Girl, I’m so proud of you. I know it’s been the hardest season of your life and you’re still standing. Trusting. Praying. Believing.

I know you never imagined you’d still be here. Needing. Hurting. Exhausted. Wondering.

I’ve learned that nothing last forever so keep holding on! Keep looking up to where your help comes from. God has not left you.

The Lord wants you to know that he’s heard every cry and seen every tear. He knows you’re exhausted. Don’t mistake the silence for absence. He’s closer than the air you breathe. There has been a shift and things are coming together. Be expectant.

I promise when this season ends {and it will} you’re going to look back and say “Look at what the Lord has done!”

Love, Em

Shine

The Bible says that the truth will set you free. Not our truth, but the Lord’s.

I have gone back and forth with Jesus about my story and how parts of it were so very hard to accept. I asked all the why’s. I cried all the tears. Let me tell you, the Lord is patient. Lol.

I’ve learned this: my story is mine to tell. It’s what I know is true. The Lord’s truth is what set me free from how I perceived my life. My story. The lies I believed that kept me quiet, passive, and ashamed stopped being louder than his voice to me.

It’s only because of Jesus that I am able to tell of what He has done for me, and not only what others have done to me.

I am not a victim. I am not a problem. I am not anyone’s dark secret that holds me hostage.

I am healed. I am loved. I am strong. I am full of purpose. I am a light in the darkness and so are you!!

Don’t be ashamed of where God has brought you from. Your story. Your life is a living testimony to what God can do with your brokenness.

No one will ever be able to tell your story the way you can. You lived it. You survived it. It’s time to shine His light in dark places so others have a way out. A way through.

What are you waiting for?

❤️ Em

I need to have an honest moment, friend. I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed lately. It’s like I’m fighting every urge to not feel like a failure, as a woman, a wife, a mom, a friend.

I know I’m probably not the only one with thoughts that keep me up at night.

Or the only one who wrestles with anxiety as my mind spins with worst-case scenarios.

Or the only one who has fears buried deep down that somehow find their way to the surface when I’m alone.

But here’s what I’ve been learning, it’s okay to celebrate the wins even when you’re still struggling in other areas.

And it’s okay to admit that life can be cruel, unpredictable, even traumatic… yet still good, peaceful, and full of purpose.

So, friend, take a breath. We’re going to be okay not because we’ve got it all figured out, or because everything’s in our control, but because we have a good Father who takes good care of His children.

So friend, I’ll be here tonight, praying and hoping right along with you.

Love,
Em

Just In The Nick Of Time

As I was watching tv this evening I felt so overwhelmed by emotions of relief. It was as if God just showed up and rescued me. The feeling was so heavy I found myself laughing and crying.

So many of us are on the verge of breaking, about to give up. The struggle has been exhausting. You’ve wondered if all the hard work, the faith, the hope, the tears, were worth it. Your obedience has brought you face to face with giants you’d never imagined you’d battle. You find yourself with more questions than answers.

If this is you, then this word is for you!!

God is going to show up just in the nick of time. Not one second too soon. You may even think he’s not coming, but he is!! Hold on just a little bit longer!!

I don’t know how the Lord is going to do it but in one moment everything is going to change!!

Hold on friend, Jesus is never late. We serve an on time God so be expectant!! Things are about to change for the good!!

Love,

Em ❤️

Your Cave Season

I was thinking the other day why has this season been so full of isolation and just plain uncomfortable. I look around and my circle of people looks different and the Lord brought the story of David in the cave to my heart.

He went there to escape from Saul. {1 Samuel 22} The cave provided a strategic advantage of safety. He was there alone first then his family came, then others who were going through issues too, came. Before long he was surrounded with the people the Lord sent. People with problems. Not people who had it all together. The Bible says they were in debt, distressed, and bitter. Everyone was in the same boat. I’m sure the 9 months he was there felt like an eternity.

I often wondered why he would send me people in pain when I’m in pain. People who can’t help me out of my trouble nor me help them out of theirs. I know now it’s to comfort each other and grow with each other. A common ache of the heart connects them because in the end that time of cave dwelling is preparation for what is to come. There is a purpose in this.

What we are learning is more than just survival. It’s war tactics. It’s compassion. It’s empathy. It’s the mourning a soul needs in time of troubles without eyes of judgement but eyes of compassion and comfort.

Take a look around you. God is building us up to battle together. It’s no coincidence who has been sent to you, to me. It’s no coincidence where he has sent you and I either. We have been hand picked to fight WITH each other for a greater purpose. Those men would be the ones who would stand by David’s side to fight against the enemies of their day. Tried and trusted. Victors of many battles! So will you and I be, victors of many battles!!

Be encouraged, friends. This is a temporary, but necessary season.

Victory is assured by the One who fights for us, Jesus!!

He’ll Make It Happen!

You thought by now things would be different. Your life doesn’t look anything like you imagined. You feel so behind and there isn’t time for you to catch up. Your dreams. Your plans. Both just feel dead and pointless.

If this is you, listen to this good news. God isn’t done with you and your story yet!! Our good Father will do it, but at the right time. I felt the urge to encourage you that God knows exactly when the time is right. He is not holding out on you. It’s not time. He’s not forsaken you. It’s not time. He’s not a liar. It’s not time.

Hold onto hope, friend. His name is Jesus and he is always on time!!! ♥️

Friend, I know things have not worked out the way you wanted. Your heart is trying to manage the hurt, the shock, the unexpected, and trust God at the same time. It seems hypocritical to be in both places at the same time. It’s not. You’re not.

Please hear Gods heart for you. God is not mad at you for feeling all the feelings you have right now. He’s a good father who wants to comfort you. He understands. He sees you. He longs for you to know how much he loves you. He knows exactly how you’re feeling. Keep coming to him. Keep being honest with him. He’s got it all figured out. Trust his heart for you, for your family, for your future. Things are going according to plan, his plan. ♥️

Friend, Jesus is making a way for you. Making a way through that dark, lonely, broken, painful place. His way is better than your way. Nothing is impossible for Him.

Keep trusting! Keep believing! Put one foot in front of the other even though you can’t see your way through…Jesus is the light leading you out.

Thank you, Jesus, for making a way when we can’t see one. We are dependent on you, Jesus. Come and do what only you can do. ♥️ 🙌🏽

With so many things to do I’m not sure where to start first!! Isn’t life so wonderful that there is never a shortage of things to keep us busy?! {enter sarcasm here} Perfection, a plan, and a list can sometimes rob us of our peace. As we go throughout our day let us be mindful that tomorrow the world will still be turning even if we don’t get {fill in your list here} it all done. I pray that the Lord will multiply the work of your hands and bless your diligence. I pray that goodness and mercy follow you and clear a path for what the Lord would have for you today. ♥️ #encouragingem #myjourneyoffaith #takeachillpill #relax #dontforgetcoffee

The Good

The truth about serving God is that we won’t always understand why he allows what he allows. Pain, loss, and heartache are all apart of the humanity we live in. Jesus doesn’t eliminate the hard parts of life but rather joins us in our journey.

God has never not once kept good from us. He gave us Jesus. His son. His one and only son. It’s hard to see through the lens of loss and confusion. Heartbreak and disappointment. The whys aren’t promised but what is, is the good.

Friend, what is coming is not meant to replace what you lost, but to reinforce the goodness of God to give you the good from it.

Don’t stop believing! Don’t throw away your confidence in Jesus!! He’s not done with you yet!! ❤️

Romans 8:32…He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
