Main character kind of energy. ⚡️Even for a ph Main character kind of energy. ⚡️Even for a photo that might seem a bit vain (whatever, I like it!), God always speaks to me and gives me a word. Here’s today’s: Church is quick to tell us it’s NOT about you. It’s about Jesus, it’s about sharing the gospel, it’s about everything BUT you. Well, resist the urge to call me a heretic, but can I just say, IT IS ABOUT YOU. Not in a “the world revolves around me” kind of way but in a, “what you do and the choices you make matter greatly” kind of way. You should be introspective. You should strive to know yourself better so you can make changes in yourself where everything you do begins to reflect Christ. Spending time on yourself is vitally important in the Christian walk because it’s only when you get to a healthy place internally, can you truly make an impact for the Kingdom externally.

Daily bread 🥖🙌 Get full on the Word of God. Daily bread 🥖🙌 Get full on the Word of God. Something I’ve been passionate about talking about lately is this idea of what your quiet time with God should look like. As if it’s a cookie-cutter formula. Read the Bible for 30 minutes, pray before meals & bed, go to church, serve your local soup kitchen or homeless shelter. Honestly, those are all good things, but my greatest moments of intimacy with the Lord wasn’t birthed from the routine…it was birthed from wrestling with the Lord. Those moments of anguish where I was tired of playing church because I needed a big God who could actually shift things in my life and others. I needed the God of the Bible to be real and if that God didn’t exist then I was tired of playing games. But the God of the Bible IS real, which is why I’ve seen Him show up again, and again, and again. So saying I pray and read my Bible to get closer to Jesus seems quite lackluster when its honestly so much more then that. Who can agree?
Happiness is a choice. 😊 Something the Lord has Happiness is a choice. 😊 Something the Lord has been showing me lately is I actually have power over my feelings. You see, I lean on the emotional side, and am also quite empathetic and sensitive to other people’s feelings. I used to hate this about myself, but to be honest with you, now I love it. Some of my best work is birthed from moments of emotion, pain, and simply feeling things on a deeper level. However, sometimes the emotional side of me can overtake me, and leave me in a funk for 3-10 days. As you can imagine, that’s no fun. BUT what the Lord’s showing me is I actually have control over my emotions and feelings. I can feel these things and be sensitive to it, while not letting it overtake me. Which is truly breakthrough for me. Can anyone relate??
“Every overnight success story takes about 10 ye “Every overnight success story takes about 10 years.” Pastor Jon Heinrichs @jonheinrichs These words from my pastor today NEED to be repeated. So many of us are called to greater things, but do we really want to endure the hard times in order to reap in the good? If God had told me 6 years ago when I started my blog and business how HARD it would be, I’m not sure I would have done it. If He had told me how many nights I’d spend crying, wondering when all my hard work would pay off, I might never have left my cushy corporate job. If He had told me how many months I’d have to spend praying that I’d somehow be able to pay my bills…I really just don’t know if I would have ever said yes. But that’s why He doesn’t tell you. He just says follow me, I’m your provider, I’m your source, look to me and I’ll see you through. And SO MUCH character, stamina, and perseverance is developed by simply saying yes to the call, and not quitting. Jesus doesn’t promise it’ll be easy, but He does promise He’ll be with you, and if you stay in the fight long enough, you’ll see heaven move on your behalf in ways you never could have imagined. If this resonates with you, leave a 🌟emoji. Happy Sunday, love you guys!
