We want to wish you a Happy July 4th!

Happy Fourth of July Friends! I am so grateful for the freedom I have and for our soldiers and police officers who fight every day and risking their own lives to defend our freedom! I often feel as though they're not recognized or appreciated enough. So major shout out to you Ladies and Gentlemen. I thank each and every one of you for your service!

I'm so glad to be free! & to live in a country that's free. I'm blessed that I live in a country to where I can open up my bible at a star bucks  without the fear of authorities seeing me and dragging me off to jail.. A thought like that hasn't even crossed my mind while opening my bible at a star bucks. And I'm so blessed I don't have to live like that. But my heart yearns for those who are murdered and prosecuted to this day just because they just own a bible.

I'm glad we have the freedom  to make a difference in the world we live in. I'm glad we have the opportunity to speak up and fight for the innocent. Though I am often thinking of ways to make my voice louder and more effective. I really don't plan on leaving this earth until every abortion clinic is closed and burned to the ground.

And most importantly friends, I'm so extremely blessed for my Freedom in Christ. This is a freedom to really rejoice and shout about. For if I didn't carry this freedom no other freedom would matter. I would be nothing. I am free from my past, present and future. I'm free from what ever comes my way.. Being free in Jesus just makes this life  worth living. Yay Jesus!!

Purity & Forgiveness

Happy July 1st!!! I feel like this year is going by so fast.  I'm doing something a bit differently today friends. I'm going to be sharing a vlog with you! This is my very first time making a spiritual vlog so I was a bit nervous but making encouraging blogs are something that Jesus has been really putting upon my heart to do. It's definitely not something I like to do because well, they're  awkward and sometimes I just don't know what to say or share. A bit out of my comfort zone you know?  But God has given me the words to speak just as He has given me the courage to turn my video camera on & share. I've heard these things get easier and easier with every vlog so until than I can be fearless. I know these vlogs Jesus has encouraged me to do will bless someone including myself to be more of a public speaker. Anyways... Now that I have poured my heart out to you about vlogging.

This vlog title is called "Purity & Forgiveness"
About forgetting  what God has already forgotten which is such a hard thing to do sometimes isn't it? We often feel like God remembers the bad things more than the good. But my friend it's the total opposite. The God we serve is The God of love and when Jesus died on the cross for you all of your sins were forgiven & forgotten right there. Right at the moment Our Sweet Beloved whispered "It is finished".  Our Past. Our Present. Our Future. There is nothing that you can do to separate His love from you.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:38-39

Today friends, right this moment. I deeply encourage you to forget what God has already forgotten.. To trust and accept the fact that you ARE forgiven, loved and treasured indescribably. He takes great delight in you girl! Much love XOXO
