The Unseen

I am back at LAX, still no signs of Justin or Hailey Bieber. But, in other news my new SIL had Hailey Bieber nails for the wedding (S/O to you Lace) and they were flawless. Okay, now for the real post. I woke up to a whole bunch of reminders, memories, and what used toContinue reading “The Unseen”

Rest in the Lord

It is Labor Day, yes they do celebrate that in Hawaii, it is still a part of the United States. Although, I did find out a few weeks ago that statehood over here is controversial. Needless to say, I have the day off and I am feeling blessed. Normally I spend Labor Day weekend atContinue reading “Rest in the Lord”

Begin with community.

I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Relationships are a tricky thing. As community is built around us,Continue reading “Begin with community.”

Grateful

When we look for gratitude, when we look to be thankful, as Christians, we look to God. We look to Him for what He is doing in our life. We recognize all He has done, how he has worked His goodness into each circumstance in our lives. Psalm 105 tells us to praise the Lord:Continue reading “Grateful”

Purpose.

I have been journaling quite a lot about this topic lately and I have been doing so through different lenses and perspectives. It has taken me a minute to get all of my thoughts wrapped around all of this, in fact, I think I am still working on it. But, despite the jumble of itContinue reading “Purpose.”

Love.

Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apartContinue reading “Love.”

Resilient

One day last week I listened to this podcast while choosing to go for a run after work on a Monday, Made For This with Jennie Allen. And these were the verses she referenced: Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace brought to you when Jesus ChristContinue reading “Resilient”

Have Faith

Matthew 9….have faith. Have faith in God. Have faith that He still heals today. Have faith that He is in control. I listned the other moring to a devotional on Matthew 9:18-38 and it was all about not only having faith and trusting God, but walking that out in our actions and words. Pray. LiveContinue reading “Have Faith”

What am I seeking?

This past month I have been searching for new ways to be connected to God. More ways to step back from society, to walk away from the flesh and walk more obediently with God. In doing so, I have been listening to more podcasts, reading more books, and seeking out God more. Seeking His presenceContinue reading “What am I seeking?”

Rise Up

If you are anything like me, you see in your daily life how desperately this world needs love and peace. You see people suffering in your daily life; you see the darkness and you can feel the heaviness. And if you are like me, you are looking for a way to bring light into theContinue reading “Rise Up”
