He died for us. I don't stop and think about this often enough. Lately, it wrecks me, which it should. It brings me back to what matters. He matters. Nothing else. Not the things that fill my days. Him. Not the worries in my brain. Him. I'm humbled and grateful for the relationship I have with Him. Am I living my days perfectly glorifying Him? Not even close, but He never leaves me. Not when I don't go to church on Sundays. Not when I yell at my kids. Not when I'm having road rage. Not when I'm having a cocktail. He's always there. I don't take it for granted. I know that He is my source of strength and peace. I know He has all the answers for me. I know He has my path laid out and goes out ahead of me. I'll never be able to pay for His sacrifice. I just know that my faith is always in Him and I'm thankful for it. What a mess I would truly be... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

#longpostalert I'm not superstitious or a follower of chakras or anything to the like. I believe in one true God. He's got my path already set and goes out ahead of me. However, I do pay attention to messages that seem to make sense to me at just the right time. The full moon for example. "Full Moon is Sunday, August 26 at 5:56 AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT). This is a compassionate and emotional moon that supports beauty, desire, healing, love, joy and satisfaction. In the aftermath of extremely challenging times, we certainly can use this reset and refocus onto what makes us happy and what feeds our hearts and our souls. Spend some time reflecting and reorienting yourself to what is important, truly important, and to what will nurture you sustainably. Be willing to let go of old attachments especially to what does not nurture you. Old habits are hard to break and fear of the unknown tends to keep us stuck and unable to move forward. With this full moon, let us expand our trust in spirit so we can step onto that path of moving forward that we all really want at this time. This moon provides a portal for breaking through past wounds, fears, obstacles and limiting belief systems. Use it well and remember to “stay in your own lane”!" Does the moon affect our behaviors?? I don't know. Before finding the above information and during the full moon, I had a cathartic meltdown that I realize was long overdue. So the combination of it all and spending #myquiettime with Him has left me refreshed. I'm ready to refocus on what's important and not take things for granted. I'm more than ready to remove the toxicity in my life that doesn't encourage and build me up. I'm ready to stop letting certain things and people steal my joy. I'm ready to stop letting the enemy take over my thoughts. This is what glorifies Him. He's given us individual beauty and strength that we need to own. Sometimes it takes a full moon and a meltdown to get us back on track. I'm grateful for His grace and mercy that is there before, during and after it all. #dontlookbackyourenotgoingthatway #noshame #iamloved #mondaymotivation #Godisgood #itsarelationshipnotareligion #doyouknowHim

Go through your day like this, just once...#idareyou Prayer requests. Doors being opened. Sicknesses being healed. Whatever you want or need #Healreadyknows Just spend time worshipping Him for who He is. There is such a peace when you surrender to Him and let Him lead you. He's got this. We don't need to force it. #myquiettime #devotions #lifeistooshort #jesusalways #Jesus #Heiswithus #blessed #itsarelationshipnotareligion #doyouknowHim

From birthdays and babies to new underwear! Don't let struggles and ripples in the water keep you from living life to the fullest. #visitdontlivethere "I don’t believe that our greatest shortcoming is not feeling bad enough about what we’ve done wrong. I think our greatest shortcoming is not feeling good enough about what God has done right. When we under-celebrate, we fall short of the glory of God." #chasethelion #myquiettime #devotions #lifeistooshort #blessed #Jesus #itsarelationshipnotareligion #itsarelationshipnotareligion

#yinz have seen this meme, right? Have you ever pictured it like this though? No? Just me? #truestory for me this morning. I'm confident that He is constantly shaking His head at me. (I'm also confident He is not batman nor is #Jesus wearing a tuxedo t-shirt...Cal Naughton, Jr🙄) But this image straightened me up real fast. It was so refreshing. He reminded me that I am His and that He's got me. That I need to make the most of the day and try and glorify Him in everything I do. He reminded me that I'm probably going to mess up along the way, but He loves me anyway. Images like this are why #itsarelationshipnotareligion #doyouknowHim #myquiettime #devotions #tooblessedtocomplain #praisingHim

“If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn’t walk away, you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don’t need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.”

#transformationtuesday they say. It means different things to different people. Hair, makeup, clothes, workout, eating and whatever else everyone sees can be on point, but how do you feel?? On the inside? How many times did you wipe away tears before the makeup stuck? How many times did you change your clothes? How many times did you NOT want to do that one last rep? How many times did you reach for a handful of Skittles? These days that we put on strong faces when we would rather rage with anger and frustration. These days we smile and say all is well, when we would rather ugly cry on someone's shoulder. What does it take to make a transformation where your outside truly reflects your inside? It's different things for different people. God will give you more than you can handle some days. Those days He wants you to lean on Him more. It's then that He transforms my heart. Where He calms the rage and the potential meltdown. Where He reminds me to replace all that with love. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2 #faith #blessed #praisingHim #Jesus #itsarelationshipnotareligion #doyouknowHim #timehopismynewfavorite #rbf #maybesomeglosswouldhavehelped #doitinlove #payitforward
