The Pressure Is Off

The Pressure Is Off

Isaiah 40:31 “But they who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not be faint.”

Does anyone else immediately get the scene from the movie “Remember the Titans” in their mind when they hear this scripture? Ha. If not, I urge you to stop what you’re doing and stream either the full heartwarming film or find this specific scene on YouTube because it is POWERFUL. I’ll set the scene: a rowdy bunch of teenage boys on the football team prepping for social “battle” in their newly racially integrating high school gather in the gym. One of them starts quoting this scripture and another joins in and soon the whole group is rallied together in unity. They even put a little melodic rhythm to it, and it is catchy to say the least. 

Y’all, they are hyping one another up with God’s promises. His Word. What better way is there? What could be more solid? It’s my hope that His truth could light my soul on fire similar to this dynamic movie scene! Because COME ON, let’s go! 

It’s not that we are promised that our lives will be easy or perfect ~ I’m sure we ALL can attest to that fact. But we are promised a strength unlike anything that we can imagine. He’s with us every step of the way and the battle has already been won, so the pressure is off of us. All we need to do is show up and He will be faithful. What do I know? Our God is a promise-keeper, so we can rest easy.

Obedience never leaves us empty - part 8 of 8

May 25, 2023

Despite how unpredictable (and almost always, uncomfortable) life is, our God is steady. Choosing to live out our belief that His goodness is worth choosing in the present changes everything. Trials will always be present but the same is true of His goodness. Let’s not miss the good stuff before us through the distraction of the search for it.

Refined by interruption - part 6 of 8
Refined by interruption - part 6 of 8

May 25, 2023

We all know what happened in 2020. We are all far too familiar. Uniquely for this business, 2020 was a year we were refined by interruption. Our first event was a success so this enneagram 3 entrepreneur subconsciously decided we’d be hosting similar events every year. Wrong. God keeps me humble when he throws a wall up right in the middle of my plans. This business has never been one to stay the same year-over-year, which is comical if you know my personality and preference for routine. I’v...
