#TBT -- To the "slow down". It's inevitable... with the rush and push and work of a heart-big creative project, there comes a point when you pause. (Authors -- you feel this I know, every time galley proofs are in your hands.) You exhale. Sit back in your chair, hands off the keyboard. You look around. And BREATHE. And suddenly realize, "Oh no... this thing is about to be over. This creation experience has been careening so fast to a date on the calendar that now, I want to pause. To slow it down. To live in this moment because soon, it's going to be gone." That's today. That's RIGHT NOW. As I'm writing and racing towards the finish line on Bible study content, this photo is the #TBT rainy day moment I remember. Once upon a time, when it was just me and Jesus. Huddled in a cozy coffee shop corner, with my Dad's Bible, jotting verse maps in a journal, trying to learn, desperate for a new path, and having no earthly idea what He was doing at the time. Fast forward years. To today. To the pause + slow down + heart-tug moments. I give, Lord. It's yours -- the journey... the slow down... the #TBT photos, and creative journey and every single word typed to 'THE END'. Whatever and wherever He places you today, live there. Pause there. Slow it down and take a long look at what your hands and heart are conspiring to create. Because I guarantee you'll hit the moment, and you'll know He set your course there, for years He's planned it, and that moment of intimacy of Him will be like nothing you've ever experienced before. JESUS... you amaze me. And funny, but it's full circle. Still You and me. Huddled in a cozy coffee shop corner. Jotting in a verse mapping journal. Trying to learn. Desperate for the path that leads to YOU. <3 #JESUSchasers
He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ —Job 37:6 (NIV) One of the best winter memories I have is right after a snowfall. Though we'd had a hefty snow one winter night, our high school was still open in the morning. My sister and I left the house at the same time Dad left for work -- and landed our cars right next to each other in a standstill traffic jam to get on the highway. I remember sitting in the front seat of the car. Snow falling around us. Watching the long line of cars not moving. Seeing our Dad's car idling in front of us on the curve of the off-ramp. And out of the blue, he opened his door. And got out! My sister and I looked at each other. "What in the world is he doing?" we asked, shrugging shoulders. And answered with, "Maybe he's having car trouble". We watched as our Dad, in his smart business suit and winter coat, began sweeping snow from the roof of his car into gloves hands. And then -- without warning... WOOSH! A snowball hit dead in the center of our windshield! My sis and I looked at each other (I can still remember the shocked smiles!) and got out... and laughed... and proceeded to have THE MOST EPIC SNOWBALL FIGHT there ever was between a father and his nearly-grown daughters! Eventually, the traffic began to move to again. And life went on. We went to school, work, years passed and now our Dad is gone. But I still rejoice in that simple snowfall. It's a cherished memory. A small gift of white from God's heavenly storehouses, that He directed down to become a part of my heart. #Wednesdaywisdom is simple this week. Remember: Our fathers (and our Father) will do anything -- especially the small things -- even if it's just to see us smile. <3 #snowballfight #snowfall #winter #warmmemories #heaven
Do it scared. Do it trembling and unsure. Whatever God asks of you —do it with a full ❤️ because He’s got this. YOUR BATTLE IS ALREADY WON. #JESUSchasers #powerful #takeheart #keepheart #GIVEheart #inallthings
A view from the top of #BlarneyCastle... I say “a view” because there were literally millions to be had up there. Different angles. A mass of color and sky. Structures built, with nature mingling in quiet corners. And something as slight as a shift of the wind and tilt of camera could change it. It’s so like how we see ourselves—one encounter, one misstep, one tilt of our confidence can affect how we accept the person in the mirror. I recently told a friend the truth about one of those views I’ve battled since childhood—attacks on self-esteem—and I’ve struggled ever since. It’s candid. Ugly. And something I don’t talk about often. It’s this quiet war waged away from view—color and tilting cameras behind the scenes. The combination of a public vocation, introvert personality, and shifting confidence don’t make for a sure view all the time. Getting up on a stage? Terrifying at times. Putting work out to be reviewed? Terrifying. Social media? Making missteps with who we are and what we say and how we represent Christ? Terrifying. Walking away from one definition of who you are for another, remembering the old you that’s been replaced by another in the years since... all terrifying. But I want to be candid about the view while we’re here, because I know I’m not alone. I know I’m not the only woman out there who doubts the view the world sees of me. And I’m open because—it’s not about the me the world sees, but the Who I battle to show them instead. It may be a battle waged out of others’ view, but it’s one Christ is fighting for me. Getting up on a stage in His Name? Terrifying, but I can do it. Putting work out to be reviewed? Terrifying, but I can do it. Social media and missteps and completely new definitions of who we are? Absolutely terrifying, but I can do it BECAUSE OF JESUS. And you can too. Whatever view you see today... Whatever quiet war is being waged... Whatever tilt of the mirror and angle of the self-lens... Let it reflect a little of His grace. Because His view from the top isn’t tangled in defeat; it’s dominated by a million angles of victory just waiting to be captured. #confidenceinChrist #selfesteem #breathelife #authorslife #ireland (at Blarney Castle)
