I heard of this app on instagram. Then a friend told me I should look into it and I have absolutely fallen in love with it! It is like your own small group. I just started this one. Here is a glimpse of it. I will be posting my thoughts and prayers along with the devotional! Feel free to download the app and go along with me! would love to hear your thoughts and interpretations and let me know if there is anything I can pray for you!
This is the start of a new series called "The Ultimate Road Trip" On top of posting the video link when it is available I will be posting a link to the series. They even have a link for the ultimate road trip playlist :)

"Your sin does not disqualify you from your importance with what you are doing in life"
This was a powerful message. This past week I realized that when I am hurt or angry at someone I do not do things to hurt them, I do things to hurt myself. Which in turn. Hurts others because I am not at my best. I had a lot of let down and hurt the last two weeks, by people that I care about and give my all too and instead of learning from it and moving forward I dwelled on it and did stuff that was not right. Things I regret doing and let myself down. Things I am embarrassed of. Things I pray for forgiveness for. This message was just what I needed to learn that I am not defined by my actions.
"God can use your mistakes to enourage someone else with grace"
That is exactly what I want to do with this blog series. Do not believe the common lies that we tend to tell outsells that leave us to or out of sin. Instead, believe the 3 truths that will lead us to another chance!!
"1. God often rescues us from the pit and not the platform
2. God does not need ability, he needs availability
3. Gods Grace is at its best when second-chance recievers become second-chance givers."
Our Greatest enemy in faith is fear. Fear that keeps us from moving forward. Fear that brings us to the pit. If you read through the bible you see so many examples of Jesus helping others when they are in their pit. You do not see him helping those who are doing well, and succeeding. Its the ones that ask him to become a water walker, the ones that can not see, the ones who have murdered, or betrayed. He does not need us to bring that grace ourselves. We do not even have to be open to it- he just needs us to believe in him and he will do the rest! That is the best part! He takes care of it all for us! As we learned last week. Open heart and open hands. With those open hands we can share our struggles and our pits and help others learn from them and help them rise from their darkness together.
"what we did, is not who we are"
God- my dreams are available to you!
Love ya,

This week all I have done is ask myself "how can I break the cycle" the cycle of being hurt. Hurting myself(because I am hurt). Achieving my dreams and enjoying the ride instead of constantly questioning everything I do.
You know it will all come full circle the moment the worship song is the same song that was being sung while you were baptized. Reminding you that you are human, you will be forgiven and it's moments like that(while you are standing with your hands up to God, your eyes closed and tears running down your face) that you hear telling you "it's going to be ok. You got this". To break the chains(hello!) forgive yourself and those who hurt you and move forward. All that was before the service even started! Ha!
I will be adding and sharing my journey in a new blog series with notes from church, books and my own bible studies. Hopefully they will help bring a positive light to others as much as they have been for me! And you will have less preaching from me on your feed
*today's reminders by @loswhit* you must open your heart to be willing and open your hands to do the work! It's not about the thank you.
