What does freedom look like?

So much has happened since the  last time I posted on this blog, but I have felt a draw to begin to write and communicate more.
What does freedom look like?
So many of us desire to be free. Freedom from addiction, depression, insecurity, and list goes on and on. The reality is that Jesus did not die on a cross so we could live bound to the chains and strongholds. He is alive and calling us to be free. My last post years ago was about my calling and those who struggling knowing their calling and I am happy to report that even though I know I have not fully stepped into the fullness of what God has called me to do, I can confidently say I am walking in my purpose and loving each day. No, no...I did not say each day is easy or even pain free, but yes I love and embrace each day. Freedom is living the life the Word of God calls us to live. A life loving Jesus and other people. No longer do we have to be slaves to sin or ourselves for that matter. We can be full of joy and peace in the midst of long-suffering. Yes, you can suffer and have joy. Learning to live an abundant life is living by faith and trusting a loving Father that ALWAYS has your best interest at heart. 2 Corinthians 5:7 tells us "For we live by believing and not by seeing". And this my dear friends is the first step in freedom...believing despite what you see. I hope to expand on this truth of freedom as time goes on. Please, ask me questions, I may not be an expert, but I will try my best to help you see freedom in your own life. May God bless you today and forever with the peace of heaven!

We all have different seasons!

As this new year is well under way, as most, there is so much to reflect on. We welcomed our second child into this world, which was amazing. My husband left his stable, well paying job to do what he loves. Ups and downs of many different sizes. I have been reminded recently that there is a season for everything and everyone. I hear other mothers constantly comparing themselves to other women and killing themselves to keep up with the notion that they must do EVERYTHING. It breaks my heart honestly that we as women live with the unrealistic expectation that we must do more, achieve more, and become more than we are. We all have different seasons. There have been seasons for me where I was doing so much and able to do those things, but then a season of focus will come and I just cannot do too much. I love all of these seasons and I truly believe that accepting your season promotes peace and growth. Ecclesiates 3:1-9  explains there is a season for everything. I also believe that tru...

He will restore you!!

Some of you know that I am pregnant, we are so blessed to be expanding our family. Between pregnancy,  work,  school, church and family I have had a hard lesson in how life cannot be planned. Though, we think and desire to plan every little thing in our lives, sometimes what we have planned is not what is really in the plan. God has really stretched me in so many ways. Physically I have been challenged, emotionally I have been stretched and I have had to let go and lean on other people way beyond my comfort zone. The amazing thing is that no matter how my day to day is unfolding, I know that God is right there orchestrating every detail, no matter how minor. When I think about how much He loves me to carefully manuever things in my life for my good, honestly, I get emotional. Not to get too deep, I have never felt so loved, that someone would carefully plan and watch out for me as my Father in Heaven does. Recently, I felt overwhelmed and disappointed in my inability to m...

It's All Relative

A phrase I have heard repeatedly over the last month or so, "it's all relative." The first time it came up  was in regard to the size of my newborn. I mentioned  to his pediatrician that he was so small at 7lbs 10oz and her response was "that's relative because he is not small just small compared to his brother" (who was 9lbs 5oz). Yes, of course this was accurate. Anyway, over the next couple of weeks it kept coming up, how things are relative. Well all this talk of relativity got me thinking of how this relates to our journey with God. Our circumstances are relative to our experiences and our knowledge, but more importantly our experiences. In 2 Corinthians Paul is writing a letter explaining the Christian gospel to encourage the Corinthians in ministry. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure.  This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not our...
