It’s Alright To Be Human

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we as Christians sometimes try to hide our humanness.

We try hard not to show when we mess up. We want people to see Jesus in is. Not our messes. Yes, it’s true that we need to follow God’s commands & Love Him as well as love others. I’ve been thinking about what this means. Believe me when I say I’ve messed up <plenty>

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

To truly love others we have to not only be willing to point them to Him, but show them what it’s like to reconcile. That Doesn’t mean everybody has to see every dark detail of the mistakes we make. However, it seems to me that if another person DOES she it, we need to help them see how important making right a wrong is.

I guess I’m trying to say we shouldn’t try to hide our humanness but remind ourselves that our battles truly are not against flesh and blood.

This is in response to the question on my Instagram stories awhile back when someone asked, “what have you learned about yourself, God, or others in the past few months?”

Learning To Embrace The Crazy

Have you ever had a bad day? Not just any bad day, but the kind that could be turned into a movie? It might have gone something like this: after waking up late because your alarm didn’t go off, you didn’t have time to eat breakfast. So, you make your favorite quick breakfast drink. On your way to work you spilled your drink while checking your email & walking down the hallway. Then, you have a meeting but didn’t have time to go home & change. So, while attending the meeting you try to send a quick text to someone to bring you a change of clothes fast, because you need to present at another meeting. But your friend can’t help ya out. So, you head to the ladies room to clean up. As you try to clean up, you end up getting little bits of paper towel all over yourself & it looks much worse. That’s not all, though. You decide that since your outfit is at it’s worst, you could at least freshen up your makeup. As you get the makeup from your purse, the unthinkable ...

By Faith

These 2 words have been a reoccurring theme In my life lately. Remembering how important it is to live by FAITH & not by sight is definitely more easier said than done. However, when urs done right amazing things happen! I was recently reading Not Part of the Plan by @krstnclark + & @bethany.beal. One of the chapters focuses on the importance & results that the Bible gives to us about living by faith. Hebrews 11 is such an encouraging chapter. It never says by feeling Noah built the ark or by feeling Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born. It focus on the fact that those people didn’t always know what the end result would be. However they did take steps of faith. My Saturday thoughts. 💭
