Why worship?

"Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness." Psalm 29:2 

 Although last week was amazing with tons of great news about my career and business, that's not the only reason I worship. As believers we should give glory and honor to our Heavenly Father for who he is rather than what he can do for us. Earthly blessings are only a small glimpse of eternity. Worship in spite of every situation. 

For those who don't know, I am a member of the liturgical dance ministry at my church. We had our Sunday sermon through dance and here a snapshot. A few videos are an on my Facebook page! 

Happy Monday! 

Also, I'm posting less frequently here and more on my other social media pages. Be sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated :) 

Love you all! 

Heavenly Connection

Clarity, direction, productivity, whatever we lack wisdom in can be answered through prayer. Often we find ourselves drained trying to figure everything out on our own. It's time that we leverage our heavenly connect to save time, energy, and our sanity. :) Seek Christ. He's waiting.

"Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." Jeremiah 33:3 

God is greater...

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18 

As believers in Christ, a gracious spirit is essential, regardless of current circumstances. God is bigger than our issues. He's greater than our frustrations, so adopt a grateful heart that withstands the unpredictability of life.

Celebrate the small wins

I'm sending you all virtual high-fives! :) 

Zechariah 4:10 "Do not despise these small beginning, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin..."

Take time to celebrate and appreciate progress. Other people's successes (or failures) have nothing to do with the call on your life. If you're busy comparing your beginning to someone else's middle, discontentment will reign. Today, commit to taking an inventory of your wins, and thank God for every last one! 

P.S. I apologize for my mini hiatus but I'm back! I also post tons of inspiration on all of my social media platforms, so follow me there! :) Happy Tuesday!

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58

Let God Be God

The temptation to busy ourselves with things of this world is great. Usually, it's with the purest intentions. We're not trying to tell God how to be God, but we'll "help him out a little." You know, running ourselves ragged with work to push us to the next level career wise or in other aspects of life. When our lives become so busy that we're neglecting or shortening our time with God, it's time to reevaluate. Be still. Rest in Him. 

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10

Worry Wart

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Romans 15:13

Since iron sharpens iron (Pvbs 27:17), I try to surround myself with people who are positive and cause me to grow. However, sometimes I encounter worry warts. (People who are consistently talking about the worst case scenario, live in the worst case scenario, and thrive off feelings of fear, doubt, and anxiety.) As a believer, the unknown is familiar territory, since we live by faith and trust that God has our steps ordered. If you're a worrier, that should free you! We only can control our reactions when we face adversity. What do your words and actions reveal about you? Happy Wednesday!
