Love that Girl You See in the Mirror


Friday morning I looked in the mirror, I loved who I saw, I smiled...and took a selfie.


It’s been awhile since I’ve liked the girl I’ve seen in the mirror. 


As I was putting moisturizer on my face, the Lord was showing me just how far I’ve come.


You’re healthy and it’s visible.


That’s what the Lord was speaking over me.


Sure I still have my struggles...but I’m HEALTHY and I love the girl I see in the mirror!


Question...do you believe the health of our mind and body is rooted to the health of our spirit?


I do!


Can hair being fixed, teeth brushed, legs shaved, weight lost, vitamins taken, face cared for be a sign of inward healing?


I believe so!


In seasons my spirit has wandered, my soul has carried heavy burdens, and it has shown physically and not just in my body weight.


BUT the moment I’d seek God spiritually, He’d lift my burdens mentally, and I’d find myself losing that weight physically.


The Bible says:


Now, may the God of peace and harmony set you apart, making you completely holy. And may your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—be kept completely flawless in the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.

‭‭

1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:23‬ ‭TPT‬‬


Self care...it starts with your spirit and transforms your mind and body!


Jesus wants to find us flawless—spirit, soul, and body!


Is this possible?


Absolutely!


And it starts with your spirit...seeking God.


So seek God and start loving that girl you see in the mirror.


You’re worth it!

The Crushing

  Crushing: A Godly sorrow that worketh repentance. “I will make them want to know me. They will know that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God. This is because they will return to me with their whole hearts.” ‭‭ Jeremiah‬ ‭24:7‬ ‭ICB‬‬ Rather you are entering a crushing, you are in the midst of a crushing, or if you just came out of a crushing it’s important to know that what the enemy means for evil; God is able to turn it right back around for the spiritual good of you and others when we truly love Him. The prophet Jeremiah had a very weighty message to carry to the unfaithful kings, priest, prophets and people of Judah when their hearts wavered. He exposed how they exchanged their love for the one true God for idol worship. He called them unfaithful adulterers. He warned them of the correction that would come if they didn’t repent, destroy their idols, and turn back. A correction that would crush their sin of idol worship to turn their hearts back to G...

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Image
Looking at my daughter, her fighting back the tears, instantly I thought...like mother, like daughter. Do you ever pray...Lord, don’t let my child have that part of me? I found myself praying that over my daughter the morning of her birthday. With that prayer...God revealed some truths. The day after her birthday she had her first day of gymnastics. I could tell she was nervous as she walked to the mat for the very first time. There she was with a really big smile on her face stretching with the rest of the girls. Then it was time...time to do the hand stand. She stood there hesitant...tears welling up in her eyes. Her body language showed fear. I remember as a little girl, my mom signed me up for dance...I wasn’t having it.  What I remember that one day: sitting near the wall, crying, and thinking—no way am I getting on that dance floor! And I didn’t...fear stopped me. As I videoed, I questioned if she’d be like her me? Would fear of being hurt stop her? Would she press through? S...
