How to encourage yourself in The Lord today
As we follow His leading and seek His Kingdom we can trust Him to take care of everything else that needs to be taken of.
Promise.
Come and see.

The beauty of receiving Gods comfort and love and giving Him our pain is that He will take it, yoke us to Himself and hand in hand show us how we can partner with Him to bring beauty in the midst of the pain we are carrying.
Come and see.
These seasons of walking through tremendous heartbreak will not be wasted.
Somehow, someway, In Gods love and mercy He will see us through. He will comfort us. He will bring beauty from our ashes.
Come see how.
The way we renew our minds. The way we WIN the fight against the enemy of our souls is by presenting ourselves as a living sacrifice to our God, and then we will be able to not conform to the patters of this world.
It is then and only then, that we will be transformed by the renewing of our minds and when we are transformed and renewed in our minds we will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, His good, pleasing and perfect will.
It is simple.
But it is not easy.
There is a real fight.
But I want you to know, you have everything you need to live a life that is surrendered to God. All you need is you. Because that is all He requires, you, all of you.
Sister, His Son Jesus is worthy of our sacrifice.
I hold on to these promises when the attacks come, “you pushed me with violence but The Lord came to my defense.” God WILL come to our defense.
His peace is a free gift of His Spirit.
It is Who He is. Giver of Peace, for He is peace Himself.
One of the nine fruits of the spirit, given to you and I, these are outlined in Galatians 5:22-23
Sister, whatever you are walking through today, I want to invite you to rest in the abiding Presence of Our Savior King.
He will never leave us, nor forsake us. No matter how it feels today, let these be the words you speak.
“The Lord is my defense, my very present help in time of trouble.”
Speak His Word, back to Him.
Digging deeper into what it means to have peace, even in unknowns, even in pain. Even here.
So often in my life, the life of the people around me, we battle guilt, shame and condemnation over the ways we respond or react to certain situations.
Often the way we react has a lot to do with our upbringing and the way our brain has been wired.
God has hope for us. Peace that stays.
I have often sat with The Lord and have inquired of Him.
Trying to make sense of the mystery of peace.
How can one person go through so much turmoil and yet, Gods peace is evident in their lives?
Hear me, this doesn’t mean we never get scared, shaken. feel afraid, nervous about a situation, unsure.
What it does mean is that we run to Him who knows us by Name. When we go to the source, Our true King, we lean not on our own understanding.
We begin to trust in Him. As we trust in Him it is He who makes our paths straight.
Who sends those friends to pour into you when you really needed them to.
Come and stay in peace with me.
Father has joy for us. Peace for us. Laughter and yes, even fun! So much fun!
The enemy?
He comes to kill, steal and to destroy.
Of course he doesn’t want us to rejoice in the life that we have.
He wants us to be miserable and to question Gods goodness, to doubt His provision.
All things I have done.
Because when clarity leaves, confusion sets in and causes much chaos in our minds.
I invite you see with me the beauty and the fun that is present here and now.
The myths that keep us lonely.
For years I had this belief that everything needed to be perfect.
That people were coming over only to look at my house.
To see my mess.
To tear me down. To inspect with a white glove.
To talk about me to other people.
I would stress over my home being clean.
Until one day when everything changed, I want to share with you the tips that have helped me to open up my home.
In seasons of joy and in seasons of grief.
Get excited about having friends over, hosting made simple.
Hope takes courage.
Because believing He will fill us with hope and the ability to love again will take courage. A courage that only He can provide.
Even the faith to ask will have to come from Him, and I fully believe that if you ask Him He will provide it, because it aligns with His will for our lives.
