Living in the now

The most extraordinary things happen in the unplanned time of now. Like a sunflower that grew accidentally in the lavender.

Something I’ve come to learn over this week is while here on earth your “To-do list” will never be blank. There will always be something you need to do, fix or buy. What I’ve come to find out is that life is not about completing a “To-do list” but about the beautiful moments in between.

God has gifted us enough time to complete the mission he has set before us. “There is a time for everything under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1

It is not a rush. I been struggling with this. Ever since my mom passed and I have been left with the house I have been constantly working on it thinking that if I can make my house look put together then that means so am I and so is my life. Thats not how it works.

Currently I am working on letting go of that control, accepting what is and sitting with my emotions, feeling each and everyone of them. Allowing healing and enjoying June.

It truly is the simplest thing living in the now, it’s the only way we can encounter our God. He is always in the now. Never in a rush or behind schedule.

The man Jesus lived to be.

Green is the most simple color. Looking at it reminded me of the simple man Jesus was.

•He never owned a home.

•He never traveled more than 200 miles from his town.

•He was a carpenter

•Did not have nice clothes

BUT

What he did have was

•The kindest heart

•Strong faith

•He trust his Father

•Loved all

What we can learn from the live Jesus lived is:

•Not to judge a book by its cover.

•All you need is a strong faith.

Tonight I realized..

How did I get so lucky? To be gifted a love and growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

growing up I had no if it in fact I would get mad at people who did and who talk to me about it.

If today I was the same loss girl I was a couple years ago. Going through the struggle of grieving the loss of my mom. I have no idea what my life would look like. Honestly the thought scares me.

I realized something:
whether or not you have a relationship with God and faith hardships will come, we all will struggle.

but if you choose to allow God in and trust him he will create something so beautiful all from the broken pieces.

The choice is up to you.

I choose welcome God and with trust, love and hope. What about you?

Ask God

Currently I am writing this at 4:30 AM I do not know what I am writing simply just letting my pen move up and down.

I don’t remember falling asleep last night, my body was tired, still is but my brain has other things that it has to sort through, many things in the category of: worry, stress, fear. The three things God tells us not to do.

Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about it’s own things.”

Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

|| Timothy “ For God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

A different day

Each of us live a different day. Filled with different life experiences, good and bad. God knows the day you lived, the day we all lived. Talk it over with him, thank him for the good and ask for help with the bad. He is there for you, if no one else God is with you, loving you and comforting you. Psalm 118:24 “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” The day you lived today the experiences you had, God made. He made this day for you. He does this everyday. Somedays we feel it was the worse day of our lives, trust me I have felt this way before. I can promise you God did not want to torture you he wanted to make you stronger, he did not leave you to suffer he comforted you, I know this and you do do because you are sitting here reading this right now you survived a that day. Thank God for the good days and the bad ones too because sometimes the greatest blessing are on the hardest days. Now reflect on this day, look for all the times God winked at you. Forgive yourself and others. It’s time to rest now while God prepares tomorrow.

We humans

Reminder to my fellow humans. We are “human beings” not “human doings”. We were not made to do do do, but made to be. Be still, be you, be kind.

I want to encourage you to rest, I am looking for it myself.

We are spirts living inside a human form. Explore Gods planted, love his children, see his beauty, live in his grace.

Hurt changed to Hope

I want to help transform someone’s hurt into hope. I want to be the reason someone believes in the goodness of God. I am so passionate about this because my hurt has been transformed to hope. I see the goodness of God each and every day because of someone. Someone showed me the goodness of God simply by speaking kindly to me and the way they live each day. I share my faith and my struggles because I truly believe a broken heart can heal another broken heart. ❤️

Sharing what young life means to me and what amazing leaders I have is such an amazing feeling. I pray that young life heals more broken hearts the way it healed mine.
