As I stood at a clearing and looked down at the breathtaking view, I felt a deep sense of peace wash over me. Despite the tough climb, my shoulders relaxed, my breath deepened, and a smile crept onto my face. Reflecting on the journey, I realized how much it mirrored my struggle with grief and anxiety. In those moments of stillness with the Lord, I found the peace I so desperately sought…

A bruised heart that chooses to beat with a passion for God amid pulsing pain and confusion, may just be the most expensive offering placed on the divine alter. – Beth Moore

I read this quote and it hit me to my core.

When your greatest fear becomes reality, what do you do?

I think, you have two choices. Allow this reality to define or refine you.

We all have hopes and dreams, but what are we supposed to do when our hearts are broken and our dreams can’t come true?

That’s the question I found myself staring at recently within a Bible study I am doing with a friend, and gosh if it didn’t hit me right in the gut. Reflecting back on this now over a year of live I’ve been living…

The enemy studies us.
He knows our playlist.
He knows what we say to ourself.
He knows our proclivities.
He knows our struggles.
He knows our insecurities.

The enemy will use anything he can to get to our relationship with God. He will attack what’s most valuable.

The enemy knows more about our destiny than we do. ‘The enemy isn’t after where you’re at right now, he’s after what you could get access to in the future and the influence you have. This is why he wreaks havoc over anything that matters to us – emotions, minds, willpower, families and futures.’ Juliana Page

Why do we have limiting beliefs when we have a limitless God? Our God is a God of the impossible!

The most clear lens I’ve put on is Jesus. This lens also comes in and out of focus as well, but as I allow God control in my life, it all becomes so much clearer. When I find one of those old lenses trying to come back, I switch to the lens of Jesus. Switching to the lens of Jesus is quite incredible. With this lens on, it doesn’t matter what other lens I may be looking through, adding His lens brings everything back into focus.

He walked away, about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, please take this…

Hold me Jesus.

Over the last several months I realized that there are many times when I just needed someone to give me a hug, or to wrap their arms around me in an embrace. I found myself often longing for someone to hold me when the grief was so heavy. I just wanted someone there to wrap their arms around me with that physical assurance that everything was going to be ok.

When the person you expect that from is gone, you must find it from somewhere else. This is when the loneliness really set in for me. The little things you’re so accustomed to leaning on someone else for, and then they’re gone and obviously no longer able to provide.

I shared this as a post recently, and wanted to capture it on the blog.  But this graphic spoke to…
