Hey there! I am sure that you know about the amazing ministry, Blessed Is She. This beautiful ministry for Catholic Women has created so many incredible resources for Catholic Women--communities, daily reflections, liturgical studies, beautiful planners, and so much more. It feels like Blessed Is She has just always existed (what did we do before their daily emails?) but the truth is that this ministry is only 4 years old! That's right, just 4 years ago, Jenna Guizar, a busy Momma, decided that we Catholic Ladies needed a beautiful ministry, similar to the ones she had seen out in the Protestant world. She was right. Many women jumped in to help her, the team and the audience grew, and continues to grow to this day. For all of these reasons, I was excited to bring Jenna onto the podcast so we all could hear about the girl behind Blessed Is She. As Jenna shares in the podcast, Blessed Is She's goal is to help women grow in Christ-Centered friendships, and they have been an incredible force for building communities for catholic women...all over the world! Blessed Is She runs a number of thriving regional Facebook groups (you can find your group right here), and encourages local members of the community to host what they call Blessed Brunches, where Catholic women can meet in person and grow in real friendship. In the episode Jenna also shares about how Blessed Is She has transformed her own life. Just like me, Jenna was not perfect before she started this ministry, and is still working on that perfection ;). She felt led to start this ministry, so she just plunged right in! She refused to be limited by fear and instead she went ahead with this big idea and has been fed and transformed along with many of the members of the community she founded. If you are still looking for a beautiful Advent Devotional, I encourage you to check out BEARING LIGHTfrom Blessed Is She. It is an incredibly beautiful study for Catholic Women that focuses on the Magnificat. Also, Blessed Is She is up to something very exciting right now! Jenna and her team are currently in IRELAND hosting a Blessed Is She Wild retreat! Join me in prayer that the retreat is a success and they travel safely! Finally, as I mentioned in the podcast, if you are still looking for an Advent resource for your family, I encourage you to check out all of the ideas I have right here: dosmallthingswithlove.com/advent. I hope you are well--and if you are in the US, have a blessed Thanksgiving tomorrow! Your sister in the small things, Nancy

We are so excited to share this interview we did with our good friend Jenna Guizar. Jenna is the founder and creative director of Blessed is She, a Catholic women’s community committed to deepening a life of prayer starting with daily Scripture devotionals and supportive sisterhood. We had a great and heartfelt conversation with Jenna about her ministry, how she balances work and life with 4 children (including one cute newborn who was also a guest on our podcast!), and just her journey of faith and how she abides together with her people. Hope you enjoy this rich conversation.

How have deep friendships with people of faith supported you during the highs and lows of life? How can you practically make more room in your life to journey and abide together with a small group? Journal Questions: What area in your life do you need to believe and trust that God will be faithful to His promises?  Have you ever felt like you don't "fit inside the box"? If so, how might God be calling you to offer your unique gifts to your community/church/family?

Jenna Guizar and Jessie Pepper chat about everything from cutting curfews to crumbling relationships. In this episode you'll hear about: Embarrassing music preferences. From Jason Mraz to Eminem. Workout tunes that provide the best soundtrack to all of your sweat sessions. The Love Diet. When your first date jitters give you unbelievable nausea, but then you pass the honeymoon phase and find yourself constantly binging on burritos. (Oh that's not a thing? Ok, just me then.) Jenna nibbled on chicken wings while Jessie went for an extra serving of Mongolian BBQ. Being besties with your boo. Building a romantic relationship with a dear friend can provide a beautiful foundation for your story. (Might want to make sure both people are aware of the relationship at some point, but it's a good start.) A gaggle of girls. The Guizars have three darling daughters, but there is a decent possibility that they'll end up having three more! Jenna will keep us posted on whether or not they can sneak a boy in there. ;) Laughing together. Not everyone understands how much fun it is to make fun of each other in a playful way. Jessie's theory is: When marriages are rooted in friendship, you never have to question when is the right time to start goofing off. (Plus, we know from Marriage is Funny that it's important to find humor in every mess.) Being married to someone in ministry. If your partner's identity is tied to their service or their work, it can be SO difficult when their call or career changes and they end up losing their sense of self. Individual self-worth plays a huge part in all marriages, but building each other up is the best way to strengthen that bi-directional bond. Communal living. The "village mentality" can be so impactful, and there's nothing like having a huge range of friends to help you raise your kids. Jenna reminds us how important it is to have friends (and BE the friend) who will hold women up when others need hope. Bridging the gap between moms and ministry. Jenna started an organization called Blessed is She and their mission is to encourage women right where they are.  Tell people when you need help. Being vulnerable with people that you trust (or in our case: the entire world, via the internet) can bring about incredible blessings when it comes to personal growth. Remember that honesty breeds goodness, and shame cannot live in the dark. Jenna talks about what it's like to almost give up on a crumbling marriage, but her saving grace was a pep-talk from a friend about belief and the chance to rebuild. Jenna says: “When both of us put our own selves aside and lift up the other, that is when Great Love is magnified in our home.” To find out more, follow Jenna on twitter and check out Blessed is She for a dose of inspiration, encouragement, and scripture.
