Introduction To Immeasurably More




Hey Guys!

I'm assuming if you're reading this, you're hoping to learn a little about what's been going on in my life the past few months. You may be hoping for all the dirty details. You may know half of one side of the story. Or we may be new friends and you have no idea what I'm talking about. Look, I'm not going to guarantee that you'll go away from here knowing my entire life story. In fact, you'll probably only get a small portion of my past and only if it's necessary for back story to make a point. Everything is useful to God. Even choices that we regret and wish we could change are used by Him to mold and shape us and bring us closer to Him. I'm not going to talk negatively or put down others. Every one has to learn things their own way and in God's timing. It's taken God almost 7 years to fully get my attention.


God has laid so much on my heart and I feel it's time for me to open up and share with you guys. If my testimony and struggle can be helpful to even one person, then going through it was worth it. It's already been a huge learning experience for me. I feel like I'm constantly in the refiner's fire, being forged into a woman after God's heart. It's painful. Growth is so painful. It seems like it would be easier to not suffer at all and just live life in obedience always. It wouldn't mean as much if everything was handed to us on a platter. The struggle is more meaningful after a little (or a lot) of suffering.

1 Peter 5:10-11
10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.


Trust me. It's worth it.

My next post will have a little more to chew on and ponder. We are going to talk about a lot of stuff on this blog. Dating, marriage, and relationships in general with both men and women. How to develop healthy ways to approach different social situations. We are going to talk about purity a lot. It's a topic that's very near and dear to my heart for reasons you will find out if you stick with me! I'm excited to share part of my journey with you. I'm not perfect and I absolutely don't have all the answers. Each post will be prayed over intensely. I ask that you will pray for clarity for me also, and wisdom to know how much to share and what topics to cover. I don't know yet how often I will post. I don't want to post just to put something up. I want each article to be Spirit lead and useful to build up and challenge my readers.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I'm excited for this journey!

Still I Rise

I found the above scripture quote on Pinterest tonight. It very accurately sums up how I feel right now. Even through failure, I will rise and seek God. Even when I sit in darkness and can see no way out, the Lord will be my light. No matter what may come my way, God is there and ready to comfort, strengthen and lead me. The song below is called “It Is Well”. There is a phrase that says “Through it all, through it all, my eyes are on You. Through it all, through it all it is well, it is well with me.”  No matter what, I know God is God. As long as I focus on Him and stay in line with His will for me, all is well and I can continue on.  Rise! The Lord will be your light! Praise Him!

Finding Rest

There’s been a lot going on in my life these past couple years. Separations, divorce, marriage, court hearings, more separations, another potential divorce, ups, downs all arounds. Add to that financial struggle brought on some by myself and some by the people I allowed into my life. Finding rest in difficulties can feel so out of reach!  What does it mean to find true rest? I’ve spent countless nights tossing and turning and worrying about every tiny detail and playing out every possible scenario. Most of the time I’ll wake up in the morning after a night like that, and feel God ask “Well how was that? What good did that do? Did you solve anything?”  Obviously not. I’ll say I’m laying things down at the feet of God, but then I’ll pick it back up and carry it out the door with me. The bottom line here is that God  is working for us! He is fighting on our behalf! There is no need for us to lay awake at night, fearful of what the morning has in store.  God i...
