Reclaim Your Time.

Why is time with God in the morning so overlooked? I am just as guilty as the next when it comes to this but over the past year, my alone time with God has absolutely evolved and I love where I am and where God is taking us. 

Let me tell you in this moment, that once you make time for God...He will absolutely reclaim your time.

Psalm 143:8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

A Little Reminder

 
     It's more than okay to be confident. The only reason people would ever be against you being confident in yourself is because they know how greatly even a little bit of confidence impacts your entire life. It takes you from discouraged to courage and scared to bold. Looking in the mirror and telling yourself that you are stunning, treasured and brilliant can completely change the course of your day. Confidence changes your life.

     Now, I'm not talking about worldly confidence. I put my full support into Godly confidence. It's unconditional. Worldly confidence has set standards such as size, class rank and status. God's confidence is what makes you confident when by worldly standards, you might have 'nothing' going on for you at all. Thats the greatest thing about Godly confidence- you can't lose it and it has no box to withhold it. Godly confidence tells you that you are confided in, immensely loved, cannot fail, extremely talented, capable of anything and kept by a loving Savior.

      Walking in God's truth everyday, transforms your life from the inside out. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with being confident in the way you look or what your status is- BUT I am saying that it is so dangerous to put all of your confidence in that and let it define you. Let God define you, you can't go wrong. Confidence is incredible. So with all of that being said, it's okay to walk in confidence and be sure of yourself. Don't ever dim your shine. Be self assured. There are so many wonderful things that you are, be them.

stay blessed,

Why am I a Christian?

"Why are you a Christian?" Man, there are so many reasons to be wildly in love with Jesus Christ. So many. God is pure good. Not the kind of 'good' that us humans throw around all the time to describe the simpler things in life, but a complex and extensive goodness that only the Creator of the universe could withhold. That is the basis of why I am a Christian, but I know for most, that answer might be vague so I'm going to dive right into why I am completely, recklessly and fearlessly in love with a Man from Galilee.

The Balancing Act: Jesus + Beauty/Fashion

Romans 2:12---> "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

     In a world full of Instagram models, television stars and a society constantly telling us how to look and be, it can be so hard to keep our eyes completely on Jesus. However, God never said that all of His children shouldn't look good, or dress well- it's all about always putting Him first, above the newest trend.

be still: the battle is not yours. a bible study in 2 Chronicles 20

We have all had times where we've been in the wrong and we knew that we 'had it coming'. But what about the times where we are blameless, totally free of culpability? 

     Well, you'll be happy to know that God is never out to get you. He only wishes for us to just.be.still. In this Bible study, you're going to read about soon to be king Jehoshaphat, a man of God who found himself in a situation where some tribes came to fight him, but he chose to seek God.
