This week. These girls. So incredibly thankful for the tribe of grandparents who continue show up ❤ Life takes a village. These girls are blessed to have these love warriors cheering them on. #wedidhardthings . . . . #family #lovewell #wecandohardthings #support #justice #lovemygirls #beavoice So proud to be raising this army of girls; and so thankful for the tribe of strong women beside me in this crazy journey of motherhood. Happy mother's day!! Thank you @katiebethlamb for capturing our tribe of girls!! ❤ . . . . #blessed #mothersday #raisinggirls #raisingstronggirls #blogger #podcasts #progressivechristianity #griefsupport #lovewins #lovewell #loveyourself #bebravebeyou #bestillandknow #wecandohardthings #divinelove #dailyinspiration #risestrong #allarewelcome #spiritualjourney Some thoughts on belonging... Many of us search our entire lives for that feeling of belonging. Of fitting in, arriving or being accepted. But, the cost is often at our own expense. In the quest, we lose the most valuable space of belonging - belonging to ourselves. . . . Maybe, just maybe, you haven't been loved well because you believed your heart belonged to someone other than you. Maybe you haven't treated your body well because you believed it belonged to a person other than you. Maybe you haven't felt connected to your soul or spirit because you believed they didn't belong to you either. . . . When you belong to yourself, true belonging in spirit, soul and body is found. I can be whoever I want to be, because I belong to myself. I can work in whatever field I want to work in, because my work belongs to me. I can believe whatever I want to believe about God and others because my beliefs are mine. I can love whoever I choose to love because my heart belongs to me. I can start whatever I want to start and stop whatever I need to stop, because my time and investments belong to me. I can follow wherever the spirit leads me because I answer only to God and myself. . . . I am free. I am free from belonging to other people, things, labels, compartments, expectations and titles. I belong anywhere and everywhere I set my feet because I belong only to me. My friend, you belong to YOU. Take your body back. Take your heart back. Take your spirit and soul back from whoever you've given them to. You only belong to yourself and the Divine creator who made you. . . . . . . . #blogger #podcasts #progressivechristianity #griefsupport #lovewins #lovewell #loveyourself #bebravebeyou #bestillandknow #formerpastor #outsidersmemes #lovewins #beyou #divinelove #dailyinspiration #risestrong #joyinthemorning #allarewelcome #lovewins #spirituality #authenticity #spiritualjourney #spiritualgrowth #loveontheoutside #selfbelonging #truebelonging #god #divine Maybe you're like me and this week has been filled with hard things. With news that breaks your heart, overwhelming situations and emotions that are heavy. Let me take this moment to say: you will be okay. Whatever load you are carrying today, it will not last forever. Whatever pain you are grieving, the grief will eventually pass. Whatever to-do lists and circumstances that weigh on your mind, they are not permanent. All of this too shall pass. . . My friend, let me sit with you today, no make up on and curly, unruly hair galore - let me encourage you to find the light. Wherever there is dark, there is always light. Lift your eyes and look for the helpers. Go to where the love is. Embrace the hands willing to help you hold it all. Allow your heart to believe in the good. To rest in the knowing, THAT ALL WILL BE WELL. . . My friend, you are not alone. You are strong, brave, kind and good. Today, allow some of the goodness in ❤ . . . . . #formerpastor #outsidersmemes #lovewins #beyou #divinelove #dailyinspiration #risestrong #joyinthemorning #allarewelcome #blogger #podcasts #progressivechristianity #griefsupport #spirituality #bestillandknow #bebravebeyou So proud of my sweet dancing girl! And my dancing momma who trained her. Love my Lyla!!! Another show down! "If you are looking for verses with which to support slavery, you will find them. If you are looking for verses with which to abolish slavery, you will find them. If you are looking for verses with which to oppress women, you will find them. If you are looking for for verses with which to liberate or honor women, you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to wage war, you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to promote peace, you will find them. If you are looking for an out-dated, irrelevant ancient text, you will find it. If you are looking for truth, believe me, you will find it. This is why there are times when the most instructive question to bring to the text is not "what does it say?", but "what am I looking for?" I suspect Jesus knew this when he said, "ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened." If you want to do violence in this world, you will always find the weapons. If you want to heal, you will always find the balm" ~ Rachel Held Evans . . . #rachelheldevans #writer #spirituality #bestillandknow #bebravebeyou #allarewelcome #lovewins #beyou #divinelove #dailyinspiration #grateful
