God used rest to show my stubborn heart that He’s in charge
God used rest to show my stubborn heart that He’s in charge and the one doing the heavy lifting in my life, not me. And more than that, He made me realize that I should be GRATEFUL to serve a God who requires me to rest. I mean, what boss has EVER told you to intentionally rest once a week so you can bring them glory?
Could choosing to trade our fear and anxiety for His peace really be as simple as remembering who He is? It truly is.
On October 17th of Jesus Calling, Sarah Young tells us “Anxiety is a result of envisioning the future without Me.” Could choosing to trade our fear and anxiety for His peace really be as simple as remembering who He is? It truly is. There is grace for our flesh, for our fear, but our God is never leaving us. He is walking right alongside you today in whatever it is you’re facing. Know you’re not alone and no matter your outcome or next step, He is right by your side.God, you promise us your p...
Godly Women Aren't Perfect
We become so consumed with the “what ifs” and risk of failure that we forget our God is waiting on us. He is waiting for us to run to Him, to confide in Him, to surrender to Him. When we become consumed with our fears of making the wrong move, we find ourselves not moving at all. Remember this: Godly women aren’t perfect. Godly women walk alongside Him in every decision they make knowing at some point they may stumble and their flesh will fail but He is by our side forever. Think about one ar...
God is able to use all situations for our good
God is an ever-present help in our times of need, and we can find our strength and solace in who He is, even when our circumstances are bleak. God is able to use all situations for good, and we must trust that even when our prayers aren’t answered the way we would like them to be, God will still be there to be our refuge, give us strength, and help us find purpose in our pain.
Do you believe heaven is fighting for you today?
Lord, we thank you for the promise of your comfort. You are the only One who could ever provide lasting tranquility. Thank you for being the loving, trustworthy and caring Father that you are, wrapping us in your loving arms anytime we need you. Amen.
I am weak. You are strong. Be strong in me.
Lord, I am weak. You are strong. Be strong in me. Amen.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.- Philippians 4:13
Our GOD is our strength. Does that take some pressure off today? I know it does for me. I see an immediate difference in my ability to show up to my daily grind the moment I shift my enneagram three personality of: success = strength toknowing my God = strength.Judges chapter 16 illustrates the story of an emotionally and physically broken Samson who sought the Lord’...
Do you desire your plan more than God's?
God has a purpose and a plan for us... and it's better than we could ever imagine. But what if it's hard to believe that? 1 Corinthians 2:9 says “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him. That means even when our plans are the ones are hearts desire right now, we have to trust that He's lovingly working things together for a more important reason. Just because we can't see or understand how He's wor...
You are Healed and Called
It was February of 2017. I was a young professional living in Dallas, working consistent 80+ hour weeks working my way up the ladder in my sports marketing career. I knew Jesus intimately and was surrounded by a close community of women seeking to know Him more. I was completely under the impression that the box was checked, that I was doing the right things but in reality was completely oblivious to the way the Lord wanted me to really know Him. Have you been there? Unaware of the deeper int...
You are Chosen
Today we are talking about what it means that the God of the universe chose us to be His. For me, the gravity of being chosen hits most deeply as I get older and find myself surrounded with more and more intentional friendships. To be chosen means that we are seen for who we are, loved where we are, and challenged to be the best version of ourselves. I see this in my marriage and deepest adult friendships. We meet our people where they are, do not require performance in exchange for love, and...
Ever feel like true trust is just too hard? Trust is a wrestling match and that's okay.
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29). Today, we are talking about trust. We often feel shame when we struggle with Trust but can I drop a hard truth over us this morning? Our wrestling to trust Him, our struggle to know Him, our CHOICE to surrender the same desires of our heart over and over again honors Him. Saying, “Hey Lord, I’m going to open a bookstore and hope you’ll bless it” is not trust. Strategically praising Him for His goodness when it feels con...
