STILLNESS. It’s hard for me to sit still and be silent. Before God, fighting distraction, and the endlessness of life.
However some grumpy and discouraged feelings this week have revealed my lack of sitting at the feet of Jesus and offering some sweet sweet prayers to him.
Is it easy? Heck no. I feel humbled which is a painful process.
But when I quit trying to be the hero, needing “special” feelings, or wanting my own glory as my motivation all I am left with is seeing my own weaknesses.
My motivation this Wednesday MUST be for the Glory of God and Good of Others. And no other. So even though I don’t have all the FEELS, in FAITH I’m going to claim that as my #WednesdayWinDay. Thanks @jessaconnolly for the inspiration. @goandtellgals #ministry #writing #life #encouragement #humility #pride #gospel #motivation #stillness #prayer #silence #ipreview via @preview.app #hongkong #travel

AWAIT. This season of engagement stirs many feelings of waiting.
In the depths of winter I await the first signs of spring.
I await the excitement of the summer.
I await our coming nuptials in the fall.
I await the joy of building a home and family together.
But now, I sit in contentment, enjoying the joys of this place. This winter place on being planted. Going wedding dress shopping (!!), which was very calm compared to my childhood expectations.
For those who are married, did engagement live up to your expectations? Was it filled with joy and wonder? How did you keep God at the center? #engaged #weddingdress #await #waiting #marriage #decor #fiddleleadfigtree #ipreview via @preview.app @tmodernbride @atticgold

Sitting on the top of the world. ⠀⠀
I knew that Bens parents loved me when they were willing to run up a mountain with me so we could get here (after an already tiring day of walking). ⠀⠀
Some of my favourite parts of Macau was the old Portuguese section, the street markets, and the food!! The casinos are cool but I wouldn’t go back to see those.
When your at the top of the mountain it’s incredible what you can see. Clarity on what’s in the valley below. Sometimes we need that birds eye perspective in life although it’s rare when we get them. ⠀⠀
Often we’re stuck in the valley. It can feel like a hard place, a dark place, confusing. But I’ve found that I see God more glorious in the valley. How do you experience God in your valley? #macau #travel #hongkong #china #christianblogger #ipreview via @preview.app

Let’s taco bout food 🌮 God has been speaking to me lately about self control. It’s a real struggle.
.
A small cheat on food that makes me sick (dairy + sugar), once a week. Or twice, or more. It seems small. Insignificant. But it does hurt my body. Increases stress, and impacts my heart.
.
I see self control issues in other areas of my life. Indulgences. How can I honour my body, my time, and God with my choices? How do I not give in when the temptation is so pressing.
.
I don’t have all the answers. I don’t want to be strict and demanding. Too legalistic. I want to enjoy good moments and people. But I need to tend and care for my body. .
How do you guys manage self control? Or respond when you fail? .
For anyone wondering: this vegan breakfast burrito was the BOMB.
