50 things that 2020 taught me ♡


What a crazy year right? Although challenging it has been a very fruitful year for me. With all of the setbacks I've grown a lot spiritually. With all of the disappointments I've learned to trust and rely on God more. In the loneliest of moments, I found that Jesus is truly the greatest comforter.

Being forced to spend more time alone than normal I've also learned a lot about myself. This was a year of growth and preparation. I strongly believe that God doesn't put us through the fire without a purpose in doing so. So I'm excited to see what 2021 will bring.

*Gods love letter to his children...... Will you Be his Child???? My Child: You may not know me, but I know everything about you. I know when you sit down, and, when you rise up. I am totally familiar with all your ways. Even the very hairs on your head, have I numbered, for you were made in my image, and, in me you live, and move, and have your being, for you are my offspring.I knew you even bef ore you were conceived. I chose you when I planned creation. You were not a mistake, for all your days, are written in my book. I determined the exact time of your birth, and where and how you would live out your life. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I knit you in your mother's womb, and brought you forth on the day you were born. I have been misrepresented by those who don't know me, for I am neither distant nor angry, but the complete expression of Love, and it is my desire to lavish my love on you, simply because you are my child, and, I am your Father.

Vulnerability is Strength ♡

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on m e. That is one of my favorite verses! Gods Grace is sufficient enough to carry us through whatever life throws at us. It is difficult to be vulnerable sometimes and express that we are struggling. Its easier to boast about our strengths rather than our weaknesses. It can be uncomfortable and maybe a little scary to admit that things aren't going well and reach out and ask for help. --- One thing that Im continously learning is that my dependence has to be in Christ. Everything in this world is fleeting, vain and unreliable. Paul knew what hardship looked like, I read about him and wonder how he was able to write letters and encourage others when he was suffering tremendously himself. But God. -- SUFFICIENT = ENOUGH, CONSTANTLY AVAILABLE....

Struggling with discontentment?

Adam and Eve were the first human beings to struggle with discontentment. God already provided all that they needed but He forbid them of just one thing. And that one thing "to be like God" soon became what their "hearts desired" after Satan deceived them. But they were already complete and whole. The devil made them feel like they needed something more, that what they had wasnt enough. So he enticed them to disobey God in the pursuit of wanting to be like God. They were discontent with what they already had, which was already enough. They were living in paradise, amongst God in the garden of Eden and they had one another to experience it with. Seriously, what more could they have asked for? But that's what the devil will do, he will convince you that there is always more to be had, but sometimes the "more" requires us to be disobedient to get and keep it. Discontentment can easily lead to sin, guard your heart diligently and seek the Lord for...
