Sweet friend, .
If it isn’t good, it isn’t God.. but He will use it. We’re in constant prayer for God to do this or change that. God heal or God help, and we miss Him. God is working right now. Purposefully, this very minute He is knitting delicately and intricately, piece after piece of your story, but while He wastes nothing, we miss so much looking for something different.
.
He will use all of it. All of that bad stuff, all of the pain, all of your mistakes, your shortcomings and theirs too. He won’t waste a thing, but will you?
.
You have a past? Surrender; God will use it.
.
Your marriage is struggling? Give it to God, He will use it.
.
That diagnosis? Trust God. He will use it.
.
Someone hurt you? Love them anyway.
God will use it.
.
Your finances are struggling? Depend on God. He will use it.
.
That miscarriage, search for God. He will use it.
.
This world is a bad world, and on this side of eternity... it’s hard. It hurts, but everything EVERYTHING the enemy intended for evil, God will use for good.. if we’re willing. Don’t miss the message because you’re too focused on the mess. Perspective is everything.
.
God,
.
This doesn’t feel good, but I know you are good. I believe, help my unbelief. Use this, God. Use me. Help me see you. Change my perspective God and with it change my heart. Thank you, God, for trusting me with this season. Thank you, God, for You.
.
Amen

“God meet me, I don’t even know what to pray. My heart hurts, and I’m tired. Amen” it’s what I prayed before I stared at the pages of my bible and waited for Jesus to intercede for me. I think sometimes when we don’t know what to pray or ask for, or maybe we do and He just doesn’t have the answers we’re waiting on, He can bring us here- to a place that will remind us of who He is, of what He is about, and that all of this is temporary even when it feels everlasting. Read each of the promises tonight and hold them close, maybe copy them to the margins of your Bible in psalm 37, too, and book mark a season of empty to return to when the Valley is over. The page you cry over tonight, you can celebrate over later, because God is faithful and (8.) even when you feel like you have nothing, God promises you enough. #messandmercy #biblestudy #biblescripture #thehighlightedbible #messybible #godspromises #moutainsandvalleys

I told my husband this week “I just feel like I’m a shell and the inside is empty; I want that fullness back”
.
It’s why I’m seeking the Lord so hard right now. I feel like I’m rolling through the right responses and still trying to do the right things, but all of the busy around me has crowded out the intentionality inside of me.
.
I think we want to embrace two lifestyles that seem to be trending: the #mylifeistogether but you’re really faking it OR the #hotmessexpress in the I’m trying to make it cute but I’m really struggling inside kind of way. .
I pulled this cup from my cabinet and went to pour coffee Inside until I realized it needing cleaning. Looked good on the outside though? .
Y’all, what’s on the inside matters. Light brings healing, and healing brings fulfillment- in the big things and the little things, in the easy stuff and in the hard, in the i can do this and in the i cant..but we can’t expose what we are constantly trying to cover up or hide from. .
So what if my cup had dirt in it, and so what if I cried because my kid threw up all over me, my couch, and my floor. You acknowledge something is dirty at home, and you clean it up... or your like me and acknowledge it, walk over it for two days, and then clean it... but you clean it... when did we stop thinking life was any different? That our hearts were any different?
.
Doing the right things without the right heart are just things not service. If you’re too afraid to be honest with everybody else, my prayer is that you can be honest with yourself. The new thing is “it’s okay to not be okay” but it’s not. It’s painful and intrusive and completely not necessary. Transparency is the transition to transformation, but it starts at us. #messandmercy #messandmercyblog #itsokaytonotbeokay #hotmessexpress #ivegotitundercontrol #whatsinsidematters

This 👏🏼 is👏🏼so 👏🏼accurate👏🏼 the Old Testament scripture is packed full of idolatry and it’s so difficult for me to imagine people being so careless worshipping things like golden calves and stone idols but we do the same thing we when set aside worshiping God for other activities, hobbies, or priorities. It doesn’t have to be dipped in gold to be called sin.

Inherit is defined as receive as an heir at the death of the previous holder. Read that again, slowly. Well done my good and faithful servant, yours is the kingdom of heaven. He gives freely and fully, but we want to receive our blessings and close our hands. I’m so protective over what is mine- my husband, my kids, my heart. The way my husband kisses me, the way my babies still want me to hold them, the way my heart feels all the things I feel justified that they can... I want them all and I want them for myself, tucked away. God calls the man in this chapter an evil, lazy servant- the one that hides what God gives you for fear of what might happen to it, but the guy that opens his hand doubles the blessings. Can I give you some advice? Your biggest blessings are the ones you need to release first. God asked for an open hand and a servants heart. I gave God my marriage, my kids, and my heart- He is taking piece by piece. It’s sanctifying. I’m not sure what’s harder- realizing you can’t do it all or realizing you shouldn’t, but both are good. Pray with me for receiving hearts and open hands, for faith without fear, and a submissive spirit- all ready for the advancement of His kingdom. Amen ♥️ #messandmercyblog #messandmercy #biblestudy #faith #openhands #willingheart
