😻 Valid. A beautiful post and gorgeous words from @thebarefootpreacher ♥️ ・・・ Happy Saturday, beautiful friends! . Cracked & as always, keeping it real right here ✋ If we don't embrace reality, and make friends with it, our potential is limited. But the impact of GROWTH - oh my heart. Every aspect of life expands or contracts according to our willingness to grow. I'm sure of it!! . I hope you enjoy this post today. Your heart was on my heart as I wrote it; and as I continue to write about the miracle of motherhood. xox J. (link in bio @thebarefootpreacher) . "Friend, your babies will inspire you. They will tire you. They will encourage you. They will enrage you and engage you and make you laugh until your sides hurt and cry until you’re sure there isn’t a single tear left. And they will tear you apart into pieces that can never be stitched back together again. . (Don’t tell anyone I told you this, but you don’t want the old you to be stitched back together again. You want the new you. I promise a million times over you want her! Even if the “her” you are today isn’t the one you imagined you would be. I see IG as a ministry opportunity; a way to serve God and encourage people. On New Year’s Day this year, I was praying...I heard the Lord invite me to learn to WAIT on Him more this year than ever before. To be quick to LISTEN, slow to speak... To not succumb to the pressure of producing content but giving out of the overflow of what He gives me. On numerous occasions when in prayer circles and it was my turn I just waited on the Lord and asked what I could add...there have been many times I just felt led to pass and have the next person pray. I just want to abide in Him and not feel obligated to fill stillness with empty words just because that’s what’s become normal. I want to say what I hear the Father saying. Sure I’m good with words and am a powerful, prophetic prayer warrior...but sometimes the power is just in surrendering to His presence. ••• Lately it’s been a season of enjoying stillness, resting, waiting, listening, praying and processing. I’ve been taking a lot more time to disconnect from my phone, delete unused and unneeded apps, stop all notifications, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries for soul care, being intentional about relationships and being fully present. I’ve also been enjoying a lot more time on the ground in silence just soaking in His presence. Not presenting all my requests and petitions in prayer, just spending time with my Greatest Love. He hasn’t said much, and I’m okay with that. For my married friends, don’t you savor those moments with your spouse when you’re just sitting together not saying much yet coming away feeling so bonded? Sometimes a lot is said in silence, right? Well our Heavenly Husband is jealous to have quality time like that with us too. Prioritize that. ••• God is working a lot of junk out of me. He’s opening my eyes to who I am and all He’s calling me into. A shift is happening. I’m not quite certain what that means just yet but I’m content in dancing in the mystery. My commitment to you, friend is to only offer what I hear the Lord saying. So that’s the reason for my social media slow down lately. I’m just listening and waiting and I encourage you to ask the Lord if He’s calling you to do the same. 🖤 Hey! Hope you’re having a GREAT day! Did ya catch my IG Live this morning? If not, it’s up on my YouTube Channel [link in bio] ••• In today’s #CarChatsWithHeather I share an encouraging word geared toward those that are feeling like you have big goals, dreams and visions and want to be used by God in Billie, audacious ways in the ministry yet feeling frustrated because you’re not yet where you want to be....could that be you? You’re not alone. But you know what’s awesome...God promises to use ALL things to work together for your good (and for His glory) because you love Him. Yup, even your upbringing, personality, work experience and failures! ••• Take a few minutes and tune in to get encouraged by this passionate message that will speak life and love to your spirit.

It’s not semantics, this subtlety matters! ••• A lot of times we see anxiety and depression dominating people’s lives because their soul is at war with their spirit. •••What do I mean by that?••• When your soul (mind, will, emotions) is dominated by feelings, fears and hurts, our Spirit (eternal being / new life in Christ) gets ignored, squashed, dismissed. It’s an internal war. I know because I’ve been through many MANY cycles of it. Holy Spirit is such a great Comforter and Counselor and she’s not afraid to point out the junk that’s contaminating our lives. It’s called conviction and it’s healthy because when we are courageous and deal with that inner yuck, we can experience freedom, peace and joy! ••• My encouragement for you today is to have a chat with Holy Spirit and allow your mind and heart to be checked. It is not Gods will for you to live at war with yourself. You may have to break agreements you’ve made as a way to cope and compensate for pains in the past (or present). You may have to establish some boundaries with some people and let them know you’ll no longer be participating in drama or have that hard conversation with someone in your world where you educate them on your core values and inform them some changes are going to be made. FIGHT for your GOD-given identity, Dear One. Be all that He created you to be. I promise it’s glorious! ••• Okay, wow...who needed this word today? I feel it in my spirit this is a convicting and confirming word for someone. •Be•YOU• Please. And don’t apologize for it. You’re valuable. And there’s nothing fundamentally flawed about you. You’re made in the image of Christ and He makes no mistakes. Most people will try to get you to conform to the likeness of their ideal image of you....but you fight against that nonsense and be only who God creates you to be. Peer pressure sucks. Don’t negotiate. ・・・ #Repost @knowyourworth_bobbijo #Repost @azvineyardchurch ・・・ War Chest Fast Day 5 Verse: Check out John 4:35, 38!

#Repost @billjohnsonministries ・・・ Every one of us has been assigned by God to both overt and covert ministry; power and wisdom. Power brings the breakthrough. Wisdom taps into the way of life that God intended for us. It’s wisdom which enables us to sustain the breakthrough, and also positions us to reign in life. #power #wisdom Just woke up from an interesting dream. In one part of it I ran into a pretty well-known pastor here in Arrowhead/Goodyear in the grocery store and began talking with him. I kept taking LaCriox off the shelf and putting it in his cart. He kept taking them out 🤣 At the end he was kind, gave me a hug and an encouraging word. Later in the dream I was frantically rushing to get to an airport. As the shuttle came by and the door slid open I saw the lead pastor of my former church sitting in the seat nearest the door. She looked at me with such disgust and didn’t even acknowledge she knew me. As I climbed over her with my baggage to get a seat, I discovered there were none. Just a space on the floor in the very back where a seat was removed. I sat on the floor thankful I would make it to the airport on time and just so sad for the lady sitting by the door that treated me so poorly. Again. I prayed for her heart and spoke life and identity back into her. ••• Sometimes rejection is a blessing of redirection. There are some leaders that are exemplary and others that help you learn who you’d rather not want to become. There’s beauty in it all. Just maintain a heart of honor and be grateful for all the people God puts in your path to pastor you into the person He’s preparing you to be to carry out His plan and purpose for your life. 🖤 #Repost @stirringchurch ・・・ “God is writing a story much bigger than your rejection.”
