The world is so loud right now and I find myself p

The world is so loud right now and I find myself pressing into Jesus more and more.
I want everything he has for me. Don’t you friend?
I’m often reminded that life is short and I don’t want any of the breaths he gives me to be wasted. It feels like a weighty thing we’ve been entrusted with… this life we’ve been given.
This doesn’t mean I can’t rest.
In fact I think resting in Jesus is a valuable thing. It produces good things.
It DOES mean I want Him to search my heart.
I want him to sweep away all the things that might be keeping me from doing the very things he has created me for.
Have you asked him that lately?
Father, search me.
What needs to go?
What needs to GROW?

What if we started with this beloved…
Search me oh God, tell me if there be anything in me that is not of you.

Life can press us dear ones and do it’s own kind of revealing.
Perhaps you’ve had times when life has pressed you and you have allowed it to press you into Jesus.

Or maybe you are remembering times when hard things have caught you unaware and the small places of bitterness or unbelief that you have held onto have risen up.

Let today be a day of fresh beginnings.

“O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
Psalm 139:

Too often I go about my days taking care of busine

Too often I go about my days taking care of business, doing all the things, and without thinking…
I’ve picked up one concern after another.
Instead of depositing them at the Father’s feet, I’m over here worrying them like a dog with a fresh bone.
You know what that produces beloved?
Exhaustion.
We can become worn and weary when we try to carry things we were never created to carry.
But something happens when we deposit those heavy things at the master’s feet.
We’re lighter.
And because He is God, He never lets us walk away empty handed.
Instead He makes a holy exchange with us.
We give him our burdens,
He gives us a mantle of praise.
Then we walk out of his presence not just FEELING better but looking different as well!
Our garments of praise mark us, as having been with the King.
Isaiah 61:3 “ He will give us a mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. “

Who wants to be first in line with me to get your garment of praise?

This photo came up on my memories. It was a year

This photo came up on my memories.

It was a year after Alan had gone to Heaven.

Holding hands at dinner one night she was praying.
"Dear Jesus, ( and then words I couldn't understand) she stopped, opened her eyes and looked at me. She said," I am praying for God to give you a new heart."

😭❤️ What?! You mean for the one that was broken?

The Father knows what we need when we don't have the words to ask.

He has the vision for what being whole and made new looks like!

And He will use whoever He wants and whoever is willing to be that voice of truth!

I'm so thankful for the little ones who are so freely led by His Spirit!

And it challenges me….Am I willing? Are you beloved?
Who do we know that needs truth spoken over their lives.

Not my version of truth or yours, but the truth of God's word and His perfect will! He makes all things new!

With Mother’s Day just past and Father’s Day a

With Mother’s Day just past and Father’s Day around the corner I’m thinking of the ones who dread these days.

Now maybe they are your favorite and filled with beautiful new memories.

However if life looks different than you dream it would they can also bring with then fresh grief.

While we can’t control the way our lives look we can choose where to direct our thoughts.

This is not a denial of what we feel or a stuffing of our feelings.

We can acknowledge all those things and then choose to direct our eyes beyond ourselves.

To another.

It’s never failed to give my heart purpose and joy.

How can you make someone else feel seen, heard and loved today?

It doesn’t have to be a special day to choose love!

I’m cheering you on beloved!

I talk a lot about what it looks like to “Lift Up Your Eyes.”
But the Lord has been pressing into my heart that even more, I just need His eyes.

There can be a Holy Exchange as we lift our eyes to Jesus.
We can say, I want your eyes! I want to see people and situations and even myself the way you do Lord.

If you want that too beloved, then you’re gonna love today’s New Episode of the Seek and Savor Podcast.
Save to listen to when you have 8 minutes or share to stories. Link in my bio.
Because truly, we all need His Eyes.😍

Have you ever wondered what it means to LIVE by th

Have you ever wondered what it means to LIVE by the words that come from God’s mouth?
Matthew 4:4 tells us that
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Just like our bodies need bread to give us strength to continue living. ….our spirits need the word’s breathed by God to sustain our souls.
Breathed by God beloved.
It makes so much sense that these words alone have the power to actually Revive us.

Revive us according to your word God. 🙏

This is how His yoke becomes easy and His burdens become light.
It happens when we fill our hearts with so much of Him, that is what spills out when we are pressed.

I want to drip Jesus. Don’t you?
