We got engaged in April 2022 and he died 16 months later. We had plans to marry in early 2024 in Puerto Rico (where I'm from). So... am I really a widow? Not legally. Not in the Catholic Church. But most of the time, I do feel like one. What do you think? Are you in a similar situation? When the unthinkable happened, losing my fiancé and partner of 11 years, I was left holding more than grief. I was holding our son, our memories. In this raw and deeply personal episode, I open up about the day my life changed forever, the spiritual silence that followed, and how grief challenged everything I believed about faith, love, and divine presence. If you’re a woman of faith who’s ever felt abandoned in your suffering, this episode is for you. ---------------------- 💜 Join ⁠TheSundayPrep.com⁠ [TheSundayPrep.com] to get ready for Mass. 📒 Download the ⁠FREE 7-Day Devotional⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/7-day-psalm-91-daily-devotional] ✏️ Read our ⁠Substack⁠ [https://joycomesmorning.substack.com/] 📺 Watch on ⁠YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/joycomesmorning/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⇢ ⁠Facebook⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/joycomesmorning] ⇢ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@joy.comes.morning] 📧 hello@joycomesmorning.com

The Faith We Bring to the Table

Lately, my son and I have been spending more time in the kitchen and it’s reminded me of when my grandma taught me how to cook at his age. What started as “teaching him life skills” has turned into something deeper: connection, memory, and grace showing up. In this episode, I’m talking about how food becomes sacred when it’s shared with love. About how faith doesn’t just live in prayer or church pews, but around the table and stories that keep generations tied together. Because sometimes the most ordinary act is the holiest thing you’ll do all day. ---------------------- 💜 Join ⁠TheSundayPrep.com⁠ [TheSundayPrep.com] to get ready for Mass. 📒 Download the ⁠FREE 7-Day Devotional⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/7-day-psalm-91-daily-devotional] ✏️ Read our ⁠Substack⁠ [https://joycomesmorning.substack.com/] 📺 Watch on ⁠YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.joycomesmorning.com/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/joycomesmorning/] ⇢ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@thesundayprep/shorts] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⇢ ⁠Facebook⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/joycomesmorning] ⇢ ⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@joy.comes.morning] 📧 hello@joycomesmorning.com
