We knew each other in middle/high school, now we’re adults and because of Beautycounter, reconnecting and working and dreaming together.

HOW. COOL. 

This is my ‘why’ with Beautycounter — the opportunity to cultivate friendships and help and love women where God has them, connected by clean beauty products.

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 hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to him belong
Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand

Week 6/52: Birthdays, A Rainbow, & Lent

Today is both my husband’s and my best friend’s birthday. How did I end up with that? It’s pretty fabulous.

Week 6/52 | heartnatured

From this morning to the end of Sunday, it’s going to be an eventful weekend — I’m ready for some fun!

Week 6/52: Birthdays, A Rainbow, & Lent

Story —-

This time last week I was at home with the stomach bug. No. Fun. But J was an angel and took such great care of me. Made me overflow with joy and gratitude toward him. On another note, I’ve started my month-long physical therapy track. The reality that healing is going to be a slow process has finally sunk in. And I’m okay. I’ve realized though how much more on guard I need to be to fight off apathy, discouragement, and negativity in the day to day. With God all things are possible, right? The joy of the Lord is my strength.

Quote —-

“Friendship is acting out God’s love for people in tangible ways. We were made to represent the love of God in each other’s lives, so that each person we walk through life with has a more profound sense of God’s love for them. Friendship is an opportunity to act on God’s behalf in the lives of the people that we’re close to, reminding each other who God is. When we do the hard, intimate work of friendship, we bring a little more of the divine into daily life. We get to remind one another about the bigger, more beautiful picture that we can’t always see from where we are.” Shauna Niequist

Song —-

Nicole Nordeman, Something Out Of Me

Recipe —-

I’m pretty sure I’ve shared this recipe before, but I’m going to share it again because it’s that good: sweet potato chicken skillet. Sweet, light, delicious — it’s become a favorite in our home.

What I’ve committed to for Lent —-

Abstaining from one meal each weekday. I plan to take at least 20 minutes during that ‘skipped meal’ to pray, write, worship, and read.

“Do not be anxious about anything.” Phil 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything.” Phil 4:6

For any fellow recovering earnaholics out there, an encouragement: 

‘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.
