Jesus Christ tore the veil for you and I to approach our King with confidence.
He tells us we have the ability to approach His Throne of Grace because of the finished work of His Son Jesus Christ.
What does this mean for you and I?
Everything.
Christs sacrifice paid for our lives! Literally.
He took us from the domain of darkness and He transplanted us into His Kingdom!
His Kingdom of light.
Sister, we have such turmoil and torment in our minds at times because often, what we are carrying is far too heavy for us.
How do I know this?
Because He has said, “Cast all of your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
Sister, the word for ‘all’ in this passage means all. The word for burden is “pasan” meaning a heavy burden carried on the shoulder.
The Lord wants you to give Him every single care. Hold nothing back for yourself.
He wants ALL of our cares. All that worries us. All that keeps us up at night. All of it.
Come and see how this is possible!
There have been seasons in my life where I was running full speed ahead, devouring as much of Gods Word as I possible could.
There have also been seasons in my life when all I read was a single verse for the day.
There were yet other seasons where I would be sitting in the closet weeping before God with my bible open. Trying to read the words, but tears would not stop.
Sister, which of these times do you think Father was most pleased with?
The truth is, I would have told you the very first.
I would have said He wants my all or nothing. He wants me running full speed towards Him, I would have told you.
And yet, I can recall a time when Fathers love broke through my limiting beliefs and set me free.
Come and see and be experience the beauty of hiding His Word with me.
Our brains are incredible sister.
They will believe what we tell them. If we focus on everything that is “wrong” with us, guess what will loop in our minds?
Discover with me a new way to live! Come and see!
I want to share with you easy and practical steps to help you to love the home you are in today!
More than anything I want us to be good stewards of the homes Father has placed us in.
More than anything I want us to learn to be content when we have much and when we have little.
Let’s dream together with God!
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.
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.
I used to often wonder, why is it so difficult for some of us to find joy in simple seemingly insignificant, mundane every day moments.
I don’t often wonder that anymore as the more I live the more that I see, we compare our lives so much to others.
Some of us gage how good of a day we are having based on what someone else is doing.
If someone is on vacation having an amazing time and I’m “stuck” at home washing dishes and changing dirty diapers their life appears to be so much better than mine.
Sister, this just isn’t the truth.
For most of us, we can’t just pick up and go on vacation, and many times after months of plan we might still not be able to travel very far from home.
I want to invite you on a journey of enjoying the simple mundane moments and adding more beauty into our everyday lives.
Every single day, multiple times a day. I am met with a decision, a choice. Will I listen to fear?
Or will I be content in the unknown. Will I rest in the unchanging nature of God.
Or will I listen to the voice of control that demands I find all the answers and try to figure out life all on my own.
Will I trust God and wait on His timing. Or will I run ahead of Him?
Everyday we get to make a choice to run to Father with the worries, fears and anxiety that arise.
The Lord does not want us to run in fear.
But in trust and confident assurance that God will once again meet us in our uncertainty. Meet us in the in between.
Lets discover how to be content even when life is difficult and feels uncertain.
What if the truth is we are all longing for community? Every single one of us, but we just don’t know how.
Does life feel too busy? Too messy, to invite others in?
Slowly we are being isolated, conditioned for loneliness.
While we are slowly dying, desiring for human connection.
The Lord extends His hand and say’s
“I have life for you, life abundant, eternal.”
Every time I sit with dear friends at least once I will say, I have no idea why I am sharing this with you.
Sister, I have no idea why, but God does! He knows the questions we’ve been wrestling with. The trauma we are fighting hard to overcome.
The loneliness we have been fighting. The betrayal. The abuse. He knows it all. And He has provided His daughters, you and I for one another!
It is for our good, for His glory that we come together!
Come and see.
