How to walk in bold faith and courage today
The truth is, Holy Spirit desires to encounter His children! Many times more often than we are willing to open our mouths to share when we feel the prompting of His Spirit.

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!
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.
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.
When life is hard and painful and all we see and hear and feel is pain, look up, can you hear Him calling, calling you closer. This giant that is before you will not destroy you. God will see us through.
When I tell you God is kind. I know Him to be kind. I have seen His kindness in my life over and over again, even in seasons of deep pain.
He will not leave us alone. He will meet us. He will cause His joy to arise deep within us, even in sorrow.
Because joy is not dependent on our circumstances but on who He is! He is joy. He is Peace. And He offers these to us, amidst the disappointments and pain. He offers us Himself.
When my heart is overwhelmed I cry out to God. If I am not able to step away from the situation I silently pray. If it is an issue with one of my children, I will pray out loud with and without them.
I want you to know that God truly does desire to bring us hope and healing, salvation, each and every single day, and in every moment. He wants to be our all and all.
When my mind is spiraling with all the negative thoughts, I know I can count on Him to help me. How?
Because His Word tells us in Romans 8:32, “He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with Him also give us all things.”
What a promise! I needed to hear this. In the midst of trials and tribulations and everyday hard moments I need this hope. God cares. God sees. God will help.
A lot of times in my life when I feel out of control I work overtime at the things I “feel” I can control, at the time, keeping a clean home. As we’ve added more children it has grown more difficult to do this, but I have also learned to not grow so angry over the shoes and toys scattered through out our home.
