What Am I Consuming Daily? It is a question I have been asking myself more and more. I wake up knowing I need to pray and read the Bible, but instead I reach for my phone. When I finally get a free moment in the middle of the chaos, the cooking, the cleaning, the diaper changes, I know I should read the Word. But instead, I search for ideas on how to Bible journal or look for a podcast to listen to. When the Day Slips Away Suddenly it is evening. I still have not read. Now I am too tired, so I try to wind down with my favorite show, thinking I am doing myself a service.

Welcome to Gospel Guided Living. I'm Ivana. Follower of Jesus , a devoted wife , and a mother of three. For a long time, I felt the world was getting a little too loud, so I decided to step back and find a calmer way to share my heart.

I see modesty not as something forced, but as a reflection of a heart that wants to honor God. Life is not always perfect. Navigating health with Hashimoto’s disease has taught me to move at a gentler pace and to trust God in every season. My hope is that this space can be an encouragement to other women and mothers who are also seeking a slower, more intentional path. I am so glad you found your way here. With love, Ivana
