“I often want to see the good God promises right

“I often want to see the good God promises right now, but sometimes God’s good answer is “not yet”. There is a timing to everything. You may be praying for something that has not happened yet and maybe even see no hope of ever coming to pass. But we may not understand, we must trust God‘s timing is perfect.” - @lysaterkeurst “Finding I Am”

To give those weary of the silent road you are walking, renew your hope in God’s faithfulness and care in your life. We can walk the silent road because He prepares the way before us!🤍

3 mindsets I take into healing: • The pain/wound

3 mindsets I take into healing:
• The pain/wound may not be our fault but the healing is ours to take ownership of
• You cannot rush healing & the Holy Spirit will guide you to the next step when you need it
• Your healing is not just for you
.
Every day, and I mean every day, I am talking with someone about the implications of a soul wound whether it’s to them personally, their spouse, their kids, their relationship to authority figures, their church.. the list goes on and on. It’s tough stuff and can end up in a tangled mess resulting in decisions that create new wounds.

I know this year has stirred up some deep hurts in some of you and you are left shell-shocked. I want to encourage you to consider what that next step may be in tending to it. You are not alone! I promise you are not. Let the Holy Spirit do His work of enlightenment and counseling as you take the brave next step. That soul care is always worth it. 🤍

There are things that once served us for a season

There are things that once served us for a season that no longer do yet we are holding onto them. There are some things we’ve stopped fighting for that still need our energy because we are tired and have forgotten what’s on the line.

My encouragement to you to tonight is to put to prayer the “thing” that came to mind and wrestle down what God is asking of you. Sure- we CAN keep living like we are, but we want to be WISE women (& men)...”pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17) Father: give us discernment to know when to hold on and when to let go! 🤍

“I don’t know” is the response I get to aski

“I don’t know” is the response I get to asking what the next step is when someone comes to me with a relationship, health, faith, career or leadership question. Now to be fair, true...sometimes people are truly asking for help discerning that next right thing but many times I find they are really asking for me for confirmation.

Some of you are sitting stagnant because you keep telling yourself that you don’t know. I think you do know, you are just afraid of the implications and uncertainty of that decision. To be expected. Moving from comfort never comes without risk.

I’m just here to tell some of you that it’s time. You’ve got enough info and have prayed about it long enough to move forward. When you know, you know. 👊🏻

There is great power in letting go and trusting Go

There is great power in letting go and trusting God. This doesn’t come easy, so if you can’t say this yet about the situation at hand, keep bringing it to Him in prayer! 🤍

“Those who know your name trust in you because you have not abandoned those who seek you, Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭9:10‬

“Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men. “He is not here, but he has risen!” Luke‬ ‭24:5-6‬

What a day to rejoice! My Savior and reason for everything is alive! Happy Easter, friends! 🤍🤍🤍

Just because you didn’t choose it doesn’t mean

Just because you didn’t choose it doesn’t mean that God won’t use it. The imperfect world weaves its way in and out of our stories. Feel the feels, then look it straight in the face and believe for something more. #presson #redemption

“Soft and fiery, beautifully fierce..” I’ve

“Soft and fiery, beautifully fierce..”

I’ve always had a fire in me. I can’t explain it except that I knew I was always “more” than the season, place & age I was in. Not in a prideful way, but in a “I want to change the world” sort of way. For most of my life I’ve tried to push that down as strong, “facts-based”, articulate, independent women were not applauded in the faith, cultural and “general” worlds I lived. But pulling back and softening my “edge” only lead me to a dull, apathetic, and boring life.

God, in His grace, has taken me on a journey over the last few years to free me to who He created me to be...which included keeping my edge and fierceness. Along with that this, He’s grown my capacity to carry a soft and tender side deep down just as equally. It’s taken work. Getting gritty. Facing hard things. Grief. Tears. But all that has made me into the woman I know God has been building all these years.

I never felt like everyone else like but not because I wanted to be like everyone..but just because I never knew anyone like me who modeled what I felt God planted deep in me at an early age. One of my passions now is to be that woman for other young women who feel the same burn as me, and to help them take that fire, balance it with tenderness, truth and love & rock the worlds in which they live.

The photographer of this pic referenced me as a “leader of leaders” and while I knew I was born a leader, I never considered that maybe this great intensity and strength inside was meant for something even more. What a gift and I hold that so humbly. Grateful for all of you who have made me into the woman I am today on my 41st birthday. Let’s do this thing. 🔥 #firestarter #flamethrower
