I don’t have to figure my present circumstances out. I don’t have to fill the silence left behind in another person’s absence. I don’t have to know all the whys and what-ifs. All I have to do is trust. So in quiet humility and without a personal agenda, I make the decision to let God…
You just cannot mess up God’s plan.
I am a chronic believer of “everything happens for a reason.” You’ll hear me say it through every moment of my life, and the people around me probably get tired of me saying it when they are walking on shaky ground. Just because I believe this though doesn’t make the uncertain moments of life any…
What State Are You In?
I remember I was in my second semester of college.. about to turn 19.. and I had just given my heart to Jesus the fall before starting this blog. I was commuting back and forth from Pigeon Forge to Knoxville to go to UT. The band, NEEDTOBREATHE, had an album that just came out the year before.. and there was a song that I had on repeat during my daily commute almost that entire spring semester of college. It’s called “State I’m In.”
The Desires of Your Heart
What are your greatest desires? Don’t just think the materialistic things like money and a stable job, I mean what are your GREATEST desires? The ones way down deep in your heart. The things that maybe you haven’t told anyone about because well, you’re afraid of rejection? Or maybe you’ve only shared it with one…
Take Delight
Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely. Take delight in the Lord, & he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. – Psalm 37:3-5 I’m a pretty prime example of “taking delight”…
Embrace God’s New
“But forget all that – it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?” – Isaiah 43:18-19 I’ve been reading a new study by Proverbs 31 Ministry, Thy Will Be Done, and it’s got me…
Intentional
When I think of the word “intentional” I think.. dedicated, empowered, motivated, determined, serious, willful, deliberate, and maybe some other synonyms but this is all I can think of for the moment. Picking a word for the year instead of living by a new years resolution I feel like was SO big this year in…
I found my most relatable Bible character
I don’t know if they’re still circulating around Facebook, but have you ever seen those quizzes that are like “what Bible character are you?” and you might have gotten the answer of a strong and valuable man or woman in the Bible. Well, I never took it, but I did find the Bible character I…
Don’t Let Your Femininity Be Attacked
You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You…
Why Your Beauty Makes You Strong
So. Hey again. After a lot of prayer, a lot of saying no, a lot of not knowing where to start (and quite frankly I still don’t), and just a lot of listening.. I am starting a series on beauty, feminism, and what it means to really be a woman in the image of Christ….
