I’m so moved by the outpouring of support behind my story about Kobe. And I love that #girldad is trending.. so for all those proud fathers who still have their girls to love on can you flood my timeline with pics of you and your flock. Honestly I need it as much as anyone rt now
God please tame the frustration in my heart, the pain, the disappointment. I know that there is a bigger plan than what I can even imagine for my kids. Learning to let go and trust you with them. Let them be a light in the dark, let others see you in them.
God really does have it all worked out. The gaps are filled. The heartache is eased. The provision is ready. The needs are met.
Fully. Completely. Perfectly.
In Him. With Him. By Him.
Lord, I know this is true. Help me live today as evidence that I believe this.
God was never withholding it from me - he had placed the desire in my heart in the first place. Rather, he was preparing me. He was renewing my mind, maturing me, and making me stronger, so that when I did step into my dream, I was prepared to handle it well.
The hard situations we're facing? We don’t need to know all the details of how it will turn out. We just need to keep our hearts positioned closely to God in trust. And He will surround us with His reassurances and perfect love.
“You did not choose me. I chose you & appointed you to bear fruit...” - Jesus (Jn 15:16)
Not Fame. FRUIT.
Not Fortune. FRUIT.
Not Followers. FRUIT.
Not Facebook Friends. FRUIT.
Even if the others come, that’s not why He chose us.
Lord, help us get our FOCUS back on the FRUIT.
We are thankful for you Coach Johnson. Thank you for seeing Taylor’s potential and investing in our kids. Because of you I may have even heard my kid say he may want to play football. We will see but excited to see what you will do!
As one chapter of my life comes to an end, I’m extremely grateful and honored of my time coaching 🏀. I’d like to thank my administration, assistant coaches, parents, fans and most importantly my players for making these past five years amazing!! #Pantherpride
Imagine a day where we simply made the choice to remain unoffendable. Where we simply had compassion for the rough edges of others realizing it’s just evidence of something cutting deep & brutal inside of them.
It doesn’t make them right. It makes them in need of love & mercy.
Annual PSA: no one is interested in my deconstructed green bean casserole with pickled shallots. They want canned green beans mixed with cream of mushroom soup topped with canned fried onions. I cannot be precious about reinventing American Thanksgiving staples for these jokers.
“For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.”Prov. 24:16
You may have fallen down, but you don't have to stay down. Cry out to Jesus. You were made for more than a cycle of defeat. You were made for victory in Him!
