Hey there! I’m Mikala—a wife, mother of 5, family doctor, well-being advocate, and the author of Ordinary on Purpose. Each month, my writing reaches millions of women, but I am thrilled to be connecting with YOU. I’m truly grateful to have you here!

I remember that I am not wired to carry the weight of the world. It isn’t fair.
Is it here? Maybe here? Maybe once I get there? Or maybe if I could just have what SHE has?
Yep, I think this is the year to grow a little closer to the best version of ME I can be. And LOVE me.
Because usually it’s in my pain that I’m reminded of His ridiculous, unending, unfailing love.
Stop ‘handing it over’ then continuing to lose sleep and micromanage what you’ve placed in God’s hands.
Sometimes I remember to loosen my grip. And sometimes I even raise my arms and close my eyes against the wind rushing in my face. Wheeeee!!!!
I KNOW one day I’ll stand back to see the beautiful result of my breathtakingly ordinary life.
The DO-ing won’t ever be enough. Not for Jesus. That’s not what He’s looking for, really. Over and over and over, He invites me to something deeper.
He just goes on loving me anyway. Forgiving me anyway. Waiting for me to return to Him. Again.
And every day instead of feeling overwhelmed, I can CHOOSE to be grateful...
BE PRESENT right where you are. Notice the simple, ordinary moments of your life. There is LIFE all around you. And those things are CERTAIN.
What exactly am I supposed to DO now? Is there something I can DO, God?? About ANY of this??
Why can’t we all just get along?? Why can’t anyone seem to do the right thing?? What the hell is wrong with the world????
Maybe the next time life doesn’t go as planned, we can have faith that His perfect plans will be SO MUCH BIGGER.
I forget how small I am in the grand scheme of things. I forget over and over and over I am not in control.
We’ll look back years from now and say there was a time before 2020…and now there’s an after. We have never been the same.
You guys, He has time!!! All the time in the world. For me. For her. For you. He can carry it all!!
