Join me in living a life still before the Lord where grace abounds and messiness is welcomed!

The longer you try to get your life’s purpose and plan by imitating someone else, the longer you forsake missing what God purposed you for. Your purpose will never come through the imitation of someone else.

Keep on giving God your small yesses and your obedience. Public blessing is the result of private obedience. Your obedience will never go unnoticed in His sight.

Contrary to popular belief it is completely OKAY to take a moment to step away to be still.

And sometimes stillness requires you to be silent so that you can listen to the heart of God in the midst of your pain and suffering.

Be still... It’s OKAY!

You were not created to take the weight of the world on your shoulders. God is God and you are not.

Let Him comfort your heavy heart and lay your burdens on Him, for He cares for you (Psalm 55:22)

[graceful_still @graceful_still]

When you can’t handle the heaviness of the burdens in your heart remember this:

You’re not asking too much of Christ, when you ask Him to take burdens.

Asking for help does not make you weak, it shows your willingness to let go and trust in the One who is greater than you.

You will reach a point in your life when people’s inconsistency will no longer dictate how you feel. You will learn that is only a representation of their character and says nothing about who you are or what you’re worth.

Sometimes we reread chapters before we go on to the next one. We may reread a chapter once, twice, even three times. BUT at some point we have to realize it’s time to go on to the next chapter.

You can’t see how the rest of the story unfolds if you KEEP rereading old chapters.

To be wise and to have understanding one must humbly fear the Lord and flee from evil.

A created being cannot give validation to another created being the same way that which was not created can.

Let your validation come from God who’s always been and always will be.

Every door that is open is not from Jesus. The enemy knows how to open doors too. Let the Holy Spirit give you discernment before you walk through a door.

Rest is not a suggestion, it’s a requirement. You can’t expect to function to the best of your ability when you chronically neglect your body’s need for rest.

Uncertainty wreaks havoc on the faithless soul. Who is your faith in?

Your sin can’t outrun His grace. His grace abounds still! #grace #faithblog #christianwoman
