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!

Helping A Friend Through Divorce

Goodness this is tough to write. For a few reasons.  I feel like a failure. Shameful. Guilty. Stressed. Overwhelmed. Less than.  God please help me to only say what is needed.  Help me to be wise. Thoughtful. Loving. Considerate. Truthful, but gaurded.  Let’s jump right in. Don’t pry I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been at church, work, the grocery store or wherever and someone asks me what happened. Some people are well meaning and actually do care and want to encourage. Some are just being nosy. In the two minutes I have to chat with you, I’m not going to be able to articulate what happened. You caught me off guard. I’m going to give you an answer that doesn’t give you much information at all. Please respect that.  Why you ask? The decision to go through with a divorce is one I’ve wrestled with for over a year.  It’s taken a long time to come to terms with it. Sleepless nights, begging God to speak out and tell me what to...

The Struggle Is Real

Hot dang! I thought these days were behind me. God has been teaching me so much lately. Everything has seemed to be on the right track for a couple months and His word has been speaking so loudly to me, confirming that I'm on the right track. Then today happened. Nothing really specific happened. It really was a good day with the kids. We had such great time together! Then insecurity and anger crept in like the jerk it is. Add a sappy song and it's a perfect recipe for disaster. What in the world!? I think there will just be bad days some times. Fighting the urge tonight to do anything I'll regret. It's hard. The struggle is so real! I'm thankful I have the kids tonight. Thankful I have my parent's to talk me through these emotions. Thankful that Christ Himself has experienced all the same trials He asks me to endure. He goes ahead of me in each situation. Also walks beside me, helping me along. Tonight is one of those lay-on-the-floor-and-cry-out-for-help...
