When you abide in Christ, when you open yourself to His Spirit’s leading and changing, when you trust and obey Him, your whole being can become ministry.

Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God, do it with God, do it and see people as Jesus saw them, with needs and dreams, and love them. 

I have started more endeavors and realized more dreams in the last year then I think in my entire life. Joining @beautycounter was one of them. 

So I encourage you also — 

Take yourself seriously and not too seriously. Work diligently. Dream big. Be faithful. Have fun. Rest on Jesus. Hold it all with open hands. And enjoy it.

I love what our pastor said this morning — If it I love what our pastor said this morning — If it was just the cross, we’d be a bunch of forgiven corpses. We have been saved TO something, the richest and fullest of life, in Christ, forever. 

May we be courageous people who know real hope and endurance in the sorrow of life and real gratitude and wonder in the good of it.

What is our only confidence?

Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?

‘Anything’ doesn’t only encompass what is outside our control — the future, loss, pain, etc. 

Anything also includes things regarding our life with God. 

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed (synonyms: unsettled, disheartened), for I am your God.” Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, He is in you. And happy to be there. 
Fear not, He’s not changed His mind about you.
Fear not, you are right with Him even now because of Christ. 
Fear not, He delights in you. 
Fear not, nothing can separate you from Him. Even you.

If We Were On A Coffee Date (Now A Monthly Post)

Doing a link-up for the first time, I don’t know what I’m doing. To say the least. And I’m fine with that, but it’s taken me a little time to figure out what I want it to be. I’ve decided to make it a monthly post, in the hope that more friends and lovely strangers can join in without throwing a kink in their possibly already filled post schedules.

So, if we were on a coffee date…

I might be adventuring into the green tea world of Starbucks. Do you like green tea? I think I could do it if it had a peach twang or something.

I would tell you how I’ve caught the spark of home decorating and organizing. I feel like it comes in random waves – is it like that for you? Right now I’m in a season of decorator’s buzz (watching the entire season of Fixer Upper in about two weeks probably only adds to this buzz.. channeling my inner Joanna Gaines). I’m daydreaming about art for the wall, and prints to frame, and how to organize our clutter.

I would ask you if you’ve ever watched Fixer Upper, and do you like Joanna’s style? Because I do. A lot.

I would excitedly tell you that I think physical therapy is genuinely helping my neck. Hooray! Praise the Lord. I think I’m finally on the road to real recovery, I think. I keep giving myself the patience speech, though, so hallelujah for grace in that.

I would ask you what your all-time favorite recipe to make is. I created a binder to keep my printed out recipes in, finally, so I’m accumulating our favorites. I’d love to know yours!

I would tell you that I’ve been blowing through books. I’m a bookworm by nature, but I’ve probably read 4 books in the past week and a half. Lord, Change Me by Evelyn Christenson, Disciplines Of A Beautiful Woman by Anne Ortlund, His Needs, Her Needs by Willard Harley, and I Saw The Lord by Anne Graham Lotz. All distinctively different, all great reads.

I would ask you about an item on your bucket list. I have a serious travel itch at the moment, daydreaming of the Grand Canyon, Italy, Ireland, even the funky streets of California. What’s in the top 5 of your bucket list? Do you like to travel?

A monthly virtual coffee date — let’s have fun with it. :)

    I love these coffee date types of posts! Thanks for sharing! :) Also, I totally love Fixer Upper, too! We don’t have a TV but I watch it online whenever I can. My parents have a weekly “date night” to watch it. :) And I just put together our favorite printed out recipes into a binder last weekend — so fun!!

    Lisa, I will confess I underestimated the value of physical therapy. But I’m slowly learning! Thanks, friend.

    I love that you’re doing a monthly coffee date link-up!
    Have you Starbucks’ peach green tea lemonade?? I don’t like green tea but this drink is AMAZING. I’ve only just discovered it. I’m obsessed.
    Also, my HUSBAND is obsessed with Fixer Upper! Haha! We watch it in our house because he loves it so much!

    That makes me smile, Hannah!
    I also love the idea that your parents make a date for Fixer Upper – that’s so sweet.

    Yay, Audrey! I hope you will join in! I am super glad you mentioned the peach green tea and your recommendation, because that is one I have been wanting to try! Sold. :)

    Let’s have a real coffee date soon, okay? But, for now, I guess this will do :) Miss you friend!
    P.S. Fixer Upper–my favorite.

Years of painful and gracious transforming revealed false beliefs, fear and pride so strong they were insulating me from God. So with the help of the Holy Spirit, I began to practice opening my hands and relaxing the white-knuckle grip I had on being ‘enough’ on my own. I needed Him to be everything for me because I couldn’t be everything for me. By the grace of God I finally understood: He is incomparable. Nothing and no one is like Him. Nothing and no one can be what He is.

If Jesus is not most precious to me, I'll crumble under the hard, I’ll depend on control, I'll despair over the painful, I'll idolize the good, and I'll be left to settle for mediocrity.
