Encouragement Along the Journey of Life.
How do you survive trial by fire? Allow yourself to go to the secret place with God. Discover who He is. And then you will begin to discover who YOU are.And when you discover who He has made you to be, you will realize that He was just uncovering the warrior within you. -Anne Day
This is why growth is so important. Without bringing God into our corner daily, the temptation for sin will be too great for us to withstand on our own. We need His daily reminder of WHO we are. The more we move away from that reminder of who we are, the easier it is to... Continue Reading →
Growing in Jesus is one of the most important things we can do. It keeps us out of religious-pharisee territory, and helps us remain our authentic selves. Once we stop growing, and get lazy (present company included), we have to start "faking it." That is, until the inevitable burn-out and breaking-point ensues in our faith.... Continue Reading →
After being "so done" with people-pleasing, and being used by people, I went on a journey of what I thought would make me happy. And I choose isolation and selfishness. It only spiraled down from there and I found myself in a pit of worthlessness. I didn't know if God loved me, or if he... Continue Reading →
We like to think we're a good person because we do things for other people. But there was a time in my life all of my "doing" was motivated by wanting to be loved and accepted by others. I considered "being a good person" a part of my identity. In reality, my people-pleasing was selfish,... Continue Reading →
I am so grateful today for God’s love. I wouldn't trade a million perfect days for my pain if it meant I never got to know what it was like to be held by Him. To be loved by Him as a broken person. I wouldn't trade any of it, and I wouldn't change a... Continue Reading →
We are given an incredible gift of the souls who come across our path. The question is, will we live for ourselves? OR will we speak life, and give love, treating others as the treasure that God created them to be?#eternalperspective #walkinginpurpose #createdwithpurpose #surrendertogod #faithjourney #identityinchrist #lifereview #heaven
If I could spend the rest of my life studying the word of God, I'd be a happy camper. But sometimes, all I get is a few words in a day in my reading.But God is so faithful! Even with just a few words, the Holy Spirit begins to bring those words to mind throughout... Continue Reading →
He loved us while we were yet sinners. Who does that? What kind of God does that?! That tells us something about who He is, and how he sees us: priceless. And sin can't, and will never change that. The beautiful thing is, when we come to Him He changes us from the insideout so... Continue Reading →
The anchor keeps you from going adrift. Remember that!
I woke up one morning a few weeks back completely overwhelmed by the love of God. I keep trying to wrap my mind around this thought: the pitiful creatures that we were, God felt we were worth the price of His perfect son. I can't even! 🤯The God of the universe sees us with an... Continue Reading →
One day God showed me a picture of my spirit-what I had done to it-in part, by placing my worth in other people's opinions. I was a hard-cord people pleaser until I wasn't. I got burnt out pleasing people, but then apathy settled in and took the place of people-pleasing (as it always does). I... Continue Reading →
Chapter 3: A Mite of Faith~ It was a conundrum, really. Somewhere between my dream and God's beckoning, I was terrified. In spite of all the doors serendipitously opening in front of us to move across the country, all the pieces falling together perfectly and a constant nudging from God, I still couldn't see what...
