God isn't allergic to sin. If He stayed away from imperfection, He’d be alone. Instead, He invites us to run toward Him when we fail. He builds His home right in the middle of our mess. Your baggage doesn't scare Him; He already paid the price just to be near to you every day. 💕

Most of our lives aren't flashy highlights; they’re just normal, "boring" Tuesdays. God is in the laundry and the commute, not just the miracles. Every little bit of our day matters to Him. 💕

You don't have to hustle for a personality or a purpose. God is the one who hands you your identity. He’s the light in your dark spots and the peace in your panic. Anything good or noteworthy about us is just His character shining through. You’re defined by His goodness, not your own performance. 💕

When we feel like God is late, he often sees us as moving too fast. We get impatient, doubt his timing, and start building our own idols/plans to fill the silence. But while we’re busy panicking, he’s already working on the rescue. Trust his pace; he hasn’t forgotten you, he’s just making a way.💕

God’s holiness usually means "keep your distance," but with Him, it’s a bridge, not a wall. Even though He is perfectly set apart, He moves heaven and earth just to be near us. Our mess can’t stop His pursuit. Being wanted by a holy God is the ultimate gift because He’s already made the way home.💕

We were all rebels once, fighting God with our own pride and mistakes. But instead of crushing His enemies, He chose to adopt them. He stepped into our mess with mercy, turning us into family. Now He asks us to show that same wild kindness and love to people we’d rather just write off. 💕

Perfect ARC before the Super Bowl 🏈 💕✨

There’s a massive difference between being scared of someone and being in awe of them. Dread makes you want to hide, but real "fear of God" is more like the respect you have for the ocean; it’s powerful and wild, but you can’t stop looking at it. That kind of wonder doesn't push you away; it pulls you in and changes how you live. 🩷

We’re wired to earn our keep, but God’s love isn't a paycheck. He is the doer; we are the recipients. Jesus is our rest, finishing the work we could never start. 💕

When God makes war, He wins. He has strategies, like a path through the sea, that you haven’t even thought to pray for yet. Trust His "military strategy" for your life, even when He has to fight your own stubbornness to save you. He loves you enough to win the battle for your heart. 🩷

God’s patience with Pharaoh might feel frustrating, but it reveals His commitment to a greater purpose. We often try to rush His timing because we mistrust His heart, yet He remains patient even with our impatience. He is with you in the waiting, working out a plan far bigger than the struggle.🩷

God meets Moses in his doubt and the Israelites in their despair. When heartache steals your ability to hope, God doesn't demand more faith; He sends a rescuer. He knows when you have no strength left to fight, so He fights for you. He is compassionate, attentive, and always moves toward the hopeless.🩷

God uses broken people because sinners are all He has. Moses was a runaway murderer raised by a tyrant, yet God chose him anyway. If your past is messy or your mistakes feel final, take heart. God specializes in the unlikely. He doesn't need your perfection; He just wants you. You aren't too far gone.🩷

Officially 35 today 🎉✨Celebrating with my bestie of over 20 years at Disneyland 🏰💖

True flourishing has nothing to do with your bank account or your circumstances. Even in a famine, God’s people thrive because they have His presence. You can build a temporary castle without Him, but your soul will remain hungry. Real life is found in drawing near. 🩷