Awake, my soul! —Psalm 57:8 (NIV) The NIV is lovely here... just a few words needed to spark a beautiful start to something new. But the KJV version takes us an extra step down that aisle with: “Awake up, my glory!” Glory! How could we not love it?! That’s what mornings and afternoons and evenings and all-day-every-day should feel like —the opening of our eyes to glory! We spiritually step into a glorious picture no matter where or how we wake. I woke feeling the beginnings of a December cold (boo! hiss!) but it can’t darken any soul-glory. It’s cozy inside. The house sleeps. Snow dusts the windowsill. Christmas coffee steaming in my mug reminds me how close we are to the birthday celebration. And my dad’s Bible sits in my lap... ready to do some “waking up”. No matter where or how we wake, our soul can dwell in THIS —glory alive, vibrant, colorful, storied, lavishing love, sparking the dead to life, and waiting for us to step in to experience it all. The waking time can happen in a grand cathedral, just as it can in a cozy little corner of our world... Praying it’s an awake-to-glory day! #breathelife #awakemysoul #JESUSchasers #ChristChurch #Dublin #dublincity #ireland #ireland_gram #glory #awake #versemapping #intheWord (at Christ Church Cathedral Dublin)
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.” —George R. R. Martin This is the book wall from a conference room at my publishing family in Nashville. I’ve had this pic for weeks, heart mulling over how meaningful an image it is for me. It’s humbling. Unbelievable. Heart-bending. With two books that changed pivotal moments in my life (The Butterfly and the Violin; You’ll Get Through This by @maxlucado) hanging next to the Book that literally saved my life. Story... it becomes part of ours. ❤️📖 #thepowerofstory #storytelling #lovebooks #breathelife #JESUSchasers #authorsofinstagram #authorslife #changedinsideout

“Life is no brief candle to me.

Calling creatives: Are you an aspiring author? Feel called to write? I’m asked the question often—especially at speaking events: “How do I get published?” For the dream-chasers out there, there’s so much to the creative calling and you learn quickly it’s more than one day having a book on store shelves — (Dream-chasing is actually about the Who we’re chasing vs. the what)... To get linked up, check out the FAQ section of KristyCambron.com. You’ll get connected to answer those questions (and I’ll point you to the depth of authors’ hearts on the matter) in that space. (Link in profile) Much love, creatives! #calledtocreate #publication #amwriting #creativejourney #keepgoing #JESUSchasers ❤️📖
When you’re so excited about the Word of God— that every pic becomes an almost-blurry action shot! 😉 There is SO much life and energy and Jesus-chasing with sisters @elementchurchmo... how could I do anything but jump right in with them?! Thank you, THANK YOU, sweet friends in MO. You never leave me less than heart-inspired! Loved celebrating alongside you, that our King is born! ❤️ #authoradventures #stagestories #JESUSchasers #MerryChristmas #Christisborn (at Element Church)
...He who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. —Proverbs 15:15 (NKJV) When I was young, our family kept up a generations-long tradition of hot chocolate on Christmas Eve -- we'd drink from vintage porcelain Santa mugs. That CHEER was passed down from my Momma's family, to ours, and I hope, it will be something small we give to our sons'. Because it really is that blessed, no-longer-shut-up-in-spirit time of year that is all about the small stuff... which reminds us of the big, BIG thing God did to send His Son into the world. It's in that famous quote from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol: "I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely..." Our mugs remind me of this CHEER that's freely floating around in the month of December. Sure, there could be long lines in stores and irked tempers on the roadway. But that's not the norm. If we look around, there are people giving. Serving. There are smiles offered and reminders that there's still so much good in the world. That love triumphs. And that 'merry' spills from cups (and vintage Santa mugs!) that truly runneth over. The mugs are antique by now -- chipped and the paint is rubbed off in places -- but we hang on to them. And we still use them every year. They're the perfect reminder of the never-ending gift -- and a place-setting at the feast for God's family -- we have to be cheerful for every day. Welcome December gift gatherings, cookie exchanges, and candlelight Christmas Eve services -- with hot chocolate, of course! May the CHEER make us merry... Christ has come! #Wednesdaywisdom #CHEER #merry #Christmasmug #Christhascome #rejoice
