  • There is a freedom that comes from committing to not worry and trust God. I am a worrier by nature and I often want to solve the problems of tomorrow today. But that steals the joy of the day and usually I am not successful anyways. When I look back at the events that felt major or critical, God has never once let me down. ________ I know we’ve talked a lot about @ifgathering over the last week in our posts but I truly feel that I was called to be there. It wasn’t something I felt I could afford to attend right now, to be honest, because my family has a lot going on. I had the ticket purchased for me. I was concerned about affording my plane ticket for the same reason. It ended up costing me less than $100 round trip...I have never seen a plane ticket to a major city that inexpensive. I was concerned about leaving my kids—everything went perfectly fine. I feel like God made a way for me to be there to experience it because He knew I needed that. ________ If we trust that God is guiding us, it will be to our benefit. We aren’t being asked to lead ourselves, to figure everything out, to make all the right moves. If we give up the control and choose to trust, God will show up. Every single time.

  • 1 Corinthians 13:13 // Whether it be romantic love, unconditional love, or best friends forever love—it’s important, and it matters. Don’t let your relationship status diminish who you are—today or any day. You are loved. And worthy. Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! Make sure to tell those around you that you love them (tag them here if you want!). 💙🖤💜

  • Proverbs 24:16 // At #ifgathering2019 this past weekend, Bianca Olthoff delivered an amazing word on this idea. It stuck with me. Each time I’m knocked down, and I get back up, I remind myself that I’m stronger because of it, and I’ll be smarter next time. And then I’m knocked down again. And again. And if I don’t align myself with what I know is good and true, I can fall prey to the idea that I’m not strong enough and I can’t get back up. But that’s a lie. We must know our enemy and know how to block the enemy’s lies with the truth of the Word. Life isn’t always easy. And neither is following Jesus. But in Him, we find our peace ... and our strength.

  • When Jeremiah was called by God, He was told, "When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer.” First of all, when I read that I thought the Bible had foreshadowed life in my house with kids or it was supposed to be some allusion to parenting but anyways... ________ What a big call, right? Hey, tell everyone about God but no one is going to listen, okay? Oh and you’re young and not feeling very confident. But you can do it. ________ What faith it takes to answer the call. To decide that despite being ordinary or anxious or humble, you are going to trust that God is leading you. ________ I struggle with feeling pretty ordinary and wondering if I have anything to contribute but I am really learning that God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways all the time. Some of the most heroic figures in the Bible were ordinary people called by God. _________ Maybe your purpose is to raise great people who contribute to the world in amazing ways but you don’t feel like you have what it takes. Maybe you want to be more successful in your career but you feel like you never will be. Maybe you’re just totally unsure what your purpose is. Listen to the places God is calling you. Pay attention to what breaks your heart or moves you. God is calling you to do great things even if they seem small to you, and you can trust Him to hold your hand along the way. Just like Jeremiah, you can trust that God will equip you with what you need.

  • This weekend @jada_edwards was talking about someone riding a motorcycle and how you have to lean with the bike in order to make a turn and not tip it. The people on the bike with you have to be able to lean with it, as well. If you lean away, even though that might be your first instinct, you’ll fall. ________ I’m mostly the almost-a-mini-van-but-we-call-it-an-SUV type so we don’t really have to lean to take a corner (although we’d look pretty cool if we did that) 😂 But I have kids leaning on me. And a husband who leans on me when he needs to. And this really resonated with me. Are they seeing me lean into God? Are they leaning into God because of my example? ________ If we trust in God’s plan, we are leaning into Him. If we need comfort, we lean into Him. When we don’t have faith and we don’t trust, our first instinct might be to lean toward earthly things (possessions, busyness, alcohol...) that might appear to give us what we desire. ________ Our passengers—our kids, spouses, friends—are watching how we lean. When things are hard do we lean into God? Do we lean into what only He can provide? Are we leaning and asking them to lean with us or learn from us? ________ The people who lean on us are watching how we lean and following suit. Show them the right way to lean. Lean into God, lean into His plan, relax in the knowledge that He always knows your steps as He is on your side.

  • Okay bear with me if you’re thinking, “What does this have to do with God or the Bible?” This weekend, @jessicahonegger said this, and it just STUCK in my head. Probably because I work multiple jobs and have kids and life is a busy thing! And I have ALWAYS thought of my day as that “time pie.” Always. ______ But like she said, being balanced isn’t that. Being balanced is being present where you are or where you have to be. Present at work. Present at home. Present at your kid’s soccer game. Present at church. Not just physically present but mentally present. ________ The older I get and the more I try to figure out what in the world adults are supposed to be doing, the more I realize the truth behind this. God really doesn’t want us to strive and strive and strive and feel lost and desperate and exhausted. God wants us to trust Him and then be present in our own lives. ________ I am challenging myself (and anyone who needs this) to trust God, be present, and remember that balance is presence not a slice of time for each thing. ________ Balance your life by being present in the places where you hear that still small voice, or where you feel God is calling you. ❤️
