I don’t need permission, I don’t need someone to agree or not agree with me, I’m not going to waste my life. It might start small, but I will not despise small beginnings. I believe God is a chain breaker and I believe that He’s a Healer and I believe faith moves mountains and I believe that God is bigger than literally anything, no matter how bad it seems to our human eyes.

I am so excited about the rest of my life. So many incredible stories of God’s faithfulness and power are before me.

So many faces.

So many tears of release.

So many different colors of eyes that once were full of despair, but will remain joyful.

So many chains falling left & right at the feet of people bound by all sorts of darkness.

I guess with the busyness of life, I sometimes lose sight of this. I sometimes lose sight of what God has created me for.

Busyness will destroy you. Your motivation. Your drive. Your vision. Busyness will take your faith. Busyness will keep you from remembering your purpose. Sometimes, we think busy is good. I will be honest, I thrive on busy. Too much down time makes me go crazy. But we have to be so careful friends of busyness. When we get busy we lose sight of what matters most, and once we do that the enemy slips in without us even realizing it. Be so careful friends of busyness!

I am celebrating this Easter weekend remembering what God made me for. In Him I’m victorious! He has made me new. Nothing can get in the way of what He is doing in my life. He is for me. He made me for greatness. He knows me by name. His favor is surrounding me like a shield. He refreshes my soul, quiets my chaos, fills me with peace, and made me for HIS glory.

The same things are true for you. Get ready to be victorious, because He’s already sealed it for you!


He died on Friday.
But the good news is, Sunday came.

Sunday happened.

Friday was good.
Friday was significant.
Friday was REAL.
Friday was vital.
Friday was painful.
Friday was life-changing.

But if Sunday wouldn’t have come, Friday would have remained painful. If Sunday wouldn’t have come, we would have no reason to fully rejoice in Friday.

So, just like it did over 2,000 years ago, if you’re walking through something, if death is surrounding your life, whether it be in a physical way, or a spiritual/emotional/mental way, remember that Sunday came. Sunday will come. Sunday is here. Sunday is real. So while the night may be dark and lonely and terrifying, Sunday will come. Sunday HAS come. Sunday is HERE. The stone will be rolled away, the grave clothes will be left behind….So those things in your life, "the grave clothes" of doubt, confusion, chaos, pain, brokenness, loneliness, difficulties in various realms, shaky relationships, uncertainty, whatever it may be, they are left behind! The stone has been rolled away. He has made ALL things new!

{Christ has died, and Christ has risen, and Christ will come again!}
