Unexpected Anwsers

Sometimes we pray and ask God for things, people, and He answers, just not in the way we "think" He will or ought too. Funny, how that works isn't it? I prayed, I begged God to bring people into my life who would "get" me. Who I could trust, "walk" this walk with. That would love me for me, and challenge me. Too help walk with me through some of the hardest places in my journey yet. Be an example. My prayer exactly......Well He most certainly did :) Erin Motto, She is a beautiful answer to that prayer. She is an amazing example of what a Godly wife, mom, leader and friend in Christ should be. She is one of the most genuine ,real, authentic people. We are both in very different life stages yet I understand her better than most of the people in my life. How sweet it is, that because she has experienced pain, and I have experienced pain, we can relate, connect, and grow together. Fighting for authenticity. It is so beautiful to me that in the Kingdom of God age, life stages, stature, and looks, really don't matter!! There is such beauty in our relationships... even the ones that are unexpected. So I challenge you to open up your eyes and take a look around you, you never know who or how God will use the person sitting right in front of you, to teach you, grow you, bless and fight for you. Don't miss out on the blessings God has for you, even if they don't come the way you thought they would :) Erin I am so thankful for you, thankful that God has woven you into the tapestry of my life!!

Letting go... a little

Welp, I haven't posted in awhile... not even sure anyone has read my blog but here ya go....
Have you ever gone through something... did something, that well you didn't want anyone else to know? My guess is we all have something....Well I had some very deep personal things that I shared with some very close friends this last week, and I have too say it's the hardest thing I think I've ever done.. but so freeing :) Christ gave us each other for a reason! Ha ha. Don't allow Satan too have a foothold in your life! So I encourage you whatever your carrying... find your voice. Speak IT.  "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:16

Only fearing Him....

Lately I have been asking the Lord to rid me of my insecurities and pride... of me, myself and I. I realized though, my insecurities come from my fear of pleasing everyone around me... they tell God that I could careless what He really thinks... That I care more about being "ok" in the eyes of man rather than His opinion and the condition of my heart. But honestly I am finding, slowly but surely... the more I fear Him, the less I fear everyone and everything else around me. I am so much more confident in His plan for me, and I can love more purely. Tada!! Such a simple truth, but oh so much harder to actually walk out. So I pose this question, who are you truely fearing?
