This guy 😊🤗 12.6.2019 @courtsideleon We'll see 🤣😜😜

Directly from my journal, "Yes Lord, you are the wind in my sails. You guide my journey by your superior wisdom and grace and love. That I can have peace in. That I can trust!” Oh man, Friends, trust is hard. It is hard. Is that just me? I suspect not. The Lord, in has amazing grace and love, has been nudging, and if I'm honest shoving, me towards being able to truly trust Him, that He is good and no matter how things may turn out in this messy thing called life, He is still good. He still has good plans for me, even when and if they don't work out the way I would like them to. That NEVER makes His plans, and more importantly, His character, less good. NEVER. EVER. Okay Lord, I will trust you. I am trying to trust you. Please, O my God, help me to trust you! °° #pureandsimple #trust #itshard #helpmeLord #Jesus #windinsails

There's too much hate and too much hurt in the world. Can we all just take a minute to look up today? Can we allow ourselves to be reminded just how much of a grace it is that we are even alive today? Can we remember when we look around us at this beautiful 🌎, especially today, that God saw fit to create it and us FOR A REASON! AND He also saw fit to create our neighbors, and the people who aren't driving the way we want them to, and YES even the politicians and leaders running countries, ours and others. Let's all just take a minute today....remember that you are human, created in the image of God, and so is everyone else around you, and that is REASON ENOUGH to be kind to and to value both yourself and others. ○○ #kindnessmatters #humansmatter #imagebearers #letstakeaminute

Occasionally, God gives me a word or phrase during time with Him that is so appropriate and necessary in my life, that I feel the need to right it on my skin as a reminder. And this particular phrase came to me this morning during a Bible based guided meditation I have taken to doing in the mornings to get my mind right. This morning's was on Philippians 2:5 talking about having the mind of Christ, which was always at peace with whatever the Father had for him, in whatever season of life he was in. That's a high calling, since the majority of Jesus's life on earth was full of persecution and suffering and betrayal by his closest friends. It was so good to be reminded, that in my current season-- much easier to bear than anything Christ bore-- I am, first of all, cared for enough by my Father for Him to reach down into my morning and give me exactly what I needed to hear, and, second of all, FULLY EQUIPPED to just what that verse in Philippians says, "adopt the attitude that was in Christ Jesus". This is no easy feat by any means, BUT I have the very Spirit of God which made Christ, who was fully dead, alive again, living inside of me every moment of every day! Now try to tell me that I can't adopt the attitude of Christ as my own?! Self, please do not believe that lie. Brother or Sister, please do not believe that lie. Surrender to the Joy that lives in you. Joy and Peace that surpasses all human understanding. Joy is not a feeling, like happiness, it is a state of being which we are fully equipped to abide in! ○○ #pureandsimple #GodisSOgood #fullyequipped #abideinjoy #surrendertojoy #joyisnotafeeling #feelingsarefleeting #HolySpirit #Jesus #WordofGod #Truth

I'm only 19 pages into this book and I am already SO GRATEFUL for the fact that it exists and I get to read it-- she starts with Chapter 0, I just love that! @anniefdowns thank you for listening to God and writing this book, so that I could be reminded to remember Him tonight in the midst of SO MUCH distraction! You are a gift, Sister! ○○ #God #RememberGod #Jesus #ThatSoundsFun #AnnieFDowns #greatbooks #grateful #GodisAmazing #MyGod #inthemidstofdistraction #livelifewell

Hey there! It's been a while, hasn't it? ○ Hope you all had a fantabulous #LDW2019! Mine was pretty schnazzy, as time off work usually is! Let's see, went to a Jonas Bros concert, felt old and may have burst an ear drum from all the screaming. Check! Don't feel the need to do that again. In general, just spent a lot of time with some great peeps! BUT what I'm really STOKED to share about is the culminating of a lot of learning I have been doing about myself, how God made me. As a 9 on the Enneagram, I have tended, in many seasons of life on many different projects, to just give up when things have gotten difficult or uncomfortable. I am very much so committed to a sense of inner peace and harmony and comfort, so when anything disrupts that inner peace I'm like, "Bah Felicia!" {{Well yesterday was different.}} I had all the opportunity in the world to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, to numb out all day in front of the endless distraction pit of Netflix. That's what I've been doing a lot of lately because as soon as this book I'm writing got uncomfortable, and I didn't know where to go with it, on the shelf it went and numb I became. Yesterday, 🎶for the first time in FOREVER🎶, I was COURAGEOUS and allowed myself to believe that what I have to say through this project MATTERS. God has placed a story in my heart, and I have to write it! No matter how hard or uncomfortable it gets. ○ So Friends, all that to say, Hello again! And be on the lookout for a novel from yours truly....at some point in the near future....eventually.... #enneagram9 #justdoit #takeaction #learning #howGodmademe #gifts #talents #growth #comfort #getUNCOMFORTABLE #purpose #writing #<3Yours #book #novel #eventually
