How many times have we been called to a position of elevation but did not feel worthy to fulfill it? I love how Moses and Aaron, both imperfect men (but probably seen as perfect in the eyes of the Israelites) did exactly as God commanded them, including accepting elevated positions! An ordination ceremony and royal garments? Some of us would puke at the thought of us being God’s minister, speaker, prayer warrior, etc. for the masses. But the truth is you were elevated when you accepted God unto your heart. Your level of authority has changed, your position in the world has shifted. When you profess God, know that there are expectations that follow. High? Maybe... but God has also given you a high placement. Walk in it NOW, not later. (P.S. I know I am supposed to be reading the @belovedsociety Scripture Reading Plan... every kit I have or additional readings I do match what I’m reading according the plan. I am grateful for the divine matching that God does even after Valentines Day!) 🙌🏽💕👠 #confidentcanvas #biblejournaling #biblejournalingcommunity #illustratedfaith #prayersbeforepumps

Friends, a small request that will have BIG results: when someone asks you to pray for them, do it. Don’t just say it to make them or yourself feel good. “I’m praying for you” is not a signature on a card; it is an action of love and faith. That is a part of our job description as workers of the Lord. And if you can’t pray or won’t pray, don’t make that promise. Prayer journaling sheets are from @allie_scraps—print them and reprint them as needed. Write down the prayer requests you receive to help yourself keep track. Use code in bio for a discount (and they were only $2!!) 😉 Love y’all. Mean it. 💜 #confidentcanvas #prayersbeforepumps #prayers #itsprayingtime

“Prayers before Pumps” | This is a guest blog post written for the @windingpathdaily February Beauty Series. 👠 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. (Psalm 34:4 NLT) 👠 On the week of Valentine’s Day, many will plan to be beautiful for their loved one. They will shop for an ensemble that will dazzle, style their hair to be breathtaking, search for the perfect shade of lipstick and wear shoes that could be painful, but pretty. Accessories may be layered and perfume will be squirted a few extra times. This is a day of beauty and of course, if we complete all of the aforementioned tasks, we nailed it right? 👠 Wrong. 👠 We only accomplish what the world wants wants to see by dressing up. What the world sees as beauty could be a stench to God. If you are “pretty ugly” you are only dressed up on the outside. How do you prevent the stench? 👠 Psalms 34:5 tells us to look to God for help. Our help in beautifying ourselves does not come from a retail store or a hair stylist. Dressing up should enhance the beauty that lies within. However, beauty within cannot exist if you are looking down on yourself with disappointment or looking back at your past with regret. When you fully trust God to seek Him daily (look up) and believe that He is holding your hand as you move forward (no shadow of shame), this is when you become beautiful! This is a divine beauty that takes on a physical manifestation: you become radiant in ways that people question (why is she always so happy?) and unashamed in ways that people don’t understand (He did that to you and you forgave him?). 👠 We must maintain this inner beauty the same way we do outer beauty: get up early to prep (instead of applying makeup, we apply prayer), look in the mirror to ensure the reflection is the one that we desire (do you truly reflect God’s image?) and refresh throughout the day as necessary (if it wears off, reapply—pray frequently). 👠 Remaining post is on my blog (link in bio)—apparently there is a word limit here! #confidentcanvas #prayersbeforepumps #biblejournaling #bloggerlife #blogger
