Homegirl, you’re not worth it.

Homegirl, you’re not worth it.
I feel like that’s what we keep telling ourselves bc we keep settling for way less than we deserve.

Why though?
Why are we settling for relationships with people we have never actually met?
Why are we creating these fake relationships that only exist in our heads?
Why do we allow that boy to only snapchat us?

It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see people in these “relationships” and them think that it is okay.
It’s not okay.

You’re worth way more than a relationship that wouldn’t exist without a phone.

The way to change this is to understand your self worth. Your worth does NOT come from a dumb boy. Your worth comes from the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who stepped down from heaven for YOU. 

God made you. 
Jesus died for you.
Don’t settle for a boy that won’t even ask you to go on a date.

Faith Over Fear


Hello palz. Hope you’re all having a fab Thursday!!! I typically like to post what God is teaching me in different areas of my life from time to time. I do this to share and help others who could be dealing with similar situations and I also do it because it’s fun for me to look back on and see all He has done. 

The past few months, I have been in this state of fear. Fear had been controlling my life. It was giving me anxiety and seemed to be the only thing I thought about. For me right now, my fear is all about the future. Finding a job, knowing where I’m going to live, being able to financially support myself and my dreams, having a stable job to grow in, be in a city I love, surrounded by people I love. 

I still don’t have any of those things figured out for the next few months, but I do have much less fear about it.

I about two weeks ago I had just had enough. I was tired of feeling scared and anxious about the unknown future. I serve at the student ministry at my church and before service our student pastor asked us to raise our hands if we wanted God to move that night.

I raised my hand.
+ boy oh boy did the Lord move!

The message was about making bold moves, living in freedom and trusting God’s provisions for our lives and it honestly rocked my world.

I absolutely sobbed the entire service.
It was incredible and so freeing.
I could feel the weight of fear lifted as I just gave the future to God and told Him it’s His, not mine.

When you ask God to move, He’s going to.
He is going to change your heart and He is going to do it in His time.

Ever since, I have had such peace about graduating and being unemployed bc it’s what He wants.

My path might look different from the typ college graduate, but His plan is far greater than mine.


What has the Lord been teaching you recently??

XOXO,
E.

Word of the Year


So at the beginning of 2018 I feel like everyone had a word of they year.
I had never heard of it before and honestly thought it was kinda weird.

But ever since the start of 2018 one word keeps coming up.
In every sermon, every small group, literally everything.

SILENCE.

I mentioned in an earlier post how my small group was reading Present Over Perfect.
You should read it.

But basically I’ve realized that I am so so so busy all the time that I’m never actually silent. I’m never alone. I always have music playing, always watching Netflix, always talking on the phone.
Honestly, silence kind of freaks me out and makes me uncomfortable.

But I’ve been trying to be silent. Even if it’s just not playing music when I drive or sitting for a few minutes to relax.

It’s changed the game.
I’m not good at it at all but the more I do it, the more I want to.
The more I feel more connected to God.
The more peace and joy I feel.

It’s kind of crazy.

So, I want to continue being silent throughout 2018.
Whether it’s simply sitting, driving or journaling.

The word of 2018 is
SILENCE.

What’s your word of 2018?

XOXO,
E.
