The Lord was calling me away.
He had provided and was sending me on a retreat with some other women to get quiet and allow Him to heal some broken places in my heart.

We all have them beloved, and often the healing comes in layers. A little at a time. I trust my God to know how much to press on those wounded places so that the dross leaves.

I had a feeling this was one of those weekends so I wasn’t looking forward to it. But in God’s economy hard can equal good. So I went anticipating the growth that would follow.

Still we have an enemy and he is real. He placed multiple things in my way to keep me from going.

I finally left town but pulled off the road in frustration. I was going to be an hour late. Should I even go?

After some prayer, a few tears and a chat on the phone with my son, I took a deep breath and pulled back onto the road.

It was quiet, it was green all around me and there was this love note in the sky!

Our God is so gracious beloved.

When God calls you, GO! Even and especially when it’s hard.

He only has good intentions towards you!

Say yes to the hard and watch Him make them beautiful. You are His beloved.

Don’t be afraid little flock because your Father delights to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32

“When you did awesome things which we did not ex

“When you did awesome things which we did not expect,
You came down the mountains quaked at your presence.” Isaiah 64:3

I Love this verse and read it often because it reminds me that God does things that we do not expect.

He is a BIG God beloved. Sometimes I think we don’t look for Him to do the unexpected because we want to protect our hearts from disappointment.

But what if we came to Him with open hands and open hearts asking Him to do the unexpected? What might we see him do?

The next verse tells us,
“From days of old, they have not heard or perceived by ear, Nor has the eye seen a God besides YOU, who acts on behalf of the one who waits for Him.”

Are you tired of waiting beloved? Don’t give up. Be strong and take heart and wait on the Lord.

I’ve had the topic of “remembering” on my heart lately.
It started with a writing prompt, followed by some random family photos I came across when looking for a book.
As I began to dig into the Word of God in regard to remembering, He showed me this.
Genesis 19 says, and God remembered Abraham
Genesis 30 says, and God remembered Rachel
1 Samuel 1 says, and the Lord remembered Hannah.
I’m sure there are more verses like this friend.
But the sweetest truth to my soul that day was that while we often remember things we wish we could forget and forget the things we want so much to remember.
Our God never gets the two confused.
When we repent. He remembers our sins no more. In fact, He removes them as far as the east is from the west. They are forgotten.
But He remembers, the promises He makes us.
He remembers His people.
He is intimately acquainted with us, our ways and what our hearts need.
If you are feeling forgotten today beloved, take heart.
I promise He has not forgotten you.
Trust Him, wait on the Lord and know that you are not alone in the waiting.
“It is He who remembered us in our low estate, for his steadfast love endures forever.”
Psalm 136: 23 (ESV)

This verse struck me in the heart.

Sometimes that’s how God speaks to me. It’s His way of saying, take a closer look beloved. I have something more for you hear.
We may not stand in a pulpit on Sunday mornings friend, but I guarantee you, we are all preaching/ proclaiming something.

If my words don’t draw you to Jesus, then I am a noisy gong and a clanging symbol.

If they only make you feel good or inspire you for a moment, I’ve wasted my breath.

I’m showing up in these squares to point you to the only HOPE we can find in hard places that doesn’t disappoint. It’s everlasting because it’s foundation is the one called Faithful and True.

I’m here to preach Christ Jesus as Lord, and I’m grateful to serve you for Jesus sake.

Our words matter, even when we think no one is listening. What are you preaching?

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. -Psalm 142:3

It’s a beautiful truth I need sung over my heart on the daily.
You too?

I can find myself in a state of overwhelm before I know it friends. And yes, sometimes I find myself spinning my wheels in that place.
I think, if I work harder, stay more organized, research more …. If I…..
But what I really need to do is REMEMBER.
He is God. I am not.
I’m better off when I slow down, make space, and draw near.
Father,
Help us to remember that YOU KNOW the plans you have for us.
We draw near to you Lord.
We quiet the noise around us and we listen, so that we may walk in those good plans you have, bringing glory to your name.
We do this in Christ’s strength and not our own and in his name. Amen.
Beloved, do you try to work from your own strength and become overwhelmed? You can rest easy trusting that He knows your path and will reveal it in due time. Until then we keep our eyes on Jesus.
Save this to remember or tag a friend who might feel overwhelmed in this season of life.

It’s been a week of making memories and savoring

It’s been a week of making memories and savoring our time together.
The first time we’ve all been together in TN for 3 years was such a gift.
The house gets loud and messy and joy bursts from the seams.
I didn’t take tons of pictures because I was trying to be present.
But, there were meals cooked, walks taken, homemade ice cream churned with a drill😂 and always dreaming, praying and talking about the plans God has for us to partner with Him in building the kingdom.
I’m forever grateful for the family God gave Alan and I.
P.S. Babies grow so fast! 😭❤️
