Happy Birthday to the most outrageous man on every dance floor! 🕺🏻 Dear husband, I am thanking God for your life today and for the way He has so wonderfully and specifically created you. You are an incredible leader and an intentional friend, you are a brilliant man with a humble heart, and you truly make everything more FUN. It is so easy to celebrate you, handsome! 🥳 I hope today is a sweet reminder of just how awesome and appreciated you are. Being your wife (and backup dancer) is a blessing. 🙏🏻 I LOVE YOU, you crazy goon!!! Cheers to you, and to pushing the boundaries of what is physically possible and socially acceptable on dance floors everywhere for another glorious year! 🥂
From planting churches to starting billion-dollar companies, from leading one of the most notorious gangs in Miami to leading hearts to Jesus Christ… THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR OUR GOD. 😭 ▫️ I never, ever want to forget tonight. Meeting these incredible brothers and sisters in Christ has refreshed my spirit and renewed my hope. Our Jesus does not give to us as the world gives — He overwhelms darkness with LIGHT; He overpowers fear with LOVE; He overcomes death with LIFE. ▫️ Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to confound the strong. YOUR STORY ISN’T OVER. “Our God uses imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will.” And it is beautiful. ▫️ Thank you for your powerful examples of faith @level305 @onekamcclellan @earlmcclellan @revjamesrobison + Betty Robison, Terry + Doris Looper 🙏🏻
My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me...”
I hope these words encourage your heart today. ✨ Happy 2019! Link in bio. #RepostPlus @sheleadsdaily - - - - - - On the blog: Falling Facedown "Let Jesus captivate you.

Happy New Year! 🥳 2019 is already wonderful because of this handsome guy. 🥰
No place I’d rather be tonight. 🥰 Grateful for friends who have truly become family.

Thank you beautiful @gennycarsten for being such an intentional gatherer of people. ✨ It is always an honor to be surrounded by these gorgeous ladies, and to be encouraged by the presence of women with such depth, insight, authenticity, and grace. I am still amazed that I get to be a part of this special circle of friends! I am grateful for each of you! ☕️ #classy (the classy hashtag is VERY classy, trust me 😜)
We didn’t have turkey today, but we did have breakfast for lunch and a sunset stroll on the beach!✨Filled with gratitude as we count our blessings, and prayerfully remembering our friends fighting for hope + joy this holiday season. We are thankful for the celebrations and the sorrows - and for the people we get to share both with. 🙏🏻 Mostly we are grateful for the steadfast love of the Lord, his mercies that are new every morning, and a faithfulness much greater than our own.

Happy Birthday to my first best friend! 🥳 I am so thankful you were born, even though you will forever be at least 6 weeks ahead of me in EVERYTHING. 😂 I cherish your friendship today just as much as every hilarious childhood memory we shared together. You are so much fun to be around, and somehow the smartest and most humble person I know. It is a joy to know you, and to see you with your wonderful family. I love you all! Enjoy your special day, beautiful cousin. ❤️

I share a name and a birthday with my Grandpa — named Marissa Don after Donald Bailey, and both born on December 29th. ▫️ He passed away the year before I was born, but his legacy of kindness, humor, and compassion lives on through my beautiful mom and her siblings. From the stories I have heard, he had the rugged strength and tender heart of a true cowboy. He was beloved as a father and a soldier, a husband and a friend. ▫️ Happy Veteran’s Day to the brave men and women who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy today. You are not forgotten. We see you, we honor you, and we thank you.
🙋🏼‍♀️ I need this right now. This week has seemed to bring to the surface so many areas of my inadequacy — as a friend, wife, employee, leader, daughter, sister... you name it and I can list the ways I am falling short. ▫️ My fear and my pride remind me to “be better” and to “do more,” and in my flesh I listen and agree. ▫️ But that is not the voice of God. My Good Shepherd addresses me always as “My Beloved” and speaks only life over me. It is HIS perfection - his perfect love - that drives out my fear. It is the glorious presence of my Savior that humbles my heart and rescues me from my pride. ▫️ Jesus, take my eyes off of myself. Fix my gaze on you, and renew my tired mind. I am not the Savior, YOU are. Tell me again that it isn’t about DOING but about BEING, simply being yours.
Two years ago I was working in sales at a tech startup company in Orange County, California. My heart wrestled daily with what I knew my Good Shepherd had whispered into my spirit ten years before. I had heard Him, but I never believed Him. There was no way I would ever be pure enough or knowledgeable enough to step into ministry. ▫️ “Daughter, boldly proclaim the name of Jesus Christ.” Even at my darkest, the impossible words of my Maker sang sweetly to my soul. ▫️ At work today I sat around a dinner table with these incredible and inspiring brothers and sisters, and I leaned in as each one shared stories of our Savior gently moving them from darkness into light. Their eyes sparkled and their faces glowed as they spoke the precious name of Jesus Christ, recounting the ways He had rescued and regenerated their hearts. They talked about revival and the revolutionary reality of the Gospel. ▫️ I listened in awe of our God, deeply encouraged by the way He is using His children to share His love with the world. @crazylove @harmonygrillo @alysfight — You refreshed my heart tonight! What you are doing matters, and is echoing in eternity even now. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. ▫️ And right now, I am at home with tears of wonder streaming down my face. The words of my Good Shepherd are far more powerful than my impurity or my ignorance. Jesus has imparted His purity to me; His Spirit is the one who gives wisdom and revelation and knowledge. He is Love, Life, Light, and Truth. And I am His. ▫️ “For He spoke, and it came to be...”
These sacred and holy scriptures leave me in breathless wonder, time and time again. 🙏🏻 Thankful anew today for the gift of literacy, unlimited access to the written Word of God, and a Teacher who is ever-present and always patient.
This story was not easy to write, but I know it is important to tell. 🙏🏻 Link in bio. ▫️ ▫️ 📸: Sunset in the beautiful village of Kamakumba
It was truly a joy working with you all! Thank you for so generously sharing your creativity, knowledge, laughter and time with me. I can’t say that I have ever in my life been referred to as “the talent” before so that was pretty confusing. Haha! I loved learning from each of you! 💙 @goodjanesbeauty @sophialeebeauty @yeyi_a @lidestri
😭😭😭 @officialresound ・・・ “My worship” x @philthompsonworship This song will get good to you so QUICK!! 🙌🏾🏃🏾‍♀️💨 We can’t seem to stop singing it.
Beautiful Baby Blake Ellen, you are already so very loved. 💕 If you are anything like your precious mama, then you are going to change the world. It is a joy to celebrate your life, sweet little one. 👼 I can’t wait to meet you!
