God has already planned and a way. All he needs from us is to come to Him with open hands and heart giving him what we have. Even if it feels meager and small- Jesus will take it and in thanksgiving turn it into abundance. The world needs your love and kindness now more than ever. It needs your light to shine brightly. Let your hope grow deep roots and don’t be afraid to dream big.

Faithfulness
When we don’t see the immediate growth of the prayers planted, it is easy to get discouraged. We’ve grown accustomed to a world where with one click we can get things delivered the next day. We see something we want and almost magically it appears on our porch. There is no waiting period, no anticipation, and I think sometimes we begin to expect that sort of efficiency and immediacy in other parts of our lives. Sometimes though, in the waiting is when the most growth is happening. When we can’t see it, God is tending to that whispered prayer, he is growing roots under the soil and he is preparing it for what is to come. Look for his faithfulness where you are. Perhaps he is doing something in your season of waiting that is preparing you and setting you up for what is to come
Water the Flowers Within
Every day we have a choice of which seeds we choose to water. In the moment it might not feel important, but it doesn’t take much for either a flower or a weed to take root. If you allow jealousy to be planted, it will try and choke out the love and forgiveness. If you plant forgiveness it will soon overtake the hate. If you plant It isn’t something that happens overnight, but it is an accumulation of small choices.

Reflecting on this past year, I am amazed at how much has changed both within my heart and in my circumstances. Last year when I turned 26 the pandemic was keeping everybody socially distant and a lot of things were shut down.

We Are All Human
It is important to remember that everyone that you encounter is human, that your problems are not always bigger or more important than theirs. We have the power and the opportunity every day to show others that love and kindness exist.
Love Always
In this time, I have felt that even more deeply. These days feel dreary for a lot of people; waves of uncertainty and anxiety roll in thick like the morning fog. And someday it is hard to muster up the strength to look for the sunshine or to even want to let hope take root.
Yet the beautiful thing is that we aren’t alone in this time, we still have the power to connect and reach out to others. We are not alone, for love always shows up. We can come together and be hope for those who are desperate for any sign of spring. We can still find ways to be love to others even from afar. And that is why I decided to make it my goal to write 100 letters in the month of April- because love always finds a way to show up for others. This month for me that looks like writing handwritten notes and providing some extra encouragement to those who I love or even those who I don’t know.
Taking Inventory
The other day I was driving in my car to work at 3:30 in the morning, everything around me was still asleep and quiet, when the tire pressure gauge in my car came on. Immediately I could feel a sense of panic rising within me, since buying my car I have had countless tire problems… Continue reading Taking Inventory
Love Triumphs Fear
Fear will tell you to retreat. To hide in the shadows. To focus on your inadequacies.
Love on the other hand is empowering and encouraging. It pushes you forward and reminds you of the purpose within your heart.
In what ways have you let fear cause you to retreat and hide? How can you shatter those walls and let love triumph
