Not to Worry
You, my friend, are capable of walking through hard situations with boldness and confidence, trusting that God is right there with you. There may be chaos happening around us but we get to show up with a boldness and a peace that transcends any worry- trusting that God is our ultimate provider. He is our road and staff in any darkness. Thank you, Jesus, for making a way for us to live in peace, without any worry, regardless of our circumstances!

Take hope in 2021! Jesus is the lamp beneath our feet. Walk into each day this year with the confidence that the brightness of Jesus shines through you and you have access to the Light right now and in the days to come!

Here's to a God that is GREATER, STRONGER, WISER, and more loving than we will ever be able to comprehend but get to rest in, believe in, and hope for every day.I love y'all,Britt
No battle is too big for our God
Do you always believe that we love and serve a God that chooses to be in our midst, that will rejoice over you with gladness, quiet you by his love, and exult over you with loud singing? Every time I read over each of those statements in scripture, my heart swells with gladness. We love and worship a God that CHOOSES to be in our midst. He is fully present where we are. If we pray to have eyes to see His goodness and mercy in the day, we would see His grace woven all throughout our day. Even ...
You don’t really need Jesus if you’re comfortable.
Ephesians 3:12 says “we have boldness through him, and free access as kings before the Father because of our complete confidence in Christ’s faithfulness.”That means we don’t have to live scared. We don’t have to be afraid of risk, failure, or making the wrong decision. Because we have access to our Father and the power of the Holy Spirit living within us, we can rest assured that He will fill us with wisdom and discernment to do His will. And because of Christ’s faithfulness on the cross, we...
Believing is Striving to Seek His Face
I used to wonder what believing looked like with the heart. God has truly revealed to me that it is as simple as longing for and remaining in a relationship with Him. Believing is striving to seek His face (Psalm 27:8), no matter what life throws your way. It doesn’t mean striving to be perfect, but instead, strive to allow His glory to shine brightly through the weaknesses! The relentless pursuit of such a defined love begins with accepting the gift of Jesus. Nothing is more important than ...
Our God Doesn't Cancel Without The Intent To Re-Create
Our God doesn’t cancel without the intent to re-create. He is our “answer” to our “unanswered”, and our redeemer against all odds and all hope. Don’t give this the power to break you or shake you, but believe in faith this too will beautifully re-shape you. “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good; to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
Growing Gratitude In The Graveyard
For the longest time I underestimated just how much power lies in our gratitude. Grumbling seems to come much more naturally, whereas gratitude may tend to be cultivated or grown over time. Unrest and exhaustion are glorified as the norm, and positivity isn’t talked about nearly as much as negativity.
Should it have to be this way?
I grew my gratitude in my graveyard. Crazy right? My life in this particular season was as painfully desolate like the most barren desert imaginable. If anythin...
Rest Over Worry
The first step of discovering true rest involves surrendering all things to God by acknowledging our innate need for rest. Oftentimes we find it hard to believe that the Bible specifically calls us to rest because we have become wired to operate in a world that teaches us we are to actively fight, lead the charge, never stop working, and always be aiming for the next thing. How easy it is to get lost in the whirlwind of measurements and judgments of the flesh when we operate on these principl...
