… kinda crazy year to celebrate freedom, but hope maybe never mattered more:
Independent of what comes, we are dependent upon God and that is the greatest freedom of all.
There isn’t one of us who doesn’t need to hold on to:
What Freedom Really Means In 2020
thank you, Priscilla Shirer… “what makes us dare to think He doesn’t have our lives covered…”
needed words from Pastor Scott Sauls...Being the Church in a Global Pandemic
Books for Soul Healing:
Joy is actually possible, right where you are.
Take the dare to discover: Life is not an emergency…Life is a GIFT.
Life is too short to do anything but truly savor it — to count all the ways you truly loved.
What if Brokenness is the Path into the Abundant Life?
You don’t have to be afraid of broken things — because Christ is redeeming everything.
There’s no other authentic way forward — but a broken way — right into a profoundly abundant life.
Journey into a deeply meaningful life with this devotional and take sixty steps from heart-weary brokenness to Christ-focused abundance. The Way of Abundance — is the way forward every heart needs.
Be the Gift is a tender intivation into the next step of deeper transformation, less stress, more joy and abundantly more peace & purpose. You only get one life to love well…to Be The Gift.
on repeat this week: Have My Heart
…let’s just go ahead, Braveheart, & leap into our Monday, leap into the new week, take that leap of faith & do not be afraid — never, ever be afraid.
No matter what’s in front of you today: You Can! Because He Did!
Dare to draw nearer to the One who is so taken with you —
that He will take you in His arms & carry you through today.
Abandon the strangling fears today & abide in the safe expanse of Your Father.
Sit with it: You can abandon all your cares because Christ will never, ever, ever abandon you. You can let it all go — it is safe to trust. He is safe to trust.
Fear not — Believe… Those are the Words that the Maker of the World has given the entire world.
Fear not a grim forecast — Believe in the casting of a vision for more grace, more goodness, more God.
Fear not all the unknown things — Believe the God who knows all things.
Fear not each other — Believe in the best of each other.
Fear not — Hope always!
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
