I remember the first time I heard this verse, I will never forget it. I was raised in a religious household but was never taught to ask God for anything, and definitely not to boldly approach His throne. Let me be clear in the sense, that I wasn’t taught that it was wrong, it just wasn’t how we did religion growing up. Religion was quiet and calm, it was never, bold. I, personally grew up thinking I had no business asking God for anything when there were others who have absolutely nothing, and then I heard this verse and it completely changed my thoughts on who God was and how…

Similar to last weeks encouragement post, I am just feeling the need to help remind you and me that world is not a place we can trust. Society brings us lies about what is beautiful, what is right, what should be cherished and what we should love. I have absolutely fallen victim to many of these things and have learned that no matter what it is we choose to make a priority in this world, it should be for His glory.

So many people forget the most important part of this verse. Many tend to focus on the very first words , “Walk by faith,” although that prefaces what will come next, I personally think, the second part of that sentence should be the part that we don’t forget. “Not by sight”, we live in a world where we want what every one else has, we see it and we buy it – get it two days later via Prime (guilty)!

As you probably know by now, I am person who loves and thrives on predictability and consistency. This verse is such a light for me when I am struggling with parenting or wanting control. I have repeated this verse in my head so many times and it gives me so much peace. Fun fact about me, I have one tattoo. It is a small cross on my wrist and this verse was the reason for it! Such a wonderful visual reminder that He has this and I don’t. It keeps me humble and content and reminds me that I can Be Still and find Him in my heart and mind…

I want to start by saying this Blog is a huge leap of faith for me! I am stepping out of my comfort zone and into something I really feel the Lord has wanted me to do for quite some time now. So, here I am! My hope is to share verses and devotionals that may help you and me in keeping our priorities straight and our eyes fixed on the Lord, while we walk through our day to day life! I don’t know if you’ve ever felt this way, but sometimes I feel like my life is taking twists and turns that I did not plan for. And if…
