The Prayer Before The Temptation

The Prayer Before The Temptation

by Clare | Sep 9, 2015 | Faith, Fitness, Holistic Liiving, Mindset

Temptations. You got them? I bet you do. Our first response is usually to pray once we get into the situation for help–and yes-while that’s something we need to do, the first step actually occurs BEFORE the temptation is in front of us. Jesus is asking us...

Putting the “Brakes” on: How I Take Breaks in My Day

by Clare | Jun 1, 2015 | Fitness, Holistic Liiving

Admittedly, I have a ton of energy. I wasn’t named the “Energizer Bunny” by my high school volleyball coach for nothing! My day starts at 5:30am and I go pretty strong until I drop at around 10:30pm. While I definitely accomplish a lot and am pretty...

“Clare, ____ is so hard. I keep trying and failing. It’s a daily struggle for me. Why can’t the situation be easier?” The open blank will look different for everyone. Maybe it’s an addiction of yours, a certain issue in your marriage,...

Say Hello

Happy 10 year anniversary to our church! @missionv Happy 10 year anniversary to our church! @missionviewohio I could say so much about it- we’ve been there since day 1 and we’ve ridden that church plant roller coaster!😂 #IYKYK 

If you’ve followed me for any time you may remember that our founding pastor Steve, passed away 5 years ago. His heartbeat is STILL evident in our church even though we are now a good 3 times the size from the start! There’s so much I could say about church and the growing pains but all that matters is this- Jesus grows His church, PERIOD. He uses various people. He works through the missteps and pain. He literally has shown up time and time again and our church is proof of that. We are not perfect but we do always come back to Jesus.

So thankful for the vision and love for Jesus that Pastor Matt and our staff share. As he said this morning- We are just getting started!
Happy 14th to Lila!! You kept us on our toes when Happy 14th to Lila!! You kept us on our toes when you were little and you’re still at it now! You’re so sharp, witty, creative and you surely know how to stand your ground.🤪 We love seeing you grow into a young woman of God and can’t wait to see what this year brings! Love you lots!❤️🥳
I have found more times than not, that the place G I have found more times than not, that the place God has me in life, as in, the current reality, no matter how bleak, boring or painful it is- is the place where He’s doing the most soul-altering work. Once I shift my eyes from “out there” to “right here” - (“Surely He’s not growing me HERE?!”) I feel the roots anchor deeper and fruit begins to bear. My life becomes more peaceful and I see with greater clarity where He’s taking me! This doesn’t mean ease of life nor does it mean you are to stay “stuck”, but what it does mean is that you are trusting Him in the circumstances around you to form and shape you into His likeness. 

What would it look like if you asked God simply today to help you become “rooted and established” in your faith?! (Col2:6)
My favorite holiday and it started out with my fav My favorite holiday and it started out with my favorite people! Happy Easter, everyone! 🤍
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” Luke 22:42-44

The prayer from Jesus- fully God and fully man. Expressing His desire yet fully submitting to God. It’s perhaps my favorite display of Jesus given to us in the Bible. I don’t know what you are asking God to change in your life tonight- but I do know this. The deep sorrow within is not an emotion that is unknown to Jesus. He hears you. He loves you. He has not turned His back from you. Bring it all to Him! 🤍
